of the Social Security Act
AGENCY: Office of Child Support Services, Administration for Children
and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) is requesting
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of revisions to the
State Plan for Child Support Collection and Establishment of Paternity
Under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act (State Plan; OMB # 0970-
0017). These revisions are necessary to align this collection with
updates resulting from a final rule: Employment and Training Services
for Noncustodial Parents in the Child Support Program which will
require states to amend State Plans if they elect to participate in
employment and training services for non-custodial parents in the child
support program.
DATES: Comments due January 30, 2025. OMB must decide 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 <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. 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 <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9af3f4fcf5f9f5f6f6fff9eef3f5f4dafbf9fcb4f2f2e9b4fdf5ec"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="274e49414844484b4b4244534e484967464441094f4f5409404851">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all emailed requests by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: On May 31, 2024, OCSS published an NPRM (89 Federal
Register (FR) 47109; Regulation Identification Number (RIN) 0970-AD00)
proposing to allow Federal financial participation (FFP) for certain
optional and nonduplicative employment and training services for
eligible noncustodial parents in the child support program. The
proposed rule will permit states, at their discretion, to use FFP to
provide any or all the following services: Job search assistance; job
readiness training; job development and job placement services; skills
assessments; job retention services; work supports; and occupational
training and other skills training directly related to employment.
On December 13, 2024, OCSS published the Employment and Training
Services for Noncustodial Parents in the Child Support Program final
rule (89 FR 100789; RIN 0970-AD00). This rule results in revisions to
this information collection, as states that elect to participate in
Employment and Training Services for Non-Custodial Parents in the Child
Support Program must submit a state plan amendment to OCSS. To account
for states potentially submitting revisions to their State Plans and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, we are
submitting the revised data collection to OMB for review and approval.
States can elect to participate in these services on page 2.12-15 of
the State Plan. OCSS is updating the burden estimates to account for
potential additional amendments as a result of this rule.
Additionally, the full State Plan has not historically been
submitted under this OMB number and this request adds the full document
to the materials for review and approval.
Respondents: State IV-D Agencies.
Annual Burden Estimates
We estimate states will take 3 hours to draft the required
information to amend their State Plan. We estimate about 33 states will
submit amendments.
