    Title: Financial Institution Data Match.
    OMB No. 0970-0196.
    Description: Section 466(a)(17) of the Social Security Act (the 
Act), requires states 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. Under 452(1) of the Act, financial institutions doing business 
in multiple states may comply by centrally matching through the Federal 
Parent Locator Service rather than matching in each state in which the 
financial institution conducts business.
    Respondents: Financial institutions doing business in two or more 
states.
