In 2018, the NVDRS expanded by adding 10 new states and now includes all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territory health departments (56 jurisdictions). Jurisdictions are funded to abstract standard data elements from three primary data sources: Death certificates, coroner/ medical examiner records, and law enforcement records, into a web-based data entry system, supplied by CDC. The exception is for large states that have more than 2,000 violent deaths occurring per year; these states have the option to collect data in selected counties/targeted areas that represent at least 40% of all violent deaths occurring within their jurisdiction, and some may achieve statewide coverage. The goal of NVDRS is to collect state-wide data in all funded entities. No sampling methods will be employed. OMB approval is requested for three years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 41,827. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Form name Public Agencies ......................

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.
