    Title: Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support.
    OMB No.: 0970-0154.
    Description: Pub. L. 104-193, The Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, Section 324--Use of 
Forms in Interstate Enforcement requires the Federal Office of Child 
Support Enforcement (CSE) agencies and courts/tribunals must use to 
collect child support payments from an obligor's employer.
    The form, which promotes standardization expires 12/31/2000 and we 
are taking this opportunity to make minor revised to reflect the 
Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) and the mandate to use 
for IV-D and non IV-D direct withholding cases. The 2-page form 
provides a detailed legal description of the established order, support 
amounts, and remittance information an employer needs to withhold 
payments from an obligor who owes child support.
    Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
