Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: State Plan for Child Support Under Title IV-D of the Social 
Security Act (OCSE-100 and OCSE-21-U4).
    OMB No.: 0970-0017.
    Description: The State plan serves as a contract between the Office 
of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) and State IV-D agencies in 
outlining the activities the State will perform as required by law in 
order for States to receive Federal funds for child support 
enforcement. The information collected on the State plan pages is 
necessary to enable OCSE to determine whether each State has a IV-D 
State plan that meets the requirements in title IV-D of the Social 
Security Act (the Act) and implementing regulations. The State plan 
preprint gives each State a convenient method for developing a 
statement to be submitted to OCSE for approval describing the nature 
and scope of its program and giving assurances that the program will be 
administered in conformity with the requirements in title IV-D of the 
Act and the implementing regulations at 45 CFR chapter III. Once 
received, the Federal office will review the State plan to ensure its 
compliance with regulations.
    Respondents: State IV-D Agencies.
