Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Electronic Document Exchange (formerly titled, ``Child 
Support Document Exchange System'').
    OMB No.: 0970-0435.
    Description: The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement's 
(OCSE) Federal Parent Locator Service offers the Electronic Document 
Exchange (EDE), formerly titled ``Child Support Document Exchange 
System'' (CSDES), application within the OCSE Child Support Portal. The 
EDE provides 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 EDE 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 EDE 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; (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; and (3) 45 CFR 303.7(a)(5), provides the mechanism for state 
child support agencies to 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 the regulation.
    Respondents: State Child Support Agencies.
