Title: Child Support Document
Exchange System (CSDES).
OMB No.: 0970–0435.
Description: The Federal Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)
offers the Child Support Document
Exchange System (CSDES) application
within the OCSE Child Support Portal.
The CSDES provides state agencies with
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. Using the CSDES
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 and overall child and
spousal support outcomes.
The activities associated with the
CSDES application are supported by (1)
42 U.S.C. 652(a)(7), which requires
OCSE to provide technical assistance to
the states to help them establish
effective systems for collecting child
and spousal support; (2) 42 U.S.C.
666(c)(1), which requires state child
support agencies to have expedited
procedures to obtain and promptly
share information with other state child
support agencies; and, (3) 45 CFR
303.7(a)(5), which requires states to
transmit requests for child support case
information and provide requested
information electronically to the greatest
extent possible.
Respondents: State Child Support
Agencies.

Title: Strengthening Relationship
Education and Marriage Services
(STREAMS) Evaluation.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Family
Assistance (OFA) within the
Administration for Children and
Familes (ACF) at the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services has issued
grants to 46 organizations to provide
healthy marriage and relationship
education (HMRE) services. The Office
of Planning, Research, and Evaluation
(OPRE) within ACF proposes data
collection activity in six HMRE grantees
as part of the Strengthening
Relationship Education and Marriage
Services (STREAMS) evaluation. The
purpose of STREAMS is to measure the
effectiveness and quality of HMRE
programs designed to strengthen
intimate relationships. In particular, the
evaluation will examine HMRE
programs for youth in high school, atrisk youth, and adults. The study will
fill knowledge gaps about the
effectiveness of HMRE programming for
youth and adults and strategies for
improving program delivery and
participant engagement in services. The
STREAMS evaluation will include two
components, an impact study and a
process study.
1. Impact Study. The goal of the
impact study is to provide rigorous
estimates of the effectiveness of program
services and interventions to improve
program implementation. The impact
study will use an experimental design.
Eligible program applicants will be
randomly assigned to either a program
group that is offered program services or
a control group that is not. Grantee staff
will use an add-on to an existing
program MIS (the nFORM system, OMB
no. 0970–0460) to conduct random
assignment in sites enrolling at-risk
youth and adults. STREAMS will use
classroom-level or school-level random
assignment for programs serving youth
in high school. STREAMS will collect
baseline information from eligible
program applicants prior to random
assignment and administer a follow-up
survey to all study participants 12
months after random assignment.
2. Process study. The goal of the
process study is to support the
interpretation of impact findings and
document program operations to
support future replication. STREAMS
will conduct semi-structured interviews
with program staff and selected
community stakeholders, conduct focus
groups with program participants,
administer a paper-and-pencil survey to
program staff, and collect data on
adherence to program curricula through
an add on to an existing program MIS
(nFORM, OMB no. 0970–0460).
This 30-Day Notice includes the
following data collection activities: (1)
A topic guide for semi-structured
interviews with program staff and
community stakeholders, (2) focus
group guides for adult program
participants, (3) focus group guides for
youth in schools, (4) a staff survey, (5)
the MIS functions for collecting data on
adherence to program curricula (6)
introductory script that program staff
will use to introduce the study to
participants, (7) the MIS functions for
conducting random assignment, (8) a
baseline survey for youth, (9) a followup survey for youth, (10) a baseline
survey for adults, and (11) a follow-up
survey for adults.
Respondents: Program applicants,
study participants, grantee staff, and
local stakeholders (such as staff at
referral agencies).
