BILLING CODE 4184-01-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request *Title:* National Medical Support Notice *OMB No.:* 0970-0222 *Description:* The National Medical Support Notice
(NMSN)is a two-part document that requires information from State child support enforcement agencies, employers, and health plan administrators to assist in enforcing health care coverage provisions in a child support order. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Administration for Children and Families
(ACF)developed and maintains part A of the NMSN, which is sent to an obligor's employer for completion; the Department of Labor
(DOL)developed and maintains part B of the NMSN, which is provided to health care administrators following completion of part A. DOL revised part B to conform with changes to the currently approved part A and is seeking a three-year approval from OMB. To avoid burdening the State child support enforcement agencies with potential reprogramming at varying times due to future changes in part A or B, ACF is resubmitting an unchanged information collection package and requesting an extension to the current OMB approval of NMSN part A to synchronize the expiration date with NMSN part B. *Respondents:* State child support enforcement agencies, employers, and health plan administrators.
