Abstract:
Public Law 104-193, the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996," requires the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to operate a National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) to improve the ability of state child support enforcement agencies to locate noncustodial parents and collect child support across state lines. The law requires employers to report newly hired employees to states. States are then required to periodically transmit new hire data received from employers to the NDNH, and to the NDNH, and to transmit wage and unemployment compensation...

Short Statement:
The reported burden hours are less in this submission for three reasons: 1) OCSE had inaccurately included Federal agency burden hours in the previous submission. 2) The burden time for a manual report by an employer was re-determined and reduced from 2.5 minutes to 1.5 minutes based on experiments of sending a one-page fax or mailing one piece of paper. 3) The burden time for data entry clerks at the SDNH was re-determined and reduced from four minutes to one minute based on information received from States on actual time that it takes a clerk to enter a New Hire Report. 4) The methodology for computing cost was incorrect for the previous submission.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
