Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) helps state child support agencies (CSA) develop, manage, and operate their programs effectively according to federal law. OCSE operates the Federal Collections Enforcement (FCE) program, which provides limited enforcement services that facilitate collecting past-due child and spousal support. This information collection ensures continued compliance with federal law that requires and governs the Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial programs. The Federal Tax Refund Offset and Administrative Offset programs are conducted by OCSE and the Department of the Treasury’s (U.S. Treasury) Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). The Passport Denial Program is conducted by OCSE and the U.S. Department of State (DOS). The information collection activities are authorized as follows: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulation requires state CSAs to notify OCSE of any deletion of or change in the debt submitted for federal tax refund offset. U.S. Treasury regulations also require states to notify OCSE of any decrease in or elimination of an amount referred for collection by federal income tax refund offset and by administrative offset within timeframes established by OCSE. 45 CFR 303.72(d)(2); 31 CFR 285.1(g); and 31 CFR 285.3(c)(5). The Federal Tax Refund Offset Program requires state CSAs to submit past-due support case information that meets specific criteria to offset a federal tax refund of a noncustodial parent owing past-due support. 42 U.S.C. §§ 652(b) and 664; 26 U.S.C. § 6402(c); 45 CFR 302.60 and 303.72. The Administrative Offset Program requires state CSAs to submit past-due support case information that meets specific criteria to withhold federal payments, other than federal tax refunds, to a noncustodial parent who owes past-due support. State participation in the Administrative Offset Program is optional, but states opting to participate must comply with federal requirements, including submitting the information required for the proposed collection. 31 U.S.C. § 3716(h); the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134, April 26, 1996); 31 CFR 285.1 and 285.3. The Passport Denial Program requires state CSAs to submit to DOS past-due support case information that meets specific criteria for the denial, revocation, restriction, or limitation of a passport held by a noncustodial parent who owes past-due support. 42 U.S.C. §§ 654(31) and 652(k); 22 CFR 51.60. State CSAs must submit the Annual Certification Letter to certify that each case submitted to OCSE for the Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial programs meets federal requirements. 42 U.S.C. § 664; 31 CFR 285.1 and 285.3; 42 U.S.C. § 654(31). OCSE made minor formatting enhancements to the FCE Portal screens and removed the option to select gender. These program changes do not impact the burden.

NHTTAC Consultant and Evaluation Package

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) serves as the lead U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency to combat trafficking and modern forms of slavery by administering anti-trafficking programs through grants and contracts and collaborating with federal, tribal, state, and local governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), a federal agency within ACF, provides leadership over anti-trafficking programs and services under the purview of ACF, including implementation of authorities under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended; Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113‒183); Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114‒22); and the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond (SOAR) to Health and Wellness Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–398). In 2016, OTIP, with authority from the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106‒386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22 U.S. Code § 7104 and 22 U.S. Code § 7105(c)(4), established the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) to build the capacity of health and human services professionals and help prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking. This is an existing collection that allows NHTTAC to assess the ongoing training and technical assistance (T/TA) needs of health and human services professionals in preventing, identifying, and responding to trafficking, and to determine the level of satisfaction with services provided by NHTTAC. This package includes eight instruments to assist with a comprehensive evaluation of NHTTAC’s T/TA events and associated efforts. This collection of information is necessary to enable NHTTAC to collect recipient and partner feedback in an efficient, timely manner and in accordance with OTIP’s commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from recipients and partners will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with NHTTAC’s T/TA services. This feedback provides insights into recipient or partner perceptions, expectations, and experiences; provides an early warning of issues with T/TA; and focuses attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve the delivery of T/TA or the responsiveness of NHTTAC. These collections allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between NHTTAC and its recipients and partners. It also allows feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

State Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP)

