D and non-IV–D cases that require 

income withholding, expires 5/31/2007, 

and the Administration for Children and 

Families is taking this opportunity to 

revise the form and its instructions. 

Overall, the language and format of 

the form have been edited, modified, 

and made easier to read and 

comprehend. The two-page form 

provides a detailed legal description of 

the established order, support amounts, 

and remittance information an employer 

needs to withhold payments from an 

obligor who owes child support. One of 

the new fields on the form is for the 

attachment of lump sum payments by 

employers. This addition allows the 

issuing entity to instruct the employer 

with respect to the attachment and 

remittance of lump sum payments. 

Fields for child’s name and date of birth 

have been moved to the front of the 

form, allowing the employer community 

to easily identify who the form is for 

and to avoid implementation of 

duplicate orders. Other changes that 

have enhanced the form include: A 

simplified title, clear identification of 

who is sending the form, and 

modifications to allow the employer to 

easily report employee terminations. 

Respondents: States, Territories, and 

Tribes.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Identifying Promising 

Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF) Diversion Practices. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Identifying 

Promising TANF Diversion Practices 

study is designed to understand States’

and local offices’ TANF diversion 

policies and practices. Since the passage 

of the Personal Responsibility and Work 

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, 

a majority of States have implemented 

formal diversion programs that provide 

assistance to families and/or impose 

program requirements on them when 

they apply for TANF in order to reduce 

the number of families who enroll in the 

program. These programs can send a 

strong signal to applicants that TANF is 

a work-oriented program and/or prevent 

applicants’ need to use time-limited 

welfare benefits. States have 

implemented three types of formal 

diversion programs: (1) Lump-sum 

payment programs targeted to workready applicants to help them through 

short-term crises; (2) ‘‘up-front’’

program requirements, such as 

mandatory participation in a program 

orientation or job search as a condition 

of eligibility; and (3) hybrid programs 

that provide short-term cash assistance 

and impose up-front requirements. The 

Administration for Children and 

Families has contracted with 

Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. to 

learn more about States’ implementation 

of these programs and to identify best 

practices. 

The study consists of a survey of 

States and in-depth visits to local sites. 

The survey of States will be 

administered in four stages: (1) A State 

survey to the TANF director in all 50 

States and the District of Columbia to 

obtain a profile of States’ diversion 

policies and practices; (2) a semistructured, one-hour followup 

telephone interview with the State 

TANF director or designee in an 

estimated 35 States with current 

diversion programs to gather additional 

information about these programs; (3) a 

semi-structured, 20-minute telephone 

interview with the State TANF director 

or designee in other States without 

current diversion programs to learn 

about future plans for diversion 

programs; and (4) a semi-structured, 

one-hour telephone interview with local 

TANF administrators from 30 selected 

local offices in States that provide local 

flexibility in administering diversion 

policies to learn about their practices. 

To further understand the local 

implementation of diversion policies 

and practices, the study includes site 

visits to two local offices in each of 

three States with promising diversion 

programs. In each office, interviews will 

be conducted with one TANF 

administrator, an average of two 

supervisors or mid-level management 

staff members, an average of three line 

staff members, and an average of two 

staff members from partner 

organizations. Site visitors also will 

observe selected activities, such as 

intake, orientation, and job search. 

Respondents: State TANF directors 

and administrators and local TANF 

administrators and line staff.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title XXVI 

of the Children’s Health Act of 2000, 

‘‘Screening for Heritable Disorders,’’

established a program to improve the 

ability of States to provide newborn and 

child screening for heritable disorders. 

Title XXVI enacts three sections of the 

Public Health Service (PHS) Act: 

Sections 1109, 1110, and 1111. The 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS) is directed under section 1111 of 

the PHS Act to establish an Advisory

Newborns and Children (Committee). 

HHS has expanded the Committee to

The Committee is established to 

advise and guide the Secretary regarding 

the most appropriate application of 

universal newborn screening tests, 

technologies, policies, guidelines and 

programs for effectively reducing 

morbidity and mortality in newborns 

and children having or at risk for 

heritable disorders. In addition, the 

Committee provides advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary 

concerning the grants and projects 

authorized under section 1109 and 

technical information to develop 

policies and priorities for this Program 

that will enhance the ability of the State 

and local health agencies to provide for 

newborn and child screening, 

counseling and health care services for 

newborns and children having or at risk 

for heritable disorders. 

Specifically, HRSA is requesting 

nominations for eight voting members to 

serve on the Committee. Members shall 

be selected from medical, technical, 

public health or scientific professionals
