07-5487. Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Title: OCSE-100, State Plan Preprint Page; OCSE-21-U4, State Plan Transmittal.

OMB No.: 0970-0017.

Description: Section 7310 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, titled, Mandatory Fee for Successful Child Support Collection for a Family That Has Never Received TANF, amends Section 454(6) of the Social Security Act (the Act) such that a State child support plan must provide for the imposition of an annual fee of $25 in each case in which an individual has never received assistance under a State program funded under title IV-A of the Act and for whom the State has collected at least $500 of support. States will need to submit the new State plan preprint page, i.e., page 2.5-4, as well as a transmittal for the preprint page, in order to have an approved State plan.

The 60-day notice for this requirement was originally published in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on January 24, 2007 (72 FR 3093); however, because of the October 1, 2006, effective date for the mandate that States implement and collect a $25 annual fee in specified cases, the second notice for the State plan preprint page must be published prior to the publication of the final rule.

Respondents: State IV-D agencies.
