Proposed Information Collection Activity; Child Support Portal
Registration (Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0370)
AGENCY: Office of Child Support Services, Administration for Children
and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for Public Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS), Administration
for Children and Families (ACF), is requesting the federal Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approve the ``Child Support Portal
Registration,'' with minor revisions, for an additional three years.
The OCSS Child Support Portal (``Portal'') contains applications to
help state child support agencies administer their programs. Authorized
Portal users must register with OCSS to access Portal applications and
provide OCSS with certain Portal application preferences. The current
OMB approval expires on February 28, 2025.
DATES: Comments due September 16, 2024. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection
described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be forwarded by emailing
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#254c4b434a464a49494046514c4a4b654446430b4d4d560b424a53"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cea7a0a8a1ada1a2a2abadbaa7a1a08eafada8e0a6a6bde0a9a1b8">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The OCSS Division of Federal Systems (DFS) maintains
the Portal, which contains various applications through which
authorized users may view, update, upload, or download information for
child support purposes. Authorized users must register to access the
Portal. The DFS Portal team authenticates registrants and then creates
secure profiles for authorized users for employers, insurers, and
financial institutions based on information provided in the Employer
Services and Insurance Match Debt Inquiry Portal Agreement and Profile
forms. Information provided in the electronic National Medical Support
Notice (e-NMSN), the electronic Incoming Withholding Order (e-IWO), and
Federally Assisted State Transmitted (FAST) Levy Financial Institution
Profile form gives DFS the necessary information to set up the
respective program user's process and capture preferences. The
information OCSS collects for the Portal registration and profiles
remains the same but they underwent minor clarification revisions and
edits to update ``Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)'' to
``Office of Child Support Services (OCSS).''
State child support agencies manage and authenticate authorization
for individual users via the state proxy server; therefore, a Portal
Registration form is not required. State users must, however, provide
DFS with their respective Portal preferences.
Respondents: Employers, Financial Institutions, Insurers, and State
Child Support Agencies.
