Abstract:
The Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement’s (OCSE) Federal Parent Locator Service offers the Electronic Document Exchange (EDE), formerly titled ‘‘Child Support Document Exchange System’’ (CSDES), application within the OCSE Child Support Portal. The EDE provides a centralized, secure system for authorized users in state child support agencies to electronically exchange child support and spousal support case information with other state child support agencies. Using the EDE benefits state child support agencies by reducing delays, costs, and barriers associated with interstate case processing; increasing state collections; improving document security; standardizing data sharing; increasing state participation; and improving case processing and overall child and spousal support outcomes.

Short Statement:
This request is for a revision to the approved information collection. State child support agencies refer to the EDE application as the “Electronic Data Exchange” or “EDE,” which was the original name of the application. OCSE changed the application name to CSDES, but reverted the program name to align with the EDE Online screen titles within the application rather than making costly changes to the application. The naming convention has no impact on the burden hour or cost to state child support agencies. At the request of state child support agencies, OCSE made minor application enhancements to improve request and response content options, expand case information and documentation content and format and search options. These enhancements provide states with more flexibility in supporting their current business workflows and organizational structures. While the enhancements constitute a program change, they do not require state child support agencies to make any system changes; therefore, the enhancements do not impact the burden hour or costs. Based on actual participation, the number of EDE users is less than the previous approval estimates; however, the number of documents exchanged increased, resulting in a slight adjustments to both the burden hour and cost estimates. Adjustments to the cost estimates also include OMB’s requirement to double the hourly rate to account for fringe benefits and overhead. This requirement constitutes a program change and is why the burden significantly increased since the previous approval.
