Withholding for Support Order (OMB
No.: 0970–0154)
Office of Child Support
Services, Administration for Children
and Families, U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Child Support
Services (OCSS) (formerly the Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), is requesting the federal
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to extend approval of the Income
Withholding for Support Order (IWO),
with minor changes, for an additional
three years. The current OMB approval
expires September 30, 2023.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. You can also obtain
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Identify all emailed
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
44363
Description: The IWO is the required,
standard form used to order, and notify,
employers and income providers to
withhold child support payments from
an obligor’s income. It is also used to
notify employers and other income
providers where to remit the payments,
as well as other information needed to
correctly withhold payments so that
children and families receive the
support to which they are entitled. On
June 5, 2023, the Administration for
Children and Families published a
notice in the Federal Register (see 88 FR
36587) to announce a new official name
for the former Office of Child Support
Enforcement. As a result, all of the IWO
instruments underwent revisions to
change the ‘‘Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE)’’ to ‘‘Office of
Child Support Services (OCSS).’’ The
IWO form instructions underwent minor
edits to clarify the language and OCSS
augmented the instructions to include a
sample form to improve the
respondent’s ability to properly
complete the IWO Form. The burden
estimates changed to reflect current
estimates for the annual number of
respondents and responses.
Respondents: Courts, private
attorneys, custodial parties, or their
representatives, employers, and other
entities that provide income to
noncustodial parents

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a revised draft guidance for industry
entitled ‘‘Inborn Errors of Metabolism
That Use Dietary Management:
Considerations for Optimizing and
Standardizing Diet in Clinical Trials for
Drug Product Development.’’ This draft
guidance describes FDA’s current
recommendations for optimizing and
standardizing dietary management in
clinical trials for the development of
drug products intended to treat IEM
when dietary management is a key
component of patients’ metabolic
control. Optimizing and standardizing
dietary management in these patients
before they enter into clinical trials and
during clinical trials is essential to
providing an accurate evaluation of the
efficacy of new drug products.
This draft guidance revises the draft
guidance of the same name issued on
July 24, 2018 (83 FR 35006). FDA
considered comments received on the
draft guidance and is reissuing the
guidance in draft form. Revisions from
the previous draft include: (1)
clarification that drug products,
including both small molecules and
biological products, should be studied
in conjunction with dietary
management for conditions where
dietary management is the current
standard of clinical care; (2) clarification
that metabolic control may be evaluated
by biochemical analytes and clinical
assessment as substantiated by current
clinical standards of care; (3)
clarification that differences in baseline
dietary management standards among
patients from different countries should
be considered and clearly stated in the
protocol; and (4) clarification that the
E:\FR\FM\12JYN1.SGM
12JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 12, 2023 / Notices
most informative design is a
randomized, double-blind clinical trial
that includes a concurrent control group
(approved drug or placebo).
This draft guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent the current thinking of FDA
on ‘‘Inborn Errors of Metabolism That
Use Dietary Management:
Considerations for Optimizing and
Standardizing Diet in Clinical Trials for
Drug Product Development.’’ It does not
establish any rights for any person and
is not binding on FDA or the public.
You can use an alternative approach if
it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.
II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
While this guidance contains no
collection of information, it does refer to
previously approved FDA collections of
information. Therefore, clearance by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3521) is not required for this guidance.
The previously approved collections of
information are subject to review by
OMB under the PRA. The collections of
information in 21 CFR part 312 have
been approved under OMB Control No.
0910–0014.
