This multilateral Convention contains
groundbreaking provisions that, on a
worldwide scale, establish uniform,
simple, fast, and inexpensive
procedures for the processing of
international child support cases. Under
the Convention, U.S. states process
child support cases with other countries
that have ratified the Convention under
the requirements of the Convention and
Article 7 of the Uniform Interstate
Family Support Act (UIFSA 2008). In
order to comply with the Convention,
the U.S. implements the Convention’s
case processing forms.
State and Federal law require states to
use federally approved case processing
forms. Section 311(b) of UIFSA 2008,
which has been enacted by all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands, requires
states to use forms mandated by Federal
law. 45 CFR 303.7 also requires child
support programs to use federally
approved forms in intergovernmental
IV–D cases unless a country has
provided alternative forms as a part of
its chapter in a Caseworker’s Guide to
Processing Cases with Foreign
Reciprocating Countries.
Respondents: State agencies
administering a child support program
under title IV–D of the Social Security
Act.

and minor updates to the instructions.
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
Families is soliciting public comment
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@
acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies can
also be obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street
SW, 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: Tribes use Form ACF–
196T to report expenditures for the
Tribal TANF grant. Authority to collect
and report this information is found in
the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996,
Public Law 104–193. Tribal entities
with approved tribal plans for
implementation of the TANF program
are required under Section 412(h) of the
Social Security Act to report financial
data. Form ACF–196T provides for the
collection of data regarding federal
expenditures. Failure to collect this data
would seriously compromise ACF’s
ability to monitor expenditures. This
information is also used to estimate
outlays and may be used to prepare ACF
budget submissions to Congress.
Financial management of the program
would be seriously compromised if the
expenditure data were not collected. 45
CFR part 286 Subpart E requires the
strictest controls on funding
requirements, which necessitates review
of documentation in support of tribal
expenditures for reimbursement.
Comments received from previous
efforts to implement a similar Tribal
TANF Report Form ACF–196T were
used to guide ACF in the development
of the product presented with this
submittal.
Respondents: All approved Tribal
TANF Agencies.
