Submission for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; 
Interstate Administrative Subpoena and Notice of Lien (Office of 
Management and Budget OMB #: 0970-0152)

AGENCY: Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is 
requesting a 3-year extension with proposed revisions to the Interstate 
Administrative Subpoena and Notice of Lien forms (Office of Management 
and Budget #0970-0152, expiration 6/30/2024). The forms are updated to 
reflect the name change of the Federal child support program office 
from the Office of Child Support Enforcement to the Office of Child 
Support Services.

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 should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can 
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by 
emailing [email protected]. Identify all emailed requests by 
the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The Administrative Subpoena is used by State child 
support agencies to obtain income and other financial information 
regarding noncustodial parents for purposes of establishing, enforcing, 
and modifying child support orders. The Notice of Lien imposes liens in 
cases with overdue support and allows a State child support 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 agencies 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 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 program under title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
