Abstract:
The Final Rule within 45 CFR Part 309, published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2004, contains a regulatory reporting requirement that in order to receive funding for a Tribal IV-D program, a tribe or tribal organization must submit a plan describing how the tribe or tribal organization meets or plans to meet the objectives of section 455(f) of the Social Security Act, including establishing paternity; establishing, modifying, and enforcing support orders; and locating noncustodial parents. The plan is required for all tribes requesting funding; however, once a tribe has met the requirements to operate a comprehensive program, a new plan is not required annually unless a tribe makes changes to its Title IV-D program. If a tribe or tribal organization intends to make any substantial or material changes, a Tribal IV-D plan amendment must be submitted for approval. Tribes and tribal organizations must have an approved plan and submit any required plan amendments to receive funding to operate a Tribal IV-D program. On April 21, 2023 the Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register for the Elimination of the Non-Federal Share (see 88 FR 24526). The Final Rule published on February 12, 2024 and as a result the requirements approved under this OMB number were updated through an emergency request. Specifically, OCSS updated with a new requirement for tribes and tribal organizations to provide that charging fees and recovering costs will not be permitted. Tribes and tribal organizations that charge fees and recover cost must submit a plan amendment demonstrating compliance with the proposed new requirement, in accordance with 45 CFR 309.35(d). Only three tribal child support programs report data on the collection of fees and recovered costs. ACF received emergency approval to update the requirements. This request is to extend approval without changes.
