RE: Federal Case Registry (FCR) Interface Guidance Document: Update 4

Dear Colleague:

Enclosed you will find the fourth update to the FCR Interface Guidance Document (IGD). This update of appendix J describes new, changed or deleted error codes. This information is important to the automated State system interface with the FCR. The attached pages, J-1 through J-17, replace the entire current Appendix J. The changed codes are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Minor formatting and grammatical changes have also been made, but are not included in Attachment A.

In some cases the changes contained in this update to Appendix J reflect changes that need to be made in other sections of the IGD. Additional changes to the IGD will be distributed in the near future. It was important to provide the attached information as soon as possible.

Should you have any questions about the enclosed material, please call your State Technical Assistance liaison or the FPLS Information Line at (202) 401-9267.

Thank you for your assistance in the implementation of the Federal Case Registry. Your continued support and cooperation is greatly appreciated as we strive towards our goal of improving the lives of our nation's children.

Sincerely,

David Gray Ross

Commissioner
