Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Intergovernmental Reference Guide (IRG).
    OMB No.: 0970-0209.
    Description: The Intergovernmental Reference Guide (IRG) is a 
centralized and automated repository of state and tribal profiles, 
which contains high-level descriptions of each state and the tribal 
child support enforcement (CSE) program. These profiles provide state 
and tribal CSE agencies, and foreign countries with an effective and 
efficient method for updating and accessing information needed to 
process intergovernmental child support cases.
    The IRG information collection activities are authorized by: (1) 42 
U.S.C. 652(a)(7), which requires the federal Office of Child Support 
Enforcement (OCSE) to provide technical assistance to state child 
support enforcement agencies to help them establish effective systems 
for collecting child and spousal support; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(f), which 
requires states to enact the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act; (3) 
45CFR 301.1, which defines an intergovernmental case to include cases 
between states and tribes; (4) 45 CFR309.120, which requires a tribal 
child support program to include intergovernmental procedures in its 
tribal IV-D plan; and (5) 45 CFR 303.7, which requires state child 
support agencies to provide services in intergovernmental cases.
    Respondents: All state and tribal CSE agencies.
