Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Federal Tax Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport 
Denial.
    OMB No.: 0970-0161.
    Description: The Federal Tax Offset, Administrative Offset, and 
Passport Denial programs collect past-due child support by intercepting 
certain federal payments, including federal tax refunds, of parents who 
have been ordered to pay child support and who are behind in paying the 
debt. The program is a cooperative effort among the Department of the 
Treasury's Financial Management Service, the federal Office of Child 
Support Enforcement (OCSE), and state child support enforcement (CSE) 
agencies. The Passport Denial program reports noncustodial parents who 
owe child support above a threshold to the Department of State, which 
will then deny passports to these individuals. On an ongoing basis, CSE 
agencies submit to OCSE the names, Social Security numbers, and the 
amount(s) of past-due child support of people who are delinquent in 
making child support payments.
    Respondents: State IV-D Agencies.
