The states, the same folks who enforce collection of retail sales taxes now.

Why would they do that? They keep what they collect now. Why would they turn it over to the Feds? Who will audit their collection? Are you going to create a new agency to do this?

The keep their own state tax under the NRST as well. The NRST runs parallel with current state retail sales taxes.

Why would they turn it over to the Feds?

Because the feds will take over collection of the NRST if the chose to not do so, just as the old direct & excise tax adminstration requirements worked in the early part of the country's history.

 

United States Statutes at Large
Thirteenth Congress Session. I. Ch. 16. 1813
Chapter XVI. An Act for the assesment and collection of direct taxes and internal duties.(a)

 

Who will audit their collection? Are you going to create a new agency to do this?

Department of Treasury will oversee the tax payment by the 50 States.

I suggest you read the provisions of the actual bill and quit speculating.

H.R.25, S.1493
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.
