Within three months of approval of this collection, the agency will submit to the OMB desk officer the agencyÂs plan to prospectively realize efficiencies in the design, measurement, planned comparisons, and data interoperability between the current collection 201205-0970-006 (Urban AIAN), 201206-0970-003 (Tribal TANF and Child Welfare Services), 201203-0970-002 (Descriptive Tribal TANF), and 0970-0394 (HPOG). This plan should be specific, with an aim to maximize data utility, advancement of science, and reduction of cost and burden. Specific, measureable outcomes should be specified; holding weekly field operations meetings would not be sufficient.
