Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: National Medical Support Notice
    OMB No.: 0970-0222
    Description: The National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) is a two-
part document that requires information from State child support 
enforcement agencies, employers, and health plan administrators to 
assist in enforcing health care coverage provisions in a child support 
order. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) developed and maintains 
part A of the NMSN, which is sent to an obligor's employer for 
completion; the Department of Labor (DOL) developed and maintains part 
B of the NMSN, which is provided to health care administrators 
following completion of part A.
    DOL revised part B to conform with changes to the currently 
approved part A and is seeking a three-year approval from OMB. To avoid 
burdening the State child support enforcement agencies with potential 
reprogramming at varying times due to future changes in part A or B, 
ACF is resubmitting an unchanged information collection package and 
requesting an extension to the current OMB approval of NMSN part A to 
synchronize the expiration date with NMSN part B.
    Respondents: State child support enforcement agencies, employers, 
and health plan administrators.
