CMS–10490 Program Integrity and
Additional State Information
Collections
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.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
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: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Program
Integrity and Additional State
Information Collections; Use: On June
19, 2013, HHS published the proposed
rule CMS–9957–P: Program Integrity:
Exchanges, SHOP, Premium
Stabilization Programs, and Market
Standards (78 FR 37302) (Program
Integrity Proposed Rule). Among other
things, the Program Integrity Proposed
Rule sets forth financial integrity
provisions and protections against fraud
and abuse. On January 30, 2013, CMS
published Eligibility Appeals and Other
Provisions Related to Eligibility and
Enrollment for Exchanges under the
Affordable Care Act (CMS–2334–P)
(E&E II Proposed Rule). On August 30,
2013, HHS published the final rule
CMS–9957–F: Program Integrity:
Exchanges, SHOP, Eligibility Appeals
(Program Integrity final rule), finalizing
a number of the provisions from the
Program Integrity and E&E II Proposed
Rules. The third party disclosure
requirements and data collections in the
Program Integrity final rule support the
oversight of qualified health plan (QHP)
issuers in Federally-facilitated
Exchanges (FFEs) and other provisions.
The data collections will assist HHS in
adjudicating eligibility appeals of
Exchange eligibility determinations, in
accordance with Federal standards.

for State Medicaid Implemented

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

uniform application process that all of
the states may follow so that CMS is
able to administer the Medicaid or

moratorium process in a standardized
and repeatable manner. This form

OMB No.: 0970–0202
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) intends to collect data
on a third cohort of children and
families for the National Survey of Child
and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW
III). NSCAW is the only source of
nationally representative, longitudinal,
firsthand information about the
functioning and well-being, service
needs, and service utilization of
children and families who come to the
attention of the child welfare system.
Information is collected about children’s
cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral,
and adaptive functioning, as well as
family and community factors that are
likely to influence their functioning.
Family service needs and service
utilization also are addressed in the data
collection.
A previous notice provided the
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed Phase 1 recruitment and
sampling process (FR V.81, 4/8/2016).
This notice is specific to the Phase 2
data collection activities: (1) baseline
and (2) 18-month follow-up data
collection. Data collection includes
child interviews and direct assessments,
as well as caregiver and caseworker
interviews. The overall goal is to
maintain the strengths and continuity of
the prior surveys while better
positioning the study to address changes
in the child welfare population.
Respondents: Children, and their
associated caregivers and caseworkers.