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration on Children, Youth and Families' (ACYF) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) administers the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), which funds states and territories to implement personal responsibility education programs that educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. PREP projects must also implement at least three adulthood preparation subjects and replicate evidence-based effective programs or substantially incorporate elements of effective programs that have been proven on the basis of scientific research to change behavior. This means delaying sexual activity, increasing condom or contraceptive use for sexually active youth, or reducing pregnancy among youth. States and territories are required to submit plans for the implementation of personal responsibility education. The plans provide information about how the state or territory plans to use their state allotment for the development and implementation of education programs aimed to reduce the pregnancy rates and birth rates for youth populations, especially youth populations that are the most high-risk or vulnerable for pregnancies or otherwise have special circumstances, including youth in foster care, homeless youth, youth with HIV/AIDS, pregnant youth who are under 21 years of age, mothers who are under 21 years of age, and youth residing in areas with high birth rates for youth. No changes are proposed to the state plan. States and territories must also submit a performance progress report (PPR) on a semi-annual basis that informs the monitoring of their program design, program evaluation, management improvement, service quality, and compliance with agreed upon goals. The PPRs provide FYSB with information to assure effective service delivery for youth participants, report outcomes and efficiencies, and provide valuable information to policy makers and key stakeholders in the development of program and research efforts. FYSB proposes updates to the PPR to include a request for information related to equity activities and strategies to mitigate challenges. The inclusion of information on equity activities will support the FYSB Equity Action Plan objectives and identify opportunities to inform the development of T&TA resources, as needed. The inclusion of strategies to mitigate challenges will allow grant recipients to demonstrate how they overcome challenges which can inform peer to peer sharing.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Assessments for Children and Sponsors

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain lawful immigration status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State-licensed, except those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary emergency or influx care facilities and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. In order to adequately provide for the safety and wellbeing of children in ORR care, ORR conducts assessments of the child upon admission and at routine intervals while in ORR custody. Concurrently, ORR must identify and assess the suitability of potential sponsors and household members to ensure safe and timely release of the child to vetted and adult, qualified to provide for the child’s physical and emotional wellbeing. ORR uses several instruments to carry out its responsibilities with respect to UAC. These instruments are used, for example, to evaluate the child’s physical and mental health status, capture important biographic data, determine risk of sexual abuse or victimization, and enable ORR to track high-level milestones in the child’s case up through release. ORR has also developed an instrument to identify and screen potential sponsors. The instruments in this proposed information collection allow ORR to document the findings of these assessments as required by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 279); the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232); the Foundational Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 410; and the Prevention of Sexual Abuse Interim Final Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 411. Forms transferred from the Services information collection (OMB # 0970-0553) were last approved by OMB on August 22, 2024 and expire on April 30, 2025. Once approved, the Assessments information collection will contain a total of 9 unique, revised forms.

Veteran Financial and Credit Counseling Services Survey

Key Information

Abstract

Section 313 of the Joseph Maxwell Cleland and Robert Joseph Dole Memorial Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement (Cleland-Dole) Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-328) requires the VA to conduct a study on financial and credit counseling by querying financial and credit counselors, homeless programs providers, and subject matters experts regarding the use of financial and credit counseling services. The intent of this survey is to identify financial and credit counseling needs of Veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness, the financial and credit counseling services offered to these Veterans, the specific barriers that these Veterans have in accessing these financial and credit counseling services, and the effects of financial and credit counseling services on such outcomes as employment, housing status, income, and credit score. The information collected will be used to inform VA policy makers, program managers, and process improvement investigators about how to enhance financial and credit counseling services that are offered to Veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The results of this survey, which will not include personally identifiable information about the individual respondents, will be shared with Congress via a congressionally mandated report. The Veteran Financial and Credit Counseling Services (VFCCS) Survey (VA Form 10-377) has been updated pursuant to Executive Order 14168: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. There are no longer gender options, and the “Gender” field in Question 13 has been changed to “Sex” with only “Female or Male” as choices.

VA Suicide Prevention 2.0 Program - Community Opinion Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The information VA is proposing to collect does not currently exist. It will be used in order to accomplish three aims: 1) collect baseline data on the knowledge and attitudes of adult US citizens living in specified communities about Veterans, Veteran suicide, and resources available to Veterans to reduce suicide, prior to the implementation of suicide prevention programs; 2) collect follow-up data in the same communities to assess whether those knowledge and attitudes have changed over time; and 3) determine whether the programs and policies implemented by a community resulted in positive change in knowledge and attitudes. The data will be utilized by the Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in VA Central Office to measure the return on investment of significant resources that have been invested to support communities in their (that is, the communities’) efforts to reduce Veteran suicide. Specifically, the Community-Based Interventions (CBI) arm of VA’s “Suicide Prevention 2.0” initiative has launched two different initiatives whose goals are to increase the successful implementation of best practices to prevent Veteran suicide in local communities. The data will allow VA to measure a baseline level of expected outcomes, follow-up levels, and to explore the role of new programs in those changes. The data will be used to perform program planning and evaluation. The data will also be used by the State teams that are engaged in the Governor’s Challenge initiative. GC is one of the initiatives supported by SP2.0 and is structured so that State teams are provided training and technical assistance by VA to expand their efforts to implement suicide prevention programs in their State. This data collection will assist the State teams to assess the effects of their new programming or policies. The Suicide Prevention 2.0 Program - Community Opinion Survey has been updated pursuant to Executive Order 14168: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. The gender question has been changed to “sex” and gender options have been deleted from the Survey.

