Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request 
Proposed Projects:

    Title: Computerized Support Enforcement Systems.
    OMB No. 0980-0271.
    Description: The information being collected is mandated by Section 
454(16) which provides for the establishment and operation by the State 
agency, in accordance with an initial and annually updated advance 
planning document approved under section 452(d) of this state, of a 
statewide system meeting the requirements of section 454A. 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) requires 
States to regularly update their cases in the SCR.
    The data being collected for the Advance Planning Document is a 
combination of narrative, budget and schedules which are used to 
provide funding approvals on a annual basis and to monitor and oversee 
system development.
    The data being collected for the State Case Registry is used to 
transmit mandatory data elements to the Federal Case Registry 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.
