ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families’ (ACF) Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) is
requesting an update to the existing data
collection for the Advance Planning
Document (APD) process (OMB #0970–
0417). OCSE proposes revisions to the
annual burden estimates to reflect an
increase in the number of states seeking
approval to implement modernization
solutions in efforts to replace antiquated
legacy child support enforcement
systems and to address an excess
demand for emergency funding requests
due to the impacts of the COVID–19
pandemic.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
ACF is soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies can
also be obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street
SW, Washington, DC 20201, Attn: ACF
Reports Clearance Officer. All requests,
emailed or written, should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The APD process,
established 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 173 / Friday, September 4, 2020 / Notices
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 U.S. 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 HHS to report project status and
request ongoing FFP for systems
development, enhancements,
operations, and maintenance. Asneeded APDs are also submitted to
acquire FFP when major milestones are
missed or significant changes to project
schedules occur. Based on an
assessment of the information provided
in the APD, states that do not meet the
federal requirements necessary for
approval are required to conduct
periodic independent verification and
validation 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
requests for proposals (RFPs), contracts,
contract amendments, and the biennial
security review reports.
Respondents: State child support
agencies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: According
to Section 2607(b)(1) of the Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Act, (42 U.S.C.
8626(b)(1)), if the Secretary of HHS
determines as of September 1, of any
fiscal year, an amount in excess of 10
percent of the amount awarded to a
grantee for that fiscal year (excluding
Leveraging and REACH funds) will not
be used by the grantee during that fiscal
year, then the Secretary must notify the
grantee and publish a notice in the
Federal Register that such funds may be
reallotted to LIHEAP grantees during the
following fiscal year. If reallotted, the
LIHEAP block grant allocation formula
will be used to distribute the funds. No
funds may be allotted to entities that are
not direct LIHEAP grantees during FY
2020. It has been determined that
$948,485 in LIHEAP funds may be
available for reallotment during FY
2020. This determination is based on FY
2019 Carryover and Reallotment Reports
submitted by FY 2019 LIHEAP grantees
showing 12 grantees as having funds
available for reallotment. These grantees
