Proposed Projects

    Title: National Directory of New Hires Reporting Results Survey.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: Pub. L. 104-193, the ``Personal Responsibility and 
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,'' required the Office of 
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to develop a National Directory of New 
Hires (NDNH) to improve the ability of State child support agencies to 
locate noncustodial parents and collect child support across State 
lines. In order to encourage continued and even improved cooperation 
with the requirements of the program, OCSE would like to conduct a 
brief telephone survey to solicit any information already collected by 
the States as to improve collection and other programmatic savings 
attributable to the program. That information would then be condensed 
into a report to be published through newsletters or press releases.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Govt.
