SUMMARY:

The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH), with minor changes, for an additional 3 years. The current OMB approval expires July 31, 2025.

DATES:

Comments due August 8, 2025. OMB must make a decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register . Therefore, a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES:

Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description: The NDNH is a federally mandated repository of employment and wage information. The information maintained in the NDNH is collected electronically and used for authorized purposes. State child support agencies use the NDNH information to locate a parent living or working in a different state and to take appropriate interstate actions to establish, modify, or enforce a child support order. Specific state and federal agencies also use NDNH information for authorized purposes to help administer certain programs, prevent overpayments, detect fraud, assess benefits, and recover funds, as provided under 42 U.S.C. 653(i)(1). OCSE changed the unconventional date format to a standard format in the NDNH record specifications and changed the Multistate Employer Registration Form to revise language, ( printed page 30234) update links, and remove the option to submit it by mail.

Respondents: Employers, State Child Support Agencies, and State Workforce Agencies.
