Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request 
Proposed Projects

    Title: Revised Form OCSE-100, State Plan for Child Support 
Collection and Establishment of Paternity Under Title IV-D of the 
Social Security Act.
    OMB No.: 0970-0017.
    Description: 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. Due to enactment of HR2105, technical 
amendments for PRWORA, we are updating our State plan by revising 5 
preprint pages. We are requesting approval of the revised State plan 
preprint pages for Section 2.1, Establishing Paternity and Securing 
Support, Section 2.5, Services to Individuals Not Receiving Title IV-A 
and IV-E Foster Care Assistance, Section 2.12-16 State Law Authorizing 
Suspension of Licenses, Section 2.12-20, Adoption of Uniform State 
Laws, and Section 3.16, Cooperation by Applicants for and Recipients of 
Part A Assistance. 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: States, Guam, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and District 
of Columbia.
