Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: OCSE-369A: Financial Report; and OCSE-34A: Quarterly Report 
of Collections.
    OMB No.: 0970-0181.
    Description: Each State agency administering the Child Support 
Enforcement Program under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act is 
required to provide information to the Office of Child Support 
Enforcement concerning its administrative expenditures and its receipt 
and disposition of child support payments from non-custodial parents. 
These quarterly reporting forms enable each State to provide that 
information, which is used to compute both the quarterly grants awarded 
to each State and the annual incentive payments earned by each State. 
This information is also included in a published annual statistical and 
financial report, available to the general public.
    Comments sent to the Office of Child Support Enforcement, both 
directly and in response to an earlier Federal Register Notice (67 FR 
39727, et seq.), provided many useful recommendations to update and 
correct these financial reporting forms. However, several comments 
strongly indicated that State agencies would have inadequate time to 
incorporate these revisions in time to meet the reporting requirements 
for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2002. In addition, legislation 
has been introduced in Congress that, if enacted, may require 
additional revisions to these forms.
    For these reasons, we have decided to request that the expiration 
date of the existing forms be extended, without change, through 
September 30, 2004.
    Respondents: State agencies administering the Child Support 
Enforcement Program.
