Proposed Information Collection Activity; Interstate 
Administrative Subpoena and Notice of Lien (Office of Management and 
Budget OMB #: 0970-0152)

AGENCY: Office of Child Support Services, 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 60 days of publication. In compliance with 
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act 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#8be2e5ede4e8e4e7e7eee8ffe2e4e5cbeae8eda5e3e3f8a5ece4fd"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e28b8c848d818d8e8e8781968b8d8ca2838184cc8a8a91cc858d94">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. 
Identify all 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.
