    Title: OCSE-396A: Child Support Enforcement Program Expenditure

[[Page 40303]]

Report; OCSE-34A: Child Support Enforcement Program Collection Report.
    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 noncustodial 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.
    The Administration for Children and Families received several 
comments concerning these reporting forms in response to an earlier 
Federal Register notice (71 FR 70406, December 4, 2006). Many of these 
comments concerned amendments made to the statute governing this 
program by the ``Deficit Reduction Act of 2005'' (Pub. L. 109-171, 
February 8, 2006).
    As a result of these comments, ACF is proposing several revisions 
to these forms to improve data collection capabilities, add additional 
reporting requirements in compliance with the amended statute, 
consolidate or delete existing requirements to eliminate redundancy or 
unnecessary reporting.
    Specifically, the revised reporting documents eliminate the need to 
provide budget projections (previously included as Part 3 of Form OCSE-
396A), eliminate a separate reporting document (OCSE Schedule UDC, 
previously approved as OMB No. 0970-0268), with the collected 
information incorporated into Form OCSE-34A and add several data entry 
lines to accommodate changes in the statute and regulations.
    Respondents: State agencies administering the Child Support 
Enforcement Program.
