ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare &

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 October 21, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent

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: Section 1915(c) 

Home and Community-Based Services 

Waivers and Supporting Regulations; 

Use: We use this report to compare 

actual data to the approved waiver 

estimates. In conjunction with the 

waiver compliance review reports, the 

information provided will be compared 

to that in the Medicaid Statistical 

Information System (MSIS) (CMS–R– 

284; OMB control number: 0938–0345) 

report and FFP claimed on a State’s 

Quarterly Expenditure Report (CMS–64; 

OMB control number: 0938–1265), to 

determine whether to continue the 

State’s home and community-based 

services waiver. States’ estimates of cost 

and utilization for renewal purposes are 

based upon the data compiled in the 

CMS–372(S) reports. Form Number: 

CMS–372(S) (OMB control number: 

0938–0272); Frequency: Yearly; Affected 

Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments; Number of Respondents: 

47; Total Annual Responses: 259; Total 

Annual Hours: 11,396. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Transformed—

(T–MSIS); Use: The data reported in T– 

MSIS are used by Federal, State, and 

local officials, as well as by private 

researchers and corporations to monitor 

past and projected future trends in the 

Medicaid program. The data provide the 

only national level information 

available on enrollees, beneficiaries, and 

expenditures. It also provides the only 

national level information available on 

Medicaid utilization. The information is 

the basis for analyses and for cost 

savings estimates for the Department’s 

cost sharing legislative initiatives to 

Congress. The collected data are also 

crucial to our actuarial forecasts. Form 

Number: CMS–R–284 (OMB control 

number: 0938–0345); Frequency: 

Quarterly and monthly; Affected Public: 

State, Local, or Tribal Governments;
