Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: OCSE-396A: Child Support Enforcement Program Expenditure
Report; OCSE-34A: Child Support Enforcement Program Collection Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0181.
Description: State and Tribal agencies administering the Child
Support Enforcement Program under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act
are required to provide information each fiscal quarter to the Office
of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) concerning administrative
expenditures and the receipt and disposition of child support payments
from non-custodial parents. State title IV-D agencies report quarterly
expenditures and collections using Forms OCSE-396A and OCSE-34A,
respectively. Tribal title IV-D agencies report quarterly expenditures
using Form SF-269, as prescribed in program regulations, and formerly
reported quarterly collections using only a modified version of Form
OCSE-34A. The information collected on these reporting forms is used to
compute quarterly grant awards to States and Tribes, the annual
incentive payments to States and provides valuable information on
program finances. This information is also included in a published
annual statistical and financial report, available to the general
public.
In response to an earlier Federal Register Notice (75 FR 10805,
March 9, 2010), this agency received insufficient comments to support
any substantial changes to these forms at this time. However, we
continue to discuss improvements to these reporting forms with State
and Tribal grantees and anticipate some minor revisions will be
proposed in the near future. These revisions will be limited to any
changes that may be necessitated by the expiration of program
requirements under the ``American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009'' (ARRA) and changes to reporting instructions that will allow
Tribal grantees to, at least, use the same quarterly collection report
submitted by State grantees.
Respondents: State agencies administering the Child Support
Enforcement Program.
