Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Child Support Document Exchange System (CSDES).
    OMB No.: 0970-0435.
    Description: The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement offers 
the Child Support Document Exchange System (CSDES) application within 
the OCSE Child Support Portal. The CSDES provides state agencies with a 
centralized, secure system for authorized users in state child support 
agencies to electronically exchange child support and spousal support 
case information with other state child support agencies. Using the 
CSDES benefits state child support agencies by reducing delays, costs, 
and barriers associated with interstate case processing, increasing 
state collections, improving document security, standardizing data 
sharing, increasing state participation, and improving case processing 
and overall child and spousal support outcomes.
    The activities associated with the CSDES are authorized by (1) 42 
U.S.C. 652(a)(7), which requires OCSE to provide technical assistance 
to the states to help them establish effective systems for collecting 
child support and spousal support, thereby helping state child support 
agencies fulfill the federal requirement to transmit requests for child 
support case information and provide requested information 
electronically to the greatest extent possible as required by 45 CFR 
303.7(a)(5); and (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(c)(1), which requires state child 
support agencies to have expedited procedures to obtain and promptly 
share information with other state child support agencies.
    Respondents: State Child Support Agencies.
