When a state sends the FCR information about persons in a new case or child support order, this new information is automatically compared to existing person information in the FCR. If matches are found, the FPLS notifies all appropriate state child support enforcement agencies of the record match. In this way, a state will know if another state has a case or support order with participants in common with them, and can take appropriate action. The data in the FCR is also compared to the employment data in the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH). The information collection activities pertaining to the FCR are authorized by: (1) 42 U.S.C. 653(h), requiring the establishment of the Federal Case Registry (FCR) within the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS). (2) 42 U.S.C. 654A(e), requiring State child support agencies to include a State Case Registry (SCR) in the state’s automated system. (3) 42 U.S.C. 654A(f)(1), requiring states to conduct information comparison activities between the SCR and the FCR.

In addition to assessing activities related to the SPF steps, the performance monitoring instruments covered in this statement collect data to assess the following grantee required specific performance measures: • Number of training and technical assistance activities per funded community provided by the grantee to support communities; • Reach of training and technical assistance activities (numbers served) provided by the grantee; • Percentage of subrecipient communities that submit data to the grantee data system; • Number of sub-recipient communities that improved on one or more targeted NOMs indicators (Outcome); • Number of grantees who integrate Prescription Drug Monitoring Data into their program needs assessment. Changes to this package include the following: • Standard language for all DSP–MRT questions; • New disparities module to align with SAMHSA’s monitoring requirements; • Updated technical assistance section; • Deletion of cost questions specific to funding amounts and in-kind resources; • Deletion of advisory council and other workgroup sub-committee questions; • Addition of Section A specific to SPF-Rx questions; • Addition of Section B specific to PDO questions; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276– 1243.
