-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is 
requesting a 3-year extension of the Interstate Administrative Subpoena 
and Notice of Interstate Lien forms (OMB #0970-0152, expiration 7/31/
2021). There are no changes requested to these forms.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a 
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days 
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, 
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it 
within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed

information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Description: The Administrative Subpoena is used by State IV-D 
agencies to obtain income and other financial information regarding 
noncustodial parents for purposes of establishing, enforcing, and 
modifying child support orders. The Notice of Interstate Lien imposes 
liens in cases with overdue support and allows a State IV-D agency to 
file liens across state lines, when it is more efficient than involving 
the other state's IV-D agency. Section 452 (a) (11) of the Social 
Security Act requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and 
Human Services to promulgate forms for administrative subpoenas and 
imposition of liens used by state child support enforcement (Title IV-
D) agencies in interstate cases. Section 454(9)(E) of the Social 
Security Act

[[Page 20701]]

requires each state to cooperate with any other state in using the 
federal forms for issuance of administrative subpoenas and imposition 
of liens in interstate child support cases.
    Respondents: State, local, or tribal agencies administering a child 
support enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security 
Act.
