Activity; Intergovernmental Reference
Guide (IRG) (Office of Management and
Budget No.: 0970–0209)
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 Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Office of
Child Support Services (OCSS), is
requesting the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to approve the
Intergovernmental Reference Guide
SUMMARY:
(IRG), for an additional three years. The
IRG contains State and Tribal child
support information that helps child
support agencies (CSAs) administer
their respective programs. Minor
updates are proposed, as described
below. The current OMB approval
(OMB #: 0970–0209) expires on
February 28, 2025.
DATES: Comments due September 9,
2024. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the ACF is
soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The IRG is a centralized
and automated repository of State and
Tribal profiles that contains high-level
descriptions of each CSA program.
These profiles provide State, Tribal, and
foreign country CSAs with an effective
and efficient method for updating and
accessing information needed to process
intergovernmental child support cases.
Revisions are proposed as a result of
feedback from respondents suggesting
changes, recommendations from the
program team, or from the program team
workgroup of interested partners. The
workgroup is engaged to evaluate the
efficacy of the instruments. Specifically,
the following changes are proposed:
• Minor edits to change Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to
Office of Child Support Services
(OCSS).
• Edits to the State profile based on
recommendations that were received
but not implemented in 2022 when the
current version of the profile went
through the OMB approval process.
OCSS has an overview of those
recommendations and OCSS responses
available upon request.
• Edits to clarify the State profile
questions to make it easier for
respondents to understand and
complete them. Some of these edits
were based on the comments referenced
in the prior bullet and others based on
other feedback from program staff and
workgroup members.
• Addition of questions in the State
profile instrument that are designed to
help States establish health care
coverage and manage the financial
aspects of child support services. The
new questions pertain to policies and
procedures associated with new hire
reporting, income withholdings, lump
sum payments, medical support, and
State electronic funds transfers. The
addition of these questions slightly
increased the estimated time per
response from .3 hours to .5 hours.
Respondents: State and Tribal CSAs.
