[Document Identifier: CMS–10398] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on CMS’ intention to collect 

information from the public. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, and to allow 

a second opportunity for public 

comment on the notice. Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding the burden estimate or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including the necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions, the accuracy of 

the estimated burden, ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, and the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of 

information must be received by the 

OMB desk officer by March 29, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

To obtain copies of a supporting 

statement and any related forms for the 

proposed collection(s) summarized in 

this notice, you may make your request 

using one of following: 

1. Access CMS’ website address at 

website address at: https://

www.cms.gov/Regulations-andGuidance/Legislation/Paperwork

ReductionActof1995/PRA-Listing.html. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William Parham at (410) 786–4669. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Generic 

Clearance for Medicaid and CHIP State 

Plan, Waiver, and Program Submissions; 

Use: State Medicaid and CHIP agencies 

are responsible for developing 

submissions to CMS, including state 

plan amendments and requests for 

waivers and program demonstrations. 

States use templates when they are 

available and submit the forms to 

review for consistency with statutory 

and regulatory requirements (or in the 

case of waivers and demonstrations 

whether the proposal is likely to 

promote the objectives of the Medicaid 

program). If the requirements are met, 

we approve the states’ submissions 

giving them the authority to implement 

the flexibilities. For a state to receive 

Medicaid Title XIX funding, there must 

be an approved Title XIX state plan. 

The development of streamlined 

submissions forms enhances the 

collaboration and partnership between 

states and CMS by documenting our 

policy for states to use as they are 

developing program changes. 

Streamlined forms improve efficiency of 

administration by creating a common 

and user-friendly understanding of the 

information we need to quickly process 

requests for state plan amendments, 

waivers, and demonstration, as well as 

ongoing reporting. Form Number: CMS– 

10398 (OMB control number: 0938– 

1148); Frequency: Collection-specific, 

but generally the frequency is yearly, 

once, and occasionally; Affected Public: 

State, Local, or Tribal Governments; 

Number of Respondents: 56; Total 

Responses: 1,540; Total Hours: 154,104 

(3-year total). (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact 

Annette Pearson at 410–786–6858.) 

Dated: February 23, 2021. 

William N. Parham, III, 

Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office 

of Strategic Operations and Regulatory 

Affairs.
