Proposed Projects
Title: Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS).
OMB No.: Currently under review by OMB under procedures for
emergency processing.
Description: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)
operates the Federal Parent Locator Services (FPLS), a computerized
national location network which provides address and social security
number information to State and local child support enforcement
agencies upon request to locate parents in order to establish or
enforce a child support order and to assist authorized persons in
resolving parental kidnapping and child custody cases.
State and local agency requests to the FPLS can be made by tape,
cartridge, electronic file transfer or by dialing-up using a personal
computer. The FPLS serves as a conduit between child support
enforcement offices and Federal and State agencies by conducting
weekly, biweekly, or monthly matches of the collected information with
various agencies and distributing the information back to the
requesting State or local child support office.
Respondents: State, Local, Tribal or Federal Govt.