VHA Homeless Programs - Project CHALENG for Veterans

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched Project CHALENG (Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups) for Veterans in 1993 in response to Public Law 102-405, which required VA to make an assessment of the needs of homeless Veterans in coordination with other Federal departments, state and local government agencies, and nongovernmental agencies with experience working with homeless persons. Since 1993, VA has administered a needs assessment in accordance with guidance in Public Law 103-446 and Public Law 105-114. This collection of information is necessary to ensure that VA and community partners are developing services that are responsive to the needs of local homeless Veterans, in order to end homelessness and prevent new Veterans from experiencing homelessness. Over the years data from CHALENG has assisted VA in developing new services for Veterans such as the Homeless Veteran Dental Program (HVDP), the expansion of the Department of Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, the Veterans Justice Programs and Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). In addition community organizations use CHALENG data in grant applications to support services for homeless Veterans; grant applications are for VA, other Federal, local government, and community foundation dollars, which maximizes community participation in serving homeless Veterans. This collection will be a renewal of the collection approved in 2021. No revisions have been made to the questions; however, revisions to the burden hours are based upon the number of respondents in the previous year. The collection consists of two survey forms: one for Veterans (VA Form 10-10161) and one for VA staff members, community homeless providers, and interested community members (VA Form 10-10162). The only difference between the two survey forms are the introductory demographic questions; otherwise the survey is the same for both groups. The CHALENG Survey for Veterans (VA Form 10-10161) has been updated pursuant to Executive Order 14168: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. There are no longer gender options, and the “Gender” field in Question 3 has been changed to “Sex” with only “Female or Male” as choices.

Generic Clearance for NWS Customer Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved generic information collection. The question bank has been revised to ensure compliance and alignment with current Administration priorities and Executive Orders. This collection follows the guidelines contained in the OMB Resource Manual for Customer Surveys. In accordance with Executive Order 12862, the National Performance Review, and good management practices, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) offices seek approval to continue to gather customer feedback on services and/or products which can be used in planning for service/product modification and prioritization. Under this generic clearance, individual offices would use approved questionnaires and develop new questionnaires, as needed, by selecting subsets of the approved set of collection questions and tailoring those specific questions to be meaningful for their particular programs. These proposed questionnaires would then be submitted to OMB using a fast-track request for approval process, for which separate Federal Register notices are not required. This generic clearance will not be used to survey any bodies NOAA regulates unless precautions are taken to ensure that the respondents believe that they are not under any risk for not responding or for the contents of their responses, e.g., in no survey to such a population will the names and addresses of respondents be required. Two sets of survey questions are used for generation of program-level questionnaires. Quantitative questions seek to obtain numerical ratings from respondents on their satisfaction with various aspects of the product or service they obtained – satisfaction with the quality of the product, the courtesy of the staff, the format of and documentation for data received, and similar standard types of questions. The offices using such questions are able to determine which aspects of their program need improvement or have improved. Qualitative questions are more focused on who is using the product and service, how it is being used, and the medium or format in which the respondent would like to see data provided.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.

[OPHDST] Generic Clearance for the Collection of Minimal Data Necessary for Case Data During an Emergency Response

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is designed to collect the MDN and response-specific data as needed, for confirmed, probable, and suspected cases of any disease or condition that is the subject of an emergency response at CDC. During an emergency response, CDC uses case data to inform actions that need to be taken at all levels of public health and by the public. State, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health departments and CDC need to exchange data on confirmed, probable, and suspected cases rapidly. Timely notification of cases from STLT to CDC is critical to provide situational awareness at the federal level to support decision making, particularly for public health threats. This Change Request is submitted to add new disease specific data elements (fields for outbreak status, CDC outbreak name, exposure dates, fields for 'other') for collection by CDC when individual GenICs are submitted under the 0920-1447 umbrella. Since each individual GenIC will differ, and will collect different data elements, there are no anticipated changes to the burden.

State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS)

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this information collection is to detect state and local community changes in unintentional and undetermined intent drug-related overdose mortality and provide in-depth state and local (e.g., county) information on risk factors for fatal drug overdose deaths (opioid and non-opioid). State public health departments will be funded to abstract standardized data elements from medical examiner/coroner (ME/C) reports as well as death certificates and will report this information to CDC using a web-based platform. Findings will be used to inform the selection and targeting of interventions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This Revision requests removal of a respondent and a modification of the burden hours.
