and Delegations of Authority for the
Department of Health and Human

because the functions transferred to PSC

functions of the Office for Facilities
Management and Policy (OFMP) in Part

establishes a new major component,
within PSC, that combines OFMP’s
functions with building operations and
logistics/warehouse activities currently
being performed by components within
the PSC. The mission of this new
component will be to set building
management policy efficiently and
effectively. It will also offer building
and logistics operations on a fee-forservice basis to the Department and
other federal customers. On an
incumbent-only basis, the Deputy
Assistant Secretary (DAS) for OFMP
will continue to directly report to the
Assistant Secretary for Administration
(ASA). This notice also transfers the
budget and financial resources and
Department-wide multi-sector
workforce management activities
previously performed by the Office of
Business Management and
Transformation to the Program Support
Center. Finally, this notice also updates
information regarding the Office for
Security and Strategic Information’s
(OSSI’s) organizational structure, as
well as the new roles and

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects
Title: Child Support Enforcement
Program Expenditure Report (Form
OCSE–396A) and the Child Support
Enforcement Program Collection Report
(Form OCSE–34A).
OMB No.: 0970–0181.
Description: State and Tribal agencies
administering the Child Support
Enforcement Program under Title IV–D
of the Social Security Act are required
to provide information each fiscal
quarter to the Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE) concerning
administrative expenditures and the
receipt and disposition of child support
payments from non-custodial parents.
State title IV–D agencies report quarterly
expenditures and collections using
Forms OCSE–396A and OCSE–34A,
respectively. Tribal title IV–D agencies
report quarterly expenditures using
Form SF–269, as prescribed in program
regulations, and formerly reported
quarterly collections using only a
modified version of Form OCSE–34A.
The information collected on these
reporting forms is used to compute
quarterly grant awards to States and
Tribes, the annual incentive payments
to States and provides valuable
information on program finances. This
information is also included in a
published annual statistical and
financial report, available to the general
public.
In response to an earlier Federal
Register Notice (75 FR 10805, March 9,
2010), this agency received insufficient
comments to support any substantial
changes to these forms at this time.
However, we continue to discuss
improvements to these reporting forms
with State and Tribal grantees and
anticipate some minor revisions will be
proposed in the near future. These
revisions will be limited to any changes
that may be necessitated by the
expiration of program requirements
under the ‘‘American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ (ARRA) and
changes to reporting instructions that
will allow Tribal grantees to, at least,
use the same quarterly collection report
submitted by State grantees.
Respondents: State agencies
(including the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin
Islands) administering the Child
Support Enforcement Program.
