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

Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) into State law by January

mandated by Federal law. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires child support

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.
