Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting

Requirements Under Emergency

Review by the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB)

Title: Request for Emergency OMB

Approval of Information Collection

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

OMB No.: New.

Description: The Office of Child

Support Enforcement (OCSE) plans to

conduct a pilot project through the

Federal Parent Locator Services (FPLS)
33752 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 126 / Friday, June 28, 1996 / Notices

which would build a temporary

database of information collected by

States on newly hired employees for

matching activities with cases in locate

status within the FPLS and cases

certified for Federal tax refund offset.

This collection responds to President

Clinton’s June 18, 1996, executive

action on welfare reform announcing a

new pilot program that will help track

those parents who cross state lines to

avoid their child support obligation.

Under the pilot, States which currently

have new hire reporting programs in

place would voluntarily send their

existing record data via computer tape,

formatted according to either the State’s

or Administration for Children and

Families’s (ACF) specifications, to the

Federal Parent Locate Service within

OCSE. These records will be stored in

a temporary database to be matched

against case data in the FPLS, and the

Tax Refund Offset System (TROS).

When a match is made, the ACF Office

will contact the absent parent’s current

state of residence where a match was

found so that the state child support

agency can take appropriate action. In

turn, States will be asked to submit

periodic tracking and reporting

information on the success of the pilot

matching.

Respondents: State governments.

Explanation

• The specific number of estimated

annual burden hours per State will vary

depending on individual circumstances,

including systems development effort

and number of records.

• Burden hours for employees and

this request. Most of the information has

been collected from employees and

employers under the IRS new hire,

Form W–4 (OMB Control No. 1545–

0010), and/or comparable State forms.

In addition, ACF will not collect any

more information from employers or

employees under this pilot project than

what States have already collected.

Additional Information

ACF is requesting that OMB grant a 90

day approval for this information

collection under procedures for

emergency processing by July 11, 1996.

A copy of this information collection,

documentation, may be obtained by
