Information Collection Activities: 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2010, the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

guidance related to the ‘‘generic’’ 

clearance process. Generally, this is an 

expedited process by which agencies 

may obtain OMB’s approval of 

collection of information requests that 

are ‘‘usually voluntary, low-burden, and 

uncontroversial collections,’’ do not 

raise any substantive or policy issues, 

and do not require policy or 

methodological review. The process 

requires the submission of an 

overarching plan that defines the scope 

of the individual collections that would 

fall under its umbrella. On October 23, 

2011, OMB approved our initial request 

to use the generic clearance process 

under control number 0938–1148 

(CMS–10398). It was last approved on 

April 26, 2021, via the standard PRA 

process which included the publication 

of 60- and 30-day Federal Register 

notices. The scope of the April 2021 

umbrella accounts for Medicaid and 

CHIP State plan amendments, waivers, 

demonstrations, and reporting. This 

Federal Register notice seeks public 

comment on one or more of our 

collection of information requests that 

we believe are generic and fall within 

the scope of the umbrella. Interested 

persons are invited to submit comments 

regarding our burden estimates 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.
