Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Form OCSE-396, ``Child Support Enforcement Program Quarterly 
Financial Report'', Form OCSE-34, ``Child Support Enforcement Program 
Quarterly Collection Report''.
    OMB No.: 0970-0181.
    Description: Form OCSE-396 and Form OCSE-34 are financial reports 
submitted following the end of each fiscal quarter by grantees 
administering the Child Support Enforcement Program in accordance with 
plans approved under title IV-D of the Social Security Act. Submission 
of these forms enables grantees to meet their statutory and regulatory 
requirement to report program expenditures and child support 
collections, respectively, from the previous fiscal quarter.
    States use Form OCSE-396 to report quarterly expenditures made in 
the previous quarter and to estimate program expenditures to be made 
and the incentive payments to be earned in the upcoming quarter. The 
Administration for Children and Families provides Federal funding to 
States for the Child Support Enforcement Program at the rate of 66 
percent for all allowable and legitimate administrative costs of this 
program.
    Tribes use OMB Form SF-425 to report quarterly expenditures made in 
the previous quarter. Form SF-425 is not included as part of this 
comment request.
    As part of this request, minor changes are being proposed only in 
response to amendments to Federal regulations:
     45 CFR 304.25(b) was amended to extend the quarterly 
reporting deadline for both reports from ``30'' to ``45'' days after 
the end of each fiscal quarter.
     45 CFR part 95 was amended to require that all 
expenditures for a Statewide Child Support Enforcement System will now 
require an approved Advanced Planning Document (APD). Therefore, Line 6 
on Form OCSE-396, ``ADP Costs Without APD Required'' is being 
eliminated as no longer necessary.
    The necessary instructions are being amended in response to both 
changes.
    Respondents: 54 States (including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin 
Islands and the District of Columbia) for Forms OCSE-396 and OCSE-34 
plus approximately 60 Tribes for Form OCSE-34.
