DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency 
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    Title: Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS).
    OMB No.: New.
    Description: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) 
operates the Federal Parent Locator Services (FPLS), a computerized 
national location network which provides address and social security 
number information to State and local child support enforcement 
agencies upon request to locate parents in order to establish or 
enforce a child support order and to assist authorized persons in 
resolving parental kidnapping and child custody cases.
    State and local agency requests to the FPLS can be made by tape, 
cartridge, electronic file transfer or by dialing-up using a personal 
computer. The FPLS serves as a conduit between child support 
enforcement offices and Federal and State agencies by conducting 
weekly, biweekly, or monthly matches of the collected information with 
various agencies and distributing the information back to the 
requesting State or local child support office.
    Respondents: State, Local, Tribal or Federal Govt.
