Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: National Medical Support Notice--NPRM.
    OMB No.: 0970-0222.
    Description: The information collected by State IV-D Child Support 
Enforcement agencies is used to complete the National Medical Support 
Notice NMSN), which is sent to employers of employee/obligors and used 
as a means of enforcing the healthcare coverage provision in a child 
support order. Primarily, the information the State Child Support 
enforcement agencies use to complete the NMSN is information regarding 
appropriate persons, which is necessary for the enrollment of the child 
in employment-related health care coverage, such as the employee/
obligors name, address, and Social Security Number; the employer's name 
and address; the name and address of the alternate recipient (child); 
and the custodial parent's name and address. The employer forwards the 
second part of the NMSN to the group health plan administrator, which 
contains the same individual identifying information. The plan 
administrator requires this information to determine whether to enroll 
the alternate recipient in the group health plan. If necessary, the 
employer also initiates withholding from the employee's wages for the 
purpose of paying premiums to the group health plan for enrollment of 
the child.
    Respondents: State and Territory agencies administering the child 
Support Enforcement program.
