    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 and imposition of liens 
used by State child support enforcement (Title IV-D) agencies. The 
Interstate Administrative Subpoena is used to collect information for 
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 and imposition of 
liens in interstate child support cases. Tribal IV-D agencies are not 
required to use this form but may choose to do so.
    Respondents: State, local or Tribal agencies administering a child 
support enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security 
Act.
