DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Electronic Document
Exchange (Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0435)
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 Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to approve the Electronic Document Exchange (EDE),
with minor revisions, for an additional three years. State child
support agencies (CSAs) use the EDE to improve case processing. The
current OMB approval expires on June 30, 2025.
DATES: Comments due February 7, 2025. 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: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1871767e777b7774747d7b6c71777658797b7e3670706b367f776e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f0999e969f939f9c9c959384999f9eb0919396de989883de979f86">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The EDE provides a centralized, secure system for
authorized users in state CSAs to electronically exchange child support
and spousal support case information with other state CSAs. EDE
benefits state CSAs by reducing delays, costs, and barriers associated
with interstate case processing. It increases state collections,
improves document security, standardizes data sharing, increases state
participation, and improves case processing, resulting in better
overall child and spousal support outcomes. OCSS made minor updates to
the Portal screens to enhance functionality and changed ``Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)'' to ``Office of Child Support
Services (OCSS).''
