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–396 and OCSE–34, respectively. Tribal title IV–D agencies report quarterly expenditures using Form SF–425, as prescribed in program regulations, and formerly reported quarterly collections using only a modified version of Form OCSE–34. The information collected on these reporting forms is used to compute quarterly grant awards to States, the annual incentive payments to States, and provides valuable information on program finances of States and Tribes. The collected 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 (77 FR 72352 December, 2012), this agency received comments to support the minor changes and revisions to these forms at this time. As we continued to discuss improvements to these reporting forms with State and Tribal grantees we list a few minor revisions that have been incorporated to facilitate grant award operations and grantee financial reporting. These revisions were limited to any changes that allow Tribal grantees to, at least, use the same quarterly collection report submitted by State grantees. Additionally, further clarification was provided to reduce confusion over the 1 Average burden hours per response 60 Total burden hours 3,120 inclusion of the Federal share of funding in computations of claims and to standardize treatment of claims. Finally, there were minor revisions in the title of the forms by reverting to the original designation as Form OCSE–396 and Form OCSE–34 and minor changes to the existing wording to improve clarity and accuracy. One respondent was concerned with the Tribal and State governments using the same OCSE–34 Form, which was perceived to lead to an added burden and confusion about the submission of specific data elements. Our sense is that the form is developed in a sufficiently clear manner to inform respondents on the data elements required by each type of grantee. Furthermore, we consistently provide outreach and technical assistance to all grantees to ensure that reporting burdens are clear and minimized. A few respondents provided technical and clerical edits to the OCSE–396 Form to increase accuracy and clarity. We have incorporated many of the requested edits and appreciate the detailed and thoughtful comments. One respondent was concerned that the instructions to the OCSE–396 may be creating an additional burden by maintaining a 5 percent variance threshold (an increase or decease in any data element of Part 1 compared to that same data element for the previous quarter). While we are understanding of this concern our position is that the form will be used nationally and raising the variance threshold above 5 percent is not justified at this time.

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Title: Child Support Enforcement Program Expenditure Report (Form
OCSE-396) and the Child Support Enforcement Program Collection Report
(Form OCSE-34).
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-396 and OCSE-34,
respectively. Tribal title IV-D agencies report quarterly expenditures
using Form SF-425, as prescribed in program regulations, and formerly
reported quarterly collections using only a modified version of Form
OCSE-34. The information collected on these reporting forms is used to
compute quarterly grant awards to States, the annual incentive payments
to States, and provides valuable information on program finances of
States and Tribes. The collected 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 (77 FR 72352
December, 2012), this agency received comments to support the minor
changes and revisions to these forms at this time. As we continued to
discuss improvements to these reporting forms with State and Tribal
grantees we list a few minor revisions that have been incorporated to
facilitate grant award operations and grantee financial reporting.
These revisions were limited to any changes that allow Tribal grantees
to, at least, use the same quarterly collection report submitted by
State grantees. Additionally, further clarification was provided to
reduce confusion over the inclusion of the Federal share of funding in
computations of claims and to standardize treatment of claims. Finally,
there were minor revisions in the title of the forms by reverting to
the original designation as Form OCSE-396 and Form OCSE-34 and minor
changes to the existing wording to improve clarity and accuracy.
One respondent was concerned with the Tribal and State governments
using the same OCSE-34 Form, which was perceived to lead to an added
burden and confusion about the submission of specific data elements.
Our sense is that the form is developed in a sufficiently clear manner
to inform respondents on the data elements required by each type of
grantee. Furthermore, we consistently provide outreach and technical
assistance to all grantees to ensure that reporting burdens are clear
and minimized.
A few respondents provided technical and clerical edits to the
OCSE-396 Form to increase accuracy and clarity. We have incorporated
many of the requested edits and appreciate the detailed and thoughtful
comments.
One respondent was concerned that the instructions to the OCSE-396
may be creating an additional burden by maintaining a 5 percent
variance threshold (an increase or decease in any data element of Part
1 compared to that same data element for the previous quarter). While
we are understanding of this concern our position is that the form will
be used nationally and raising the variance threshold above 5 percent
is not justified at this time.
Respondents: State and Tribal agencies (including New York, Texas,
Washington, Puyallup Tribe, and Port Gamble S'klallam Tribe)
administering a Child Support Enforcement Program.
