Because the revisions being made to this IC stem from statute, not regulation, the changes being made to this form should not be classified as "associated with rule." Accordingly, approval is given through this ICR for only those reporting requirements that stem from statute. ACF shall re-submit this ICR for those changes pertaining to rulemaking at the final rule stage. Changes that stem from rulemaking are not approved at this time.

The State plan preprint and amendments serve as a contract with OCSE in outlining the activities the state will perform as required by law in order for states to receive federal funds to meet the costs of these activities. The affected public is comprised of states receiving funds. We are asking for Approval to create one new state plan preprint page that reflects the new federal requirements as outlined in the Deficit reduction Act of 2005, Public Law 109-171.
This information collection is a result of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Section 7310 of the DRA, entitled Mandatory Fee for Successful Child Support collection for a Family that has Never Received TANF, amends 454(6) of the Social Security Act such that a State child support plan must provide for the imposition of an annual fee of $25 in each case in which an individual has never received assistance under a State program funded under title IV-A of the Act and for whom the State has collected at least $500 of support. While this fee will be reported on the currently approved form OCSE-396A (OMB 0970-0181), and no revisions are necessary to the existing form, States must track the $25 fee.
Respondents for this collection are State IV-D agencies. As Stated above, the collection is not in reporting the fee, but in tracking the fee. States currently track the collections of fees using automated systems. The tracking of this fee will not require changes to automated systems. Therefore, the paperwork impact on states is minimal.
The increase in burden hours is the direct result of changes made to title IV-D of the Social Security Act by 310 of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005, Public Law 109-171. We are requesting approval of two new state plan preprint pages: 2.2, Collection and Distribution of Support payments and 2.5-4, Services to Individuals. These pages have been created in response to the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005, Public Law 109 -171. Section 7301(b) of the DRA, entitled Assignment and Distribution of Child Support, amends requirements for distribution of support payments to allow states to opt to increase child support payments to families and simplify child support distribution rules.
Section 7310 of the DRA, entitled Mandatory Fee for Successful child Support Collection for a Family that has never received TANF, amends 454(6) of the Act such that a state child support plan must provide for the imposition of an annual fee of $25 in each case in which an individual has never received assistance under a State program funded under title IV-A of the Act and for whom the State has collected at least $500 of support. State will need to submit a new state plan preprint page 2.5-4 and a transmittal in order to have an approved state plan.
