Description: The final rule within 45 CFR part 309, published in
the Federal Register on March 30, 2004, contains a regulatory reporting
requirement that, in order to receive funding for a Tribal IV-D program
a Tribe or Tribal organization must submit a plan describing how the
Tribe or Tribal organization meets or plans to meet the objectives of
section 455(f) of the Social Security Act, including establishing
paternity, establishing, modifying, and enforcing support orders, and
locating noncustodial parents. The plan is required for all Tribes
requesting funding; however, once a Tribe has met the requirements to
operate a comprehensive program, a new plan is not required annually
unless a Tribe makes changes to its title IV-D program. Tribes and
Tribal organizations must respond if they wish to operate a fully
funded program. In addition, any Tribe or Tribal organization
participating in the program will be required to submit form OCSE 34A.
This paperwork collection activity is set to expire in September, 2010.
