Proposed Project

    Title: Financial Institution Data Match.
    OMB No.: New.
    Description: Section 372 of Pub. L. 104-193, requires State to 
establish procedures under which the State Child support enforcement 
(IV-D) agency shall enter into agreements with financial institutions 
doing business in the State for the purpose of securing information 
leading to the enforcement of child support orders. States will develop 
and operate, a data match system in which each financial institution 
will provide quarterly the name, record address, social security number 
of taxpayer identification number, and other identifying information 
for each noncustodial parent who maintains an account at such 
institution and who owes past-due support. H.R. 3130, the ``Child 
Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998'', section 506 amends 
section 452 and 466(a)(17)(A)(i) of the PRWORA of 1996 to permit the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Federal Parent 
Locator Service (FPLS), to aid State CSE agencies in coordinating data 
matches with multi-state financial institutions.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
