    Title: Interstate Administrative Subpoena.
    OMB No.: 0970-0152.

[[Page 26053]]

    Description: Section 452(a)(11) of the Social Security Act requires 
the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to 
promulgate a form for administrative subpoenas to be used in State 
child support enforcement programs to collect information for use in 
the establishment, modification and enforcement of child support orders 
in interstate cases. Section 454(9)(E) of the Social Security Act 
requires each State to cooperate with any other State in using the 
federal form for issuance of administrative subpoenas in interstate 
child support cases. Tribal IV-D agencies are not required to use this 
form but may choose to do so. OMB approval of this form is expiring in 
February 2014 and the Administration for Children and Families is 
requesting an extension of this form.
    Respondents: State, local or Tribal agencies administering a child 
support enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security 
Act.
