CDC does not accept comments by email. ACTION: Notice. Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Generic Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request On May 28, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) guidance 1 related to the ‘‘generic’’ clearance process. Generally, this is an expedited process by which agencies may obtain OMB’s approval of collection of information requests that are ‘‘usually voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial collections,’’ do not raise any substantive or policy issues, and do not require policy or methodological review. The process requires the submission of an overarching plan that defines the scope of the individual collections that would fall under its umbrella. On October 23, 2011, OMB approved our initial request to use the generic clearance process under control number 0938–1148 (CMS–10398). It was last approved on April 26, 2021, via the standard PRA process which included the publication of 60- and 30-day Federal Register notices. The scope of the April 2021 umbrella accounts for Medicaid and CHIP State plan amendments, waivers, demonstrations, and reporting. This Federal Register notice seeks public comment on one or more of our collection of information requests that we believe are generic and fall within the scope of the umbrella. Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding our burden estimates or any other aspect of this collection of information, including: The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency’s functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected, and the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. DATES: Comments must be received by June 1, 2021. ADDRESSES: When commenting, please reference the applicable form number (see below) and the OMB control number (0938–1148). To be assured consideration, comments and recommendations must be submitted in any one of the following ways: 1. Electronically.

Background CDC has commissioned the Pacific Northwest Evidence-Based Practice Center at Oregon Health and Science University to conduct a systematic review of the publicly available scientific literature for ME/CFS (systematic review). Once finalized, the systematic review report is intended to support the anticipated development of future agency clinical practice guidelines. The anticipated CDC guideline would assist physicians and other clinicians by outlining management practices for caring for patients with ME/CFS. Public comment may inform the final systematic review report and may be used to inform development of a clinical guideline and related materials, which would help clinicians diagnose and treat patients with ME/CFS.

These collections allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between ACF and its customers and stakeholders. They also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health and Human

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) guidance \1\ related to the 
``generic'' clearance process. Generally, this is an expedited process 
by which agencies may obtain OMB's approval of collection of 
information requests that are ``usually voluntary, low-burden, and 
uncontroversial collections,'' do not raise any substantive or policy 
issues, and do not require policy or methodological review. The process 
requires the submission of an overarching plan that defines the scope 
of the individual collections that would fall under its umbrella. On 
October 23, 2011, OMB approved our initial request to use the generic 
clearance process under control number 0938-1148 (CMS-10398). It was 
last approved on April 26, 2021, via the standard PRA process which 
included the publication of 60- and 30-day Federal Register notices. 
The scope of the April 2021 umbrella accounts for Medicaid and CHIP 
State plan amendments, waivers, demonstrations, and reporting. This 
Federal Register notice seeks public comment on one or more of our 
collection of information requests that we believe are generic and fall 
within the scope of the umbrella. Interested persons are invited to 
submit comments regarding our burden estimates or any other aspect of 
this collection of information, including: The necessity and utility of 
the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the 
agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to 
enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be 
collected, and the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection 
burden.
