Proposed Projects

    Title: Tribal Child Support Enforcement Direct Funding Request: 45 
CFR 309--Plan.
    OMB No.: 0970-0218.
    Description: The final rule within 45 CFR part 309, published in 
the Federal Register on March 30, 2004, contains a regulatory reporting 
requirement that, in order to receive funding for a Tribal IV-D program 
a Tribe or Tribal organization must submit a plan describing how the 
Tribe or Tribal organization meets or plans to meet the objectives of 
section 455(f) of the Social Security Act, including establishing 
paternity, establishing, modifying, and enforcing support orders, and 
locating noncustodial parents. The plan is required for all Tribes 
requesting funding; however, once a Tribe has met the requirements to 
operate a comprehensive program, a new plan is not required annually 
unless a Tribe makes changes to its title IV-D program. Tribes and 
Tribal organizations must respond if they wish to operate a fully 
funded program. This paperwork collection activity is set to expire in 
December 31, 2016.
    Respondents: Tribes and Tribal Organizations.
