Abstract: Section 452(a)(11) of the Social Security Act requires the Secretary of HHS to promulgate a form for administrative subpoenas to be used by State child support enforcement programs to collect information for use in the establishment, modification and enforcement of child support orders in interstate cases. Section 454(9)(E) of the Act requires each State to cooperate with any other State in using the Federal form for issuance of administrative subpoenas in interstate child support cases. Tribes are not required to use this form, but may chose to do so.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The changes are primarily due to an adjustment in the child support caseload rather than due to a change in the information collection itself. The adjustment in burden for the Administrative Subpoena is due to a decrease in the number of Federal Parent Locator Service locate requests which resulted in a decrease in the number of forms a State may use. The adjustment in burden for the Notice of Lien form is due to a small increase in the number of cases with orders being established. Since both forms are mandated under section 454(9)(E) of the Social Security Act and processed within the same PRA time frames, OCSE is submitting these forms in one PRA package.
