AGENCY: Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration for 
Children and Families, HHS.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF), is requesting the federal Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) to approve the Electronic Document Exchange 
(EDE), with minor revisions, for an additional three years. State child 
support agencies use the EDE to improve case processing. The current 
OMB approval expires on June 30, 2022.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Description: 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. 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, resulting in better overall child and 
spousal support outcomes. OCSE made minor updates to the Portal screens 
to enhance functionality.
    Respondents: State Child Support Agencies.
