ABNs are usually given as hard copy
notices during in-person patient
encounters. In some cases, notification
may be done by telephone with a
follow-up notice mailed. Electronic
issuance of ABNs is permitted as long
as the beneficiary is offered the option
to receive a paper copy of the notice if
this is preferred. Regardless of the mode
of delivery, the beneficiary must receive
a copy of the signed ABN for his/her
own records. Incorporation of ABNs
into other automated business processes
is permitted, and some limited
flexibility in formatting the notice in
such cases is allowed, as discussed in
the form instructions. Notifiers may
choose to store the required signed copy
of the ABN electronically. Form

160.310 provides that a covered entity
must permit HHS, or its delegated
entity, access during normal business
hours to its facilities, books, records,

ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a three-year extension of the
form Income Withholding Order/Notice
for Support (IWO) (OMB #0970–0154,
expiration 8/31/2020). This request
includes minor revisions to the
approved forms.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the Administration for Children and

on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@

Washington, DC 20201, Attn: ACF
Reports Clearance Officer. All requests,
emailed or written, should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The IWO is the standard
form that must be used to order and
notify employers and income providers
to withhold child support payments
from an obligor’s income. It also
indicates where employers and other
income providers must remit the
payments and other information needed
to withhold correctly.
Child support agencies, courts,
private attorneys, custodial parties, and
others must use the IWO form to initiate
an income withholding order for
support and give notice of income
withholding. State child support
agencies are required to have automated
data processing systems containing
current order and case information.
State child support agencies providing
services to custodial and/or
noncustodial parties enter the terms of
a child support order established by a
tribunal into the state’s automated
system, which automatically populates
the order information into the IWO
form.
Employers and income providers also
use the form to respond to the order/
notice with termination or income
status information. Employers and other
income providers may choose to receive
the IWO form from child support
agencies on paper or electronically, and
may respond on paper or electronically
to notify the sender of termination of
employment or change in the income
status.
The information collection activities
pertaining to the IWO form are
authorized by 42 U.S.C. 666(a)(1), (a)(8),
and 666(b)(6), which require the use of
the IWO form to order income
withholding for all child support orders.
The IWO form and instructions
include these proposed changes:
1. Changed effective date from a
calendar date to a text entry. This
clarifies that IWOs are effective on
either the date of mailing, receipt, or
service to the employer.
2. Added a textbox in Remittance
Information regarding payments in
interstate cases.
3. Simplified and consolidated
wording of required advices to
employers and moved some of them
from Additional Information into
Remittance Information.
4. Moved a link to the Child Support
Portal within Additional Information to
