Title: Intergovernmental Reference Guide (IRG).
Description: The Intergovernmental Reference Guide (IRG) is a
centralized and automated repository of state and tribal profiles,
which contains high-level descriptions of each state and tribal child

for collecting child and spousal support; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(f), which
requires states to enact the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act; (3)
45 CFR 301.1, which defines an intergovernmental case to include cases
between states and tribes; (4) 45 CFR 309.120, which requires a tribal
child support program to include intergovernmental procedures in its
tribal IV-D plan; and (5) 45 CFR 303.7, which requires state child
support
