Grant to the State of Wisconsin,

Department of Workforce Development

AGENCY: Office of Child Support

Enforcement, ACF, DHHS.

ACTION: Notice of award.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a

noncompetitive grant award is being

made to the State of Wisconsin

Department of Workforce Development

to further support their Child Support

Demonstration Evaluation project. This

project will continue the evaluation of

the Wisconsin child support

passthrough and disregard policy,

through the analysis of a later cohort of

participants, longer-term follow-up, and

an evaluation of the impact of changes

in the pass-through policy.

This three-year project is being

funded noncompetitively, because it is

expected to provide valuable

information useful to this Department

and other practitioners regarding

research and demonstration initiatives

related to welfare reform, child support,

and the well-being of low-income

children and families. Wisconsin will

build on their work in the Child

Support Demonstration Evaluation

project and do an extensive analysis of

the effects of passing through child

support payments to families as well as

the effects on child support enforcement

performance. The cost of the project is

$463,836 for three years. The period of

this funding will extend through

September 29, 2003.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

STORAGE:

The Location and Collection System

records are maintained on disc and

computer tape, and hard copy.

RETRIEVABILITY:

System records can be accessed by

either a State assigned case

identification number or Social Security

Number.

SAFEGUARDS:

1. Authorized Users: All requests from

the State IV–D Agency must certify that:

(1) They are being made to locate

noncustodial and custodial parents for

the purpose of establishing paternity or

securing child support, or in cases

involving parental kidnapping or child

custody and visitation determinations

and for no other purpose; (2) the State

IV–D agency has in effect protective

measures to safeguard the personal

information being transferred and

received from the Federal Parent

Locator Service; and (3) the State IV–D

Agency will use or disclose this

information for the purposes prescribed

in 45 CFR 303.70.

2. Physical Safeguards: For

computerized records electronically

transmitted between Central Office and

field office locations (including

organizations administering HHS

programs under contractual

agreements), safeguards include a lock/

unlock password system. All input

documents will be inventoried and

accounted for. All inputs and outputs

will be stored in a locked receptacle in

a locked room. All outputs will be

labeled ‘‘For Official Use Only’’ and

treated accordingly.

3. Procedural and Technical

Safeguards: All Federal and State

personnel and contractors are required

to take a nondisclosure oath. A

password is required to access the

terminal. All microfilm and paper files

are accessible only by authorized

personnel who have a need for the

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Quarterly wage data and

unemployment data supplied to the LCS

produced a match as a result of any

information comparison will not

thereafter be used for child support

enforcement purposes. Quarterly wages

and unemployment data and new hire

information will be deleted from the

database 24 months after the date of

entry. An information comparison will

be retained for 24 months. Sample data

will be retained only long enough to

complete research authorized under

section 453(j)(5) of the Act. Tax refund

and administrative offset information

will be maintained for six years in an

active master file for purposes of

collection and adjustment. After this

time, records of cases for which there

was no collection will be destroyed.

Records of cases with a collection will

be stored on-line in an inactive master

file. Records pertaining to passport

denial will be updated and/or deleted as

obligors meet satisfactory restitution or

other State approved arrangements.

Records of information provided to

authorized users will be maintained

only long enough to communicate the

information to the appropriate State or

Federal agent. Thereafter, the

information provided will be destroyed.

However, records pertaining to the

disclosures, which include information

provided by States, Federal agencies

contacted, and an indication of the

type(s) of information returned, will be

stored on a history tape and in hard

copy for five years and then destroyed.

States, Federal agencies contacted, and

an indication of the type(s) of

information returned, will be stored on

a history tape and in hard copy for five

years and then destroyed.
