Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Schedule UDC: ``Itemized Undistributed Collections''.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: Although state child support enforcement agencies 
successfully collect and distribute billions of dollars every fiscal 
year, a certain portion of the collections remain undistributed. State 
agencies have requested a methodology by which to differentiate and 
report to the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) on the nature 
of those collections. In some instances collections remain 
undistributed for a short time, pending the anticipated resolution of 
an assortment of administrative or legal processes, while in other 
instances collections remain undistributed for an indefinite time as a 
result of circumstances beyond the control of the state agency. This 
support schedule, which will be submitted quarterly as an attachment to 
Form OCSE-34A, the ``Quarterly Report of Collections,'' will enable 
each state to differentiate and itemize its undistributed collections 
by category and age.
    Respondents: State IV-D agencies administering the Child Support 
Enforcement Program under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
