DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER
ACF-OCSS-DCL-23-15
DATE: December 18, 2023
TO: State IV-D Directors
SUBJECT: Open Comment Period — Interstate Administrative Subpoena and Notice of Lien
ATTACHMENTS: Administrative Subpoena (PDF) and Notice of Lien (PDF)
Dear Colleague:
The Administration for Children and Families is soliciting public comment on the administrative subpoena and notice of lien forms in accordance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. On December 13, 2023, ACF posted the 60-day notice for public comment in the Federal Register (Volume 88, Number 238, Page 86333) (PDF).
Section 452(a)(11) of the Social Security Act requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promulgate administrative subpoena and notice of lien forms for use in interstate cases. OCSS developed the forms, which were effective October 28, 1997. The current Administrative Subpoena and Notice of Lien expire on June 30, 2024.
The forms are being updated to reflect the name change of the federal program office from the Office of Child Support Enforcement to the Office of Child Support Services, as announced on June 5, 2023, in the Federal Register (Volume 88, Number 107, Page 36587) (PDF).
Please send comments to OCSS at OCSS.DPT@acf.hhs.gov and reference OMB 0970-0152. We will consider comments received within the 60-day comment period or by February 11, 2024.
Sincerely,
Tanguler Gray
Commissioner
Office of Child Support Services
