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.
