OMB No.: 0970-0417. Description: The Advance Planning Document (APD) process, established in the rules at 45 CFR part 95, subpart F, is the procedure by which states request and obtain approval for Federal Financial Participation (FFP) in their cost of acquiring Automated Data Processing (ADP) equipment and services. State child support agencies are required to establish and operate a federally approved statewide ADP and information retrieval system to assist in child support enforcement. States are required to submit an initial APD, containing information to assist the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in determining if the state computerized support enforcement project planning and implementation meets federal certification requirements needed for the approval of FFP. States are then required to submit annual APD updates to provide project status updates to HHS, as well as, to request ongoing FFP for systems development, enhancements, operations and maintenance. As-Needed APDs are also submitted to acquire FFP when major milestone are missed or significant changed to project schedules occur. Based on an assessment of the information provided in APD, states that do not meet the federal requirements necessary for approval are required to conduct periodic independent verification and validation (IV&V) services for high risk project oversight. In addition to the APDs providing HHS with the information necessary to determine the allowable level of federal funding for state systems projects, states also submit associated procurement and data security documents, such as the request for proposals (RFPs), contracts, contract amendments, and the biennial security review reports.
