Emergency Clearance: Public
Information Collection Requirements
Submitted to the Office of Management

Notice.
The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on an information collection
concerning CMS’ Healthy Indiana
Program (HIP) 2.0 Beneficiaries Survey.
We are also announcing that the
proposed information collection had
been submitted to OMB and was
approved under control number 0938–
1300 through September 30, 2016. In
accordance with the implementing
regulations of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA) at 5 CFR 1320.13, our
information collection request (ICR) was
submitted to OMB for emergency
processing. We requested emergency
review under 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(i)
because public harm is reasonably likely
to result if the normal clearance
procedures were followed.
Following the regular PRA clearance
process would jeopardize the timely
completion of CMS’ evaluation of the
State’s upcoming non-emergency
medical transportation (NEMT) waiver
and other important waivers. Most
importantly, it would potentially cause
significant harm by depriving Medicaid
beneficiaries—especially those affected
by the NEMT waiver—of appropriate
medical services and needed care.
Although we have already received
OMB approval to test and develop the
survey instruments, we are soliciting
public comment during the testing and
development phase to meet the
conditions of OMB’s Terms of
Clearance. Importantly, CMS will
provide the public with another
opportunity to comment, via a 30-day
public comment period, prior to the
implementation phase of this effort.
Under the PRA, federal agencies are
required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed ICR. Interested persons are
invited to send comments regarding our
burden estimates or any other aspect of
this ICR, including any of the following
subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of
the proposed ICR 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.
DATES:
Comments must be received by
April 8, 2016.
ADDRESSES: When commenting, please
reference the document identifier or
OMB control number. To be assured

This notice sets out a summary of the

CMS–10615 Healthy Indiana Program
(HIP) 2.0 Beneficiaries Survey
Under the 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. In
compliance with the requirement of
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, we
submitted to OMB the following
requirements for emergency approval.
OMB approved the emergency ICR on
March 21, 2016, with an expiration date
of September 30, 2016.

Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Healthy Indiana
Program (HIP) 2.0 Beneficiaries Survey;
Use: Approval for testing and
developing the survey is vital to
adequately inform CMS decision
making regarding Section 1115 Waivers,
in particular the State’s upcoming
NEMT waiver due for renewal by
December 1, 2016. The NEMT benefit
provides transportation for Medicaid
beneficiaries who otherwise have no
means of transportation to get to and
from medical services. The Healthy
Indiana Program (HIP) 2.0
demonstration provides authority for
the State to not offer NEMT for the new
adult group during the first year of the
demonstration (except for pregnant
women and individuals determined to
be medically frail). CMS may extend the
State’s authority, subject to evaluation
of the impact of this policy on access to
care. Form Number: CMS–10615 (OMB
control number: 0938–1300); Frequency:
Once; Affected Public: Individuals and
households; Number of Respondents:
36; Total Annual Responses: 36; Total
Annual Hours: 36. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Teresa
DeCaro at 202–384–6309).
Written comments and
recommendations will be considered
from the public if received by the date
and address noted above.
