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. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

December 2, 2024.

Generic Information Collection 

1. Title of Information Collection: 3.1– 

M State Plan Amendment (SPA) 

Templates for Eligible Juveniles Who 

are Inmates of a Public Institution; Type 

of Information Collection Request: New 

information collection request 

information request; Use: Section 5121 

of the Consolidated Appropriation Act 

of 2023 (CAA, 2023) creates a new 

mandate for states by amending section 

1902(a)(84) of the Social Security Act 

(the Act) (42 U.S.C. 1396a) to require 

states to provide specific screening and 

diagnostic services and targeted case 

management (including referrals) in the 

30 days prior to release from 

incarceration, and targeted case 

management (TCM) (including referrals) 

for at least 30 days post release for 

eligible juveniles who are inmates of a 

public institution, post adjudication. 

The requirements are effective January 

1, 2025. 

To comply with the amendments 

states must submit a Medicaid SPA 

attesting that the state has developed an 

internal operation plan, and in 

accordance with such plan, will provide 

coverage during the statutory pre- and 

post-release period of screening, 

diagnostic, and TCM services for 

eligible juveniles who are within 30 

days of release post adjudication. 

States have the option to lift the 

Medicaid inmate payment and CHIP 

eligibility exclusions and provide 

coverage of pre-release Medicaid and 

CHIP services (for electing states) and 

makes available federal matching funds 

for the full breadth of Medicaid and 

CHIP benefits to eligible juveniles who 

are incarcerated and pending 

disposition of charges. States selecting 

this state plan option must provide to 

eligible juveniles all mandatory and 

optional services to which they are 

otherwise entitled under the state plan. 

During the period when an eligible 

juvenile is incarcerated and pending 

disposition of charges, this is essentially 

a full lifting of the Medicaid inmate 

payment exclusion and CHIP eligibility 

exclusion. States cannot choose to 

provide a limited array of state plan 

services under this option. An 

operational plan is not required for this 

state option. 

For states that wish to elect the option 

in section 5122 of the CAA, 2023, states 

should submit a SPA attesting to CMS 

that they are also electing coverage for 

any Medicaid or CHIP state plan 

services for eligible juveniles pending 

disposition of charges to which the 

beneficiary would otherwise be entitled, 

if not for their incarceration status.
