Comment Request
Title: Advance Planning Document
(APD) Process.
OMB No.: 0970–0417.
Description: The Advance Planning
Document (APD) process, established in
the rules at 45 CFR part 95, subpart F,
is the procedure by which states request
and obtain approval for Federal
Financial Participation (FFP) in their
cost of acquiring Automated Data
Processing (ADP) equipment and
services.
State child support agencies are
required to establish and operate a
federally approved statewide ADP and
information retrieval system to assist in
child support enforcement. States are
required to submit an initial APD,
containing information to assist the
Secretary of the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) in
determining if the state computerized
support enforcement project planning
and implementation meets federal
certification requirements needed for
the approval of FFP. States are then
required to submit annual APD updates
to provide project status updates to
HHS, as well as, to request ongoing FFP
for systems development,
enhancements, operations and
maintenance. As-Needed APDs are also
submitted to acquire FFP when major
milestone are missed or significant
changed to project schedules occur.
Based on an assessment of the
information provided in APD, states that
do not meet the federal requirements
necessary for approval are required to
conduct periodic independent
verification and validation (IV&V)
services for high risk project oversight.
In addition to the APDs providing
HHS with the information necessary to
determine the allowable level of federal
funding for state systems projects, states
also submit associated procurement and
data security documents, such as the
request for proposals (RFPs), contracts,
contract amendments, and the biennial
security review reports.
Respondents: State Child Support
Agencies.

AIDD will be reallotting FY 2017
funds awarded to the State Council on
Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) and
the Protection & Advocacy (P&A) agency
located within the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico. This determination is based
on the limited reported expenditures
and requests for reimbursement over the
last several years from the SCDD and
P&A in the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico.
The Puerto Rico SCDD will have up
to $1.9 million rescinded and
proportionately redistributed to the
remaining SCDDs. SCDDs that receive
FY 2017 realloted funds will have
through the end of FY 2018 to obligate
the funds and until the end of FY 2019
to liquidate the funds.
The Puerto Rico P&A will have up to
$550,000 rescinded and proportionately
redistributed to the remaining P&As.
P&As that receive the FY 2017 funds
will have through the end of FY 2019 to
spend the funds.
Realloted funds for both the SCDDs
and the P&As must be used according to
