Abstract: 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.
