information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.

to publish a 30-day notice in the

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 that summarizes
