Short Statement: All of the IWO instruments underwent revisions to change the “Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)” to “Office of Child Support Services (OCSS).” The IWO form instructions underwent minor edits to clarify the language and OCSS augmented the instructions to include a sample form to improve the respondent’s ability to properly complete the IWO Form. All of the minor edits constitute a program change but do not impact the burden. OCSS adjusted the respondent burden hour from the previous approval to reflect the increase in respondents using the IWO form and an increase in the number of responses from the employer respondents. There are more employer respondents using e-IWO over secure server connection since the previous approval request, which constitutes an adjustment; however, the e-IWO process decreases respondent’s time and costs, which also constitutes an adjustment since the previous approval.
