Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Child Support Enforcement Program: State Plan Approval and 
Grant Procedures, State Plan Requirements, Standards for Program 
Operations, Federal Financial Participation, Optional Cooperative 
Agreements for Medical Support Enforcement, and Computerized Support 
Enforcement Systems.
    OMB No.: 0970-0017.
    Description: The Office of Child Support Enforcement is requesting 
public comments for the information collection requirements included in 
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued January 29, 1996 in the Federal 
Register (61 FR 2774). As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507 (d)), The Department of Health and Human Services 
is submitting a copy of the revised State plan preprint page to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its review.
    The State plan preprint and amendments serve as a contract with 
OCSE in outlining the activities the States will perform as required by 
law in order for States to receive federal funds to meet the costs of 
these activities. We are asking for approval of the revised State plan 
preprint page for Periodic Reporting to Consumer Reporting Agencies to 
reflect new Federal requirements. Procedures to Improve Program 
Effectiveness, is amended by adding a new section 7, Periodic Reporting 
to Consumer Reporting Agencies, which requires the State to have 
procedures, (1) to periodically report information regarding the amount 
of overdue support owed by an absent parent to consumer reporting 
agencies when such amount exceeds $1,000 and is at least two months in 
arrears in accordance with section 666(a)(7) of the Act; and (2) for 
making absent parent information available to Consumer Reporting 
Agencies in accordance with Sec.302.70(d). The information collected on 
the State plan pages is necessary to enable OCSE to monitor compliance 
with the requirements in Title IV-D of the Social Security Act and 
implementing regulations.
    Respondents: State governments
