Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 160 / Thursday, August 18, 2016 / Notices
rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
60-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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection of information
(Request for new OMB control number);
Title of Information Collection: Initial
Request for State Implemented
Moratorium Form; Use: CMS
promulgated 42 CFR 424.570 in order to
comply with that statute, which requires
that prior to implementing state
Medicaid moratoria the state Medicaid
agency must notify the Secretary in
writing, including all of the details of
the moratoria, and obtain the Secretary’s
concurrence with the imposition of the
moratoria. The above regulation is
promulgated from 1866 (j)(7) of the
Social Security Act, which allows for
the imposition of temporary
moratorium. The Initial Request for
State Medicaid Implemented
Moratorium, named the ‘‘Initial Request
for State Medicaid Implemented
Moratorium’’ was created to collect that
data, in a uniform manner, which the
states report to CMS when they request
a moratorium. Currently, CMS is
collecting this data on an ad-hoc basis,
however this process needs to be
standardized so that moratoria decisions
are being made based on the same
criteria each time.
The goal of the Initial Request for
State Medicaid Implemented
Moratorium form is to provide a
uniform application process that all of
the states may follow so that CMS is
able to administer the Medicaid or
Children’s Health Insurance Program
moratorium process in a standardized
and repeatable manner. This form
creates a standardized process so that
moratoria decisions are being made with
the same criteria each time. Form
Number: CMS–10628 (OMB control
number: 0938–NEW); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments; Number
of Respondents: 15; Total Annual
Responses: 15; Total Annual Hours: 75.
(For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Belinda Gravel at
410–786–8934).
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Report
on Payables and Receivables; Use:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:05 Aug 17, 2016
Jkt 238001
Collection of CHIP data and the
calculation of the CHIP Incurred But
Not Reported (IBNR) estimate are
pertinent to CMS’ financial audit.
Section 2105 of the Social Security Act
(Title XXI) requires the Secretary to
estimate the amount each State should
be paid at the beginning of each quarter.
This amount is based on a report filed
by the State. Section 2105 of the Social
Security Act authorizes the Secretary to
pay the amount estimated, reduced or
increased to the extent of any
overpayment or underpayment for any
prior quarter. Section 3515 of the CFO
Act requires government agencies to
produce auditable financial statements
in accordance with Office of
Management and Budget guidelines on
Form and Content. The Government
Management and Reform Act of 1994
requires that all offices, bureaus and
associated activities of the 24 CFO Act
agencies must be covered in an agencywide, audited financial statement.
Collection of CHIP data and the
calculation of the CHIP Incurred But
Not Reported (IBNR) estimate are
pertinent to CMS’ financial audit. The
CHIP Report on Payables and
Receivables will provide the
information needed to calculate the
CHIP IBNR. Failure to collect this
information could result in noncompliance with the law. Program
expenditures for the CHIP have
increased since its inception; as such,
CHIP receivables and payables may
materially impact the financial
statements. The CHIP Report on
Payables and Receivables will provide
the information needed to calculate the
CHIP IBNR.; Form Number: CMS–10180
(OMB control number: 0938–0988);
Frequency: Reporting—Annually;
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
governments; Number of Respondents:
56; Total Annual Responses: 56; Total
Annual Hours: 392. (For policy
questions regarding this collection

7806.)
