support enforcement agencies to help

Uniform Interstate Family Support Act; (3) 45 CFR 301.1, which defines 
an intergovernmental case to include cases between states and tribes; 
(4) 45 CFR 309.120, which requires a tribal child support program to 
include intergovernmental procedures in its tribal IV-D plan; and (5) 
45 CFR 303.7, which requires state child support agencies to provide 
services in intergovernmental cases.
    Respondents: All state and tribal CSE agencies.
