Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Provision of Services in Interstate Child Support.
    OMB No.: 0970-0085.
    Description: Pub. L. 104-193, The Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 amended 42 U.S.C. 666 
to require State Child Support Enforcement (CSE) programs to enact the 
Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) into State law by January 
1, 1998. To ensure standardization among States, section 311(b) of 
UIFSA requires the States to use standard interstate forms, as mandated 
by Federal law. 45 CFR 303.7 requires CSE programs to transmit child 
support case information on standard interstate forms when referring 
cases to other States for processing. The forms, which promote 
uniformity and standardization, are expiring and we are taking the 
opportunity to make minor revisions to them, to among other things, 
reflect that UIFSA is now the law for all 54 CSE programs.
    Respondents: States.
