On January 1, 2017, the multilateral 2007 Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance (the Hague Child Support Convention) came into force for the U.S. The U.S. now has reciprocal relationships with 36 other foreign countries under the Hague Convention and that number is growing. Countries that are party to the Hague Child Support Convention use 14 standardized Convention case processing forms, which were designed to greatly reduce the complexity of case processing in the international context. Section 311(b) of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 2008, which has been enacted by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, requires states to use forms mandated by federal law. (UIFSA enactment was required by Public Law (P.L.) 113-183.) Regulations under 45 CFR 303.7 also require child support programs to use federally-approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D cases unless a country has provided alternative forms as a part of its chapter in a Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Foreign Reciprocating Countries.

Miscellaneous Actions
From the last information collection, the number of burden hours decreased slightly due to a decline in the national caseload: from 13,478 annual burden hours to 13,001 burden hours in this information collection. However, in this estimate, we included a higher hourly wage and fringe benefits rate, so that this collection estimates a higher average hourly wage, which accounts for a higher annual cost of $447,754, as compared to $294,494 in the last information collection.
