information maintained by insurers (or their agents) concerning 
insurance claims, settlements, awards, and payments. On a daily basis, 
OCSS sends the results of the insurance data match in an ``Insurance 
Match Response Record'' to child support agencies that use the 
insurance data matches to collect past-due support from the insurance 
proceeds. OCSS incorporated a separate burden calculation for 
respondents opting to electronically report quarterly.
    Respondents: Insurers or their agents, including the U.S. 
Department of Labor and State agencies administering workers' 
compensation programs, and the Insurance Services Office.
