Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Computerized Support Enforcement Systems.
    OMB No.: 0980-0271.
    Description: The information being collected is mandated by section 
454(16) of the Social Security Act (the Act), which provides for the 
establishment and operation by the state agency, in accordance with an 
initial and annually updated Advance Planning Document (APD) approved 
under section 452(d) of the Act, of a statewide system meeting the 
requirements of section 454A of the Act. In addition, 454A(e)(1) 
requires that states create a State Case Registry (SCR) within their 
statewide automated child support systems to include information on IV-
D cases and non-IV-D orders established or modified in the state on or 
after October 1, 1998. Section 454A(e)(5) of the Act requires states to 
regularly update their cases in the SCR.
    The data being collected for the ADP are a combination of 
narratives, budgets and schedules, which are used to provide funding 
approvals on an annual basis and to monitor and oversee system 
development. Child support has separate regulations under 45 CFR 307.15 
related to submittal penalties for non-compliance with the statutory 
deadline of October 1, 2000. This information collection reflects the 
fact that 50 states and territories are now certified under the 
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 
(PRWORA) leaving only four states that are not yet PRWORA systems 
certified, including one state that has not submitted an implementation 
APD for compliance with PRWORA automation. States and territories that 
opted to keep their Annual Planning Documents for child support systems 
are covered under a separate information collection, OMB No. 0992-0005, 
for 45 CFR part 95 subpart F.
    The data being collected for the State Case Registry is used to 
transmit mandatory data elements to the Federal Case Registry (FCR) 
where it is used for matching against other data bases for the purposes 
of location of individuals, assets, employment and other child support 
related activities.
    Respondents: The respondents are 54 state and territorial child 
support agencies.
