Agency Information Collection 

Request. 30-Day Public Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Office of the Secretary (OS), Department 

of Health and Human Services, is 

publishing the following summary of a 

proposed collection for public 

comment. Interested persons are invited 

to send comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

To obtain copies of the supporting 

statement and any related forms for the 

proposed paperwork collections 

referenced above, email your request, 

including your address, phone number, 

OMB number, and OS document

Proposed Project: The Children’s 

Health Insurance Program 

Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) Express 

Lane Eligibility (ELE) Evaluation—OMB 

No. 0990–NEW—Assistant Secretary 

Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

(ASPE) is requesting the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval on a new collection to evaluate 

the implementation of a new policy 

known as Express Lane Eligibility (ELE). 

With ELE, a state’s Medicaid and/or 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(CHIP) can rely on another agency’s 

eligibility findings to qualify children 

for health coverage, despite their 

different methods of assessing income 

or otherwise determining eligibility. 

CHIPRA authorized an extensive, 

rigorous evaluation of ELE, creating an 

exceptional opportunity to document 

ELE implementation across states and to 

assess the changes to coverage or 

administrative costs that may have 

resulted. The evaluation also provides 

an opportunity to understand other 

methods of simplified enrollment that 

states have been pursuing and to assess 

the benefits and potential costs of these 

methods compared to those of ELE. To 

answer key research questions, ASPE 

will draw on 5 primary data collections 

including (1) Collecting administrative 

cost data from ELE and non-ELE states, 

(2) collecting enrollment data from ELE 

and non-ELE states, (3) conducting case 

studies in ELE and non-ELE states, 

including key informant interviews and 

focus groups, (4) conducting a 51-state 

(50 states and the District of Columbia) 

survey, and (5) holding quarterly 

monitoring calls with 30 states. This 

request seeks clearance on all data 

collections except the collection of 

administrative cost and enrollment data 

for ELE states.

Service Act (PHSA)(42 U.S.C. 264) 

authorizes the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) to make and 

enforce regulations necessary to prevent 

the introduction, transmission, or 

spread of communicable diseases into 

the United States. Legislation and 

existing regulations governing the 

foreign quarantine activities (42 CFR

public’s health.

United States from a foreign port is 

required by public health law to report 

certain illnesses among passengers (42 

CFR 71.21 (b)). In addition to the
