Title: Performance Progress Report
(PPR).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The PPR is a set of
uniform reporting formats that will be
used for standard reporting on
performance under grants and
cooperative agreements issued by the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) and the Grants Center of
Excellence (CoE) partners. Performance
reporting is an integral part of the
President’s Management Agenda (PMA).
In addition to allowing for uniformity of
information collection, these formats
will support systematic electronic
collection and submission of
information. These formats will provide
interim and final performance progress
information as required by OMB
Circulars A–102 and A–110.
The PPR consists of a cover page and
six optional forms or formats. The cover
page contains identifying data elements
and a section for a performance
narrative. Use of the cover page is
required, and programs may only
require their respondents to submit this
page and/or attach a performance
narrative. Alternatively, programs may
opt to require the cover page and one or
more of the six optional formats.
Respondents: ACF, the Grants Center
of Excellence partners and their
grantees.

Title: Computerized Support
Enforcement Systems—NPRM.
OMB No.: 0980–0271.
Description: The information being
collected is mandated by section
454(16) of the Social Security Act (the
Act), which provides for the
establishment and operation by State
agencies, in accordance with an initial
and annually updated Advance
Planning Document (APD) approved
under section 452(d) of the Act, of a
statewide system meeting the
requirements of section 454A of the Act.
In addition, section 454A(e)(1) of the
Act requires that States create a State
Case Registry (SCR) within their
statewide automated child support
systems to include information on IV–
D cases and non-IV–D orders
established or modified in the State on
or after October 1, 1998. Section
454A(e)(5) of the Act requires States to
regularly update their cases in the SCR.
This notice reflects the new
transactions set for SCR to Federal Case

Registry (FCR) transactions where States
are encouraged, but not required, to
submit data from their SCR to the FCR.
The data being collected for the APD
are a combination of narratives, budgets
and schedules, which are used to
provide funding approvals on an annual
basis and to monitor and oversee
systems development. Child support has
separate regulations under 45 CFR
307.15 related to submitted of APDs
because the program had supplemental
authority for enhanced funding for
systems development, and has
substantial penalties for noncompliance
with the statutory deadline of October 1,
2000. This information collection
reflects the fact that 52 states and
Territories are now certified as meeting
the automation requirements of the
Family Support Act of 1988 (FSA) and
the Personal Responsibilities and Work
Opportunity Act of 1996 (PRWORA),
leaving only two States that are not yet
PRWORA systems certified and only
one state that has not submitted an
Implementation APD for compliance
with PRWORA automation. States and
Territories that opted to keep their APD
for child support systems are covered
under separate Information Collection,
OMB No. 0992–0005, for 45 CFR part 95
subpart F.
The data being collected for the SCR
is used to transmit mandatory data
elements to the FCR where it is used for
matching against other databases for the
purposes of location of individuals,
assets, employment and other child
support related activities.
Respondents: State and Territorial
Child Support Agencies.
