Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Webinars
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.
Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (request for a
new OMB control number). Title of
Information Collection: Medicaid and
CHIP Program (MACPro). Use:
Medicaid, authorized by Title XIX of the
Social Security Act and, CHIP,
reauthorized by the Children’s Health
Insurance Program Reauthorization Act
of 2009 (CHIPRA), play an important
role in financing health care for
approximately 48 million people
throughout the country. By 2014, it is
expected that an additional 16 million
people will become eligible for
Medicaid and CHIP as a result of the
Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148).
In order to implement the statute, CMS
must provide a mechanism to ensure
timely approval of Medicaid and CHIP
State plans, waivers and demonstrations
and provide a repository for all
Medicaid and CHIP program data that
supplies data to populate
AGENCY:
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Healthcare.gov and other required
reports. Additionally, 42 CFR 430.12
sets forth the authority for the submittal
and collection of State plans and plan
amendment information. Pursuant to
this requirement, CMS has created the
MACPro system.
Generally, MACPro will be used by
both State and CMS officials to: Improve
the State application and Federal review
processes, improve Federal program
management of Medicaid programs and
CHIP, and standardize Medicaid
program data. More specifically, it will
be used by State agencies to (among
other things): (1) Submit and amend
Medicaid State Plans, CHIP State Plans,
and Information System Advanced
Planning Documents, and (2) submit
applications and amendments for State
waivers, demonstration, and benchmark
and grant programs. It will be used by
CMS to (among other things): (1)
Provide for the review and disposition
of applications, and (2) monitor and
track application activity.
This system will be operational in
phases, beginning with this first phase
or Phase 1, MACPro will include the
following three authorities: State Plan
and CHIP Eligibility, Alternative
Benchmark plans, and 1115 Waiver
Demonstration portions/modules to be
implemented before January 1, 2013.
A paper-based version of the MACPro
instrument would be sizable and time
consuming for interested parties to
follow as a paper-based instrument. In
our effort to provide the public with the
most efficient means to make sense of
the MACPro system, we will be
conducting four webinars in lieu of
including a paper-based version of
MACPro on CMS’ PRA-related Web site.
The webinars will be held:
1. June 13, 2012, from 1 to 3 p.m. EST.
2. June 20, 2012, from 1 to 3 p.m. EST.
3. June 27, 2012, from 1 to 3 p.m. EST.
4. July 11, 2012, from 1 to 3 p.m. EST.
Please note that the webinars will be
recorded by CMS and can be accessed
by the public at https://
www.medicaid.gov/State-ResourceCenter/Events-and-Announcements/
Events-and-Announcements.html at any
time during the duration of the public
comment period. Each webinar will
present the most current MACPro
information so they are not expected to
be identical. No login or password is
needed.
Form Number: CMS–10434 (OCN
0938–New). Frequency: Annual and
once. Affected Public: State, Local, or
Tribal Governments. Number of
Respondents: 56. Total Annual
Responses: 15. Total Annual Hours:
15,736 (or 5,245 hr for each of the three
authorities). (For policy questions
