    Title: 45 CFR 303.7--Provision of Services in Intergovernmental IV-
D; Federally Approved 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 Child Support Enforcement (CSE) agencies to enact the 
Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) into State law by January 
1, 1998. Section 311(b) of UIFSA requires the States to use forms 
mandated by Federal law. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires child support 
programs to use federally-approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D 
cases unless a country has provided alternative forms as a part of its 
chapter in a Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Foreign 
Reciprocating Countries.
    Respondents: State agencies administering a child support program 
under title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
