Proposed Projects
Title: 45 CFR 303.7--Provision of Services in Interstate Child
Support Enforcement Cases; Standard Forms.
OMB No.: 0970-0085.
Description: Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, amended 42 U.S.C. 666 to
require State Child Support Enforcement (CSE) agencies to enact the
Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) into State law by January
1, 1998. Section 311(b) of UIFSA requires the States to use standard
Interstate forms, as mandated by Federal law. 45 CFR 303.7 also
requires CSE programs to transmit child support case information on
standard interstate forms when referring cases to other States for
processing. During the OMB clearance process, we are taking the
opportunity to make a minor revision to heading of Transmittals 1, 2,
and 3. We have added the option for States to list the name of the
country with which the petitioner or respondent is affiliated. The
instructions for each of the Transmittal forms have also been updated
to reflect this change.
Respondents: State agencies administering the Child Support
Enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
