[Document Identifier: CMS-10388]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS.

    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 
Services (CMS) is publishing the following summary of proposed 
collections 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.
    1. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection; Title of 
Information Collection: Section 1115 Demonstration HIV and AIDS 
Application Template; Use: Section 1115 of the Social Security Act (the 
Act) allows the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human 
Services (the Secretary) to waive selected provisions of section 1902 
of the Act for experimental, pilot, or demonstration projects 
(demonstrations), and to provide Federal Financial Participation (FFP) 
for demonstration costs which would not otherwise be considered as 
expenditures under the Medicaid State plan, when the Secretary finds 
that the demonstrations are likely to assist in promoting the 
objectives of Medicaid. While some States have applied for section 1115 
demonstrations, many have not because the process is long and often 
tenuous. The purpose of the application template is to streamline the 
process by collecting the minimally acceptable amount of information 
required to appropriately review a demonstration request. The template 
will minimize the amount of time the State spends preparing a 
demonstration request and it should shorten the review process because 
the required information should be present. Form
