[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 127 (Monday, July 1, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 33925] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-16694] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request Proposed Projects Title 45 CFR 303.7--Provision of Services in Interstate Child Support Enforcement Cases; Standard Forms. OMB No.: 0970-0085. Description: Regulations at 45 CFR 303.7 require a State child support enforcement agency to transmit child support case information on standard interstate forms when referring a case to another State for processing. The forms promote uniformity and standardization. States will have the choice of using one of two sets of forms--one set accommodates the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (URESA) and the other set accommodates the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). The URESA forms are the existing forms currently used by States. The UIFSA forms were recently developed by a workgroup of child support practitioners; these forms have been pilot-tested in several jurisdictions. UIFSA has now been adopted by over 30 States. OCSE contemplates that UIFSA forms will eventually be used for all cases. Respondents: State Governments.

In compliance with the requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Administration for Children and Families is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above.
