This collection
is approved on the condition that the analysis plan will be revised
to reflect the following additional information. The plan, as
submitted to OMB on 8/23/96, does not explain how OCSE plans to
assess the costs and benefits of a New Hire System. The plan should
identify how this task is to be done, including identifying the
costs of such a collection and the specific benefits to be gained
such as collections of child support payments, State/Federal
savings in welfare payments, the number of paternities and orders
established, etc. In addition, it is useful to identify not just
how the number of cases for which matches were made but also the
type of cases (e.g. are hits being made across the board or only in
certain occupations with high turnover). OCSE, as a condition of
this clearance, shall work with OMB to develop a mutually-agreed
upon plan for analysis. In addition, OCSE shall add the OMB number,
expiration date, and burden statement to the New Hire guidance. The
plan shall be submitted for OMB review by 9/22/96.

States may volunteer to submit
information on newly hired employees to the Federal Parent Locator
Service (FPLS), a function of the Office of Child Support
Enforcement. New hire data will be matched against child support
cases currently on file in the Tax Refund Offset Program and cases
with locate requests in the FPLS to determine if the newly hired
employee has child support obligations or is sought for child
support-related actions. The Federal employee data base will be
matched against cases in the Tax Refund Offset Program. Both types
of matches that occur will be reported to States.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
