Information Collection Activities:
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request

Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On May 28, 2010, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
guidance 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
