OMB No.: 0970-0421. Description: States are required to create and update a State Case Registry (SCR) within their statewide automated child support systems, to include information on cases enforced by state child support agencies (IV-D) and cases not enforced by those agencies (non-IV-D), including cases enforced by the courts. The Federal Case Registry (FCR) consisting of child support orders informs states which other state(s) has information on cases or participants of interest to them. States are required to furnish to the FCR the minimum amount of information on child support cases (including updates to those cases) recorded in the SCR that is necessary to operate the FCR. The information alerts states to other states that have registered the same individual. The FCR automatically provides states with address, employment, and unemployment information to locate these parents and their employers to either establish or enforce a child support order. This information collection pertains to information collected from courts and transmitted to the FCR. The activities associated with this information collection are authorized by (1) 42 U.S.C. 654a(e)which requires that state child support agencies establish, update, maintain, and monitor an automated state case registry containing records pertaining to cases enforced by the child support agencies and order information pertaining to all cases, including cases not enforced by the child support agencies, using standardized data elements and including payment records; and (2) 42 U.S.C. 654a(f)(1), which requires states to furnish certain state case registry information to the FCR, an automated registry established within the Federal Parent Locator Service, to assist state child support enforcement agencies and for other purposes. Respondents: State Child Support Agencies and Courts.
