RE: Federal Case Registry (FCR) Interface Guidance Document (IGD): Update 7

Dear Colleague:

Enclosed is the seventh update to the Federal Case Registry (FCR) Interface Guidance Document (IGD). This update describes the new and clarified functions of many components of the FCR. This update is crucial to maintaining your State’s Automated State System interface with the FCR.

To help you understand those parts of the IGD that have changed, a chart is attached listing changes and the main section in the IGD where they are discussed (in some instances a change may be discussed in more than one place). Minor formatting and grammatical changes have also been made but are not included in the chart.

Note that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued an updated version of their Publication 1075, "Tax Information Security Guidelines for Federal, State, and Local Agencies" (Rev. 3/99). The web site address for the document has also changed (see section 9.6.3 of the IGD for further details).

If you have any questions about the enclosed material, please call the FPLS Information Line at (202) 401-9267.

Thank you for your assistance in implementing 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
Office of Child Support Enforcement
