Secretary and the Attorney General to
consult with, and arrange for the sharing
of data with, representatives of health
plans. At section 1128C(c) of the Act, a
health plan is defined as a plan or

whether directly, through insurance, or
otherwise, and includes: (1) A policy of
health insurance; (2) a contract of a
service benefit organization; and (3) a
membership agreement with a health
maintenance organization or other
prepaid health plan. In order for CMS to
disclose data with representatives of
health plans pursuant to section
1128C(a)(2) of the Act, CMS is
establishing a new routine use for
twenty-three systems identified as
containing the data that may be used to
detect and prevent fraud, waste, and
abuse. The Secretary’s authority under
section 1128C(a)(2) of the Act has been
delegated to the Administrator of CMS.
Advance notice of the proposed new
routine use for the twenty-three systems
of record was provided to OMB and
Congress as required by the Privacy Act
at 5 U.S.C. 552a(r).
For the reasons described above, the
following routine use is added to the

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request

Title: Federally Assisted State
Transmitted Levy (FAST Levy).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: State IV–D child support
enforcement agencies are required to
secure assets in cases where there is a
support arrearage to satisfy any current
support obligation and the arrearage by
attaching and seizing assets of the
obligor held in financial institutions. To
assist states in fulfilling this statutory
requirement the federal Office of Child
Support Enforcement (OCSE) is
proposing a new information collection
using the Federally Assisted State
Transmitted Levy (FAST Levy), a new

29MYN1
32259
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 103 / Wednesday, May 29, 2013 / Notices
application within the Federal Parent
Locator Service’s Portal. FAST Levy is
a centralized, secure and automated
method of collecting and disseminating
electronic levy notices between child
support enforcement agencies and
multistate financial institutions to
secure the assets in an obligor’s account.
The anticipated impact of employing
FAST Levy is the significant reduction
in existing delays to execute a levy
notice, thereby diminishing opportunity
for an obligor to close accounts; increase
collections of past-due payments to state
agencies and families; cut the states’ and
multistate financial institutions
administrative and implementation
costs of manually executing levy
notices; and strengthen document
security.
The proposed information collection
using the FAST Levy application is
authorized by: (1) 42 U.S.C. 652(a)(7),
which requires OCSE to provide
technical assistance to state child
support agencies to help them establish
effective systems for collecting child
and spousal support; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666
(a)(2) and (c)(1)(G)(ii), which requires
state child support agencies to secure
assets of an obligor to satisfy past due
support orders; and (3) 45 CFR
303.7(a)(5), which requires state child
support agencies to transmit requests for
information and provide requested
information electronically to the greatest
extent possible.

proposed collection of information; (c)
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and, (d)

respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
