Abstract: The information will be used for monitoring and evaluating tribal child support enforcement programs.

Emergency Justfication: The, ACF, Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) is requesting to use emergency procedures to extend the use of the OCSE-75 that expired July 31, 2013 for 180 days, until January 27, 2014. A revised OCSE-75 was recently approved on 8/19/2013, with an expiration date of 8/31/2016. This new version of the form has significant changes. There is not sufficient time for the affected tribes to make the significant changes needed to use this revised form to report FY 2013 data. Tribes can begin submitting their FY2013 reports anytime after September 30, 2013, but no later than 12-29-2013. OCSE did not anticipate that it would take so long to revise the form based on tribal meetings and consultation and now there is not sufficient time for the tribes to reprogram their systems to capture these data for FY 2013 which ends September 30, 2013. Therefore, OCSE needs to continue the use of the previously approved form instead of the recently approved revised form. In 2012, OCSE met with Tribal IV-D Directors in March, June, and July to discuss proposed changes to the OCSE-75 form and instructions. In October 2012, OCSE initiated a written consultation with Tribal IV-D Leaders followed by a second written consultation in January 2013 to discuss comments initially received. In April 2013, there were two conference calls held with Tribal IV-D Directors to finalize proposed changes to the OCCSE-75 form and instructions. OCSE spent over a year working with the tribes to finalize the changes to the reporting form prior to beginning the formal PRA process. Attached are communication documents with the tribes regarding these discussions. The changes to the form involve reporting total cases and children open at any time during the fiscal year. The current form only requires tribes to report cases and children open as of September 30. It will take time for tribes to change their systems to report these new data. The new form also requires changes to the way that paternities established and collections are reported. In addition, several new reporting lines were added to the report that tribes felt would better reflect their performance. It will take time for tribes to change their systems to capture this additional information. Based on the set of circumstances described above, ACF requests approval to use emergency processing procedures to continue using the previously approved form due to an unanticipated event (CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(ii)). Approval is requested by September 30, 2013.
