ADDRESSES:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: State child support
agencies are required to establish and
operate a federally approved statewide
Automated Data Processing (ADP) and
information retrieval system to assist in
child support services. 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 ADP equipment
and services. The ACF OCSS Division of
State and Tribal Systems (DSTS)
oversees this process.
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 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/ACF/OCSS 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:
Description: State child support agencies are required to establish
and operate a federally approved statewide Automated Data Processing
(ADP) and information retrieval system to assist in child support
services. 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 ADP equipment
and services. The ACF OCSS Division of State and Tribal Systems (DSTS)
oversees this process.
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 HHS to report project

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/ACF/OCSS 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.
