Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Provisions of Services in Interstate Child Support.
    Enforcement: Standard Forms.
    OMB No.: 0970-0085.
    Description: Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and 
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, amended 42 U.S.C. 666 to 
require State and Territory Child Support Enforcement (CSE) IV-D 
agencies to enact the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 
into State and Territory law by January 1, 1998. Section 311(b) of 
UIFSA requires States and Territories to use standard interstate forms. 
45 CFR 303.7 also requires CSE IV-D agencies to transmit child support 
case information on standard interstate forms when referring cases to 
other States and Territories for processing. During the OMB clearance 
process, we are taking the opportunity to make revisions that have been 
requested by the State.
    Overall, the language, format and instructions have been 
standardized across the forms. The title of the forms has been changed 
to ``Intergovernmental'' to reflect their use by States, Tribes, and 
foreign countries. For clarity in the Transmittal Initial Request we 
added a field for Born Out of Wedlock and Date Paternity Established. 
Instructions for the new fields have been added. Fields to identify 
Tribal affiliation have been added to all three Transmittals as well as 
instructions for this field. The instructions have been clarified by 
highlighting policy information that was included with the instructions 
so it is distinct and by making the instructions that are common across 
the forms consistent. Minor changes to common labels across the 
instructions have been made for consistency, e.g., Social Security No. 
and SSN to Social Security Number, email and E-mail to E-Mail, fax and 
Fax to FAX. These changes are in response to requests and comments made 
by States.
    Respondents: State and Territory agencies administering the Child 
Support Enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security 
Act.
