AGENCY: Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration for

ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a 3-year extension of the
Tribal Child Support Enforcement Direct Funding Requests (Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) #0970-0218, expiration March 31, 2023) with
revisions. We are proposing to provide an optional Table of Contents
and Cover Sheet for plan pages.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2b4448584e055f5942494a476b4a484d05434358054c445d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ddb2beaeb8f3a9afb4bfbcb19dbcbebbf3b5b5aef3bab2ab">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The final rule within 45 CFR part 309, published in
the Federal Register on March 30, 2004, contains a regulatory reporting
requirement that, in order to receive funding for a Tribal IV-D
program, a tribe or tribal organization must submit a plan describing
how the tribe or tribal organization meets or plans to meet the
objectives of section 455(f) of the Social Security Act, including
establishing paternity; establishing, modifying, and enforcing support
orders; and locating noncustodial parents. The plan is required for all
tribes requesting funding; however, once a tribe has met the
requirements to operate a comprehensive program, a new plan is not
required annually unless a tribe makes changes to its title IV-D
program. If a tribe or tribal organization intends to make any
substantial or material changes, a Tribal IV-D plan amendment must be
submitted for approval. Tribes and tribal organizations must have an
approved plan and submit any required plan amendments to receive
funding to operate a Tribal IV-D program.With this request to extend
approval of this information collection, OCSE is proposing a change to
the paperwork by providing optional plan pages. The optional plan pages
organize the Tribal IV-D plan, identify required attachments, and
streamline plan amendment submissions. Tribes and tribal organizations
who choose to participate will attest to complying with the regulatory
requirements in 45 CFR, Parts 309 and 310 and submit plan amendments
for changes to the required attachments identified in the Table of
Contents. The optional plan pages organize the Tribal IV-D plan,
identify required attachments, and streamline plan amendment
submissions.
Respondents: Tribes and tribal Organizations.
