DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families

Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Child 
Support Portal Registration (Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-
0370)

AGENCY: Office of Child Support Services, Administration for Children 
and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS), Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF), is requesting the federal Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approve the ``Child Support Portal 
Registration,'' with minor revisions, for an additional three years. 
The OCSS Child Support Portal (``Portal'') contains applications to 
help state child support agencies administer their programs. Authorized 
Portal users must register with OCSS to access Portal applications and 
provide OCSS with certain Portal application preferences. The current 
OMB approval expires on February 28, 2025.

DATES: Comments due January 8, 2025. OMB must make a decision about the 
collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication of 
this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment is best 
assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of 
publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can 
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by 
emailing [email protected]. Identify all emailed requests by 
the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: OCSS maintains the Portal, which contains various 
applications through which authorized users may view, update, upload, 
or download information for child support purposes. Authorized users 
must register to access the Portal. The OCSS Portal authenticates 
registrants and then creates secure profiles for authorized users for 
employers, insurers, and financial institutions based on information 
provided in the Employer Services Profile and Insurance Match Debt 
Inquiry Portal Agreement and Profile forms. Information provided in the 
electronic National Medical Support Notice (e-NMSN), the electronic 
Incoming Withholding Order (e-IWO), and the Federally Assisted State 
Transmitted (FAST) Levy Financial Institution Profile forms gives OCSS 
the necessary information to set up the respective program user's 
process and capture preferences. State child support agencies manage 
and authenticate authorization for individual users via the state proxy 
server; therefore, a Portal Registration form is not required. State 
users must, however, provide OCSS with their respective Portal 
preferences. The information OCSS collects for the Portal registration 
and profiles remains the same but they underwent minor clarification 
revisions and edits to update ``Office of Child Support Enforcement 
(OCSE)'' to ``Office of Child Support Services (OCSS).'' OCSS revised 
the ``Registration Screen'' burden after the 60-day notice published to 
correctly reflect the current number of respondents and removed 
``agreement'' from the Employer Services Profile form. OCSS also 
removed the e-NMSN Plan Administrator form because there are no 
respondents.
    Respondents: Employers, Financial Institutions, Insurers, and State 
Child Support Agencies.
