Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: 45 CFR 303.7--Provision of Services in Intergovernmental IV-
D; Federally Approved Forms.
OMB No.: 0970-0085.
Description: The Intergovernmental forms were initially approved by
OMB in 1988; 45 CFR 303.7 requires child support programs to use the
OMB federally-approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D cases unless a
country has provided alternative forms as a part of its chapter in a
Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Foreign Reciprocating
Countries. Additionally, Public Law (Pub. L.) 113-183, the Preventing
Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014 amended the
Social Security Act to require U.S. states, the District of Columbia,
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to enact any amendments
to UIFSA ``officially adopted as of September 30, 2008 by the National
Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws'' (UIFSA 2008).
Section 311(b) of UIFSA 2008 requires the States and jurisdictions to
use forms mandated by Federal law.
The current intergovernmental forms will expire in February 2017.
The revised forms included in this submission to OMB incorporate many
of the revisions requested by commenters during the 60-day comment
period, which started August 4, 2015 (Federal Register, Volume 80,
Number 149, page 46286).
Respondents: State, local, or Tribal agencies administering a child
support enforcement program under title IV-D of the Social Security
Act.
