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. 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
December 20, 2024.
ADDRESSES: When commenting, please
reference the applicable form number
(CMS–10398 #84) and the OMB control
number (0938–1148). To be assured

supporting statement and associated
materials (see ADDRESSES).
Generic Information Collection
1. Title of Information Collection:
PACE Medicaid Capitation Rate Setting
Guide; Type of Information Collection
Request: New information collection
request information request; Use: The
Program of All-inclusive Care for the
Elderly (PACE) is a fully integrated
Medicare program and Medicaid state
plan option that provides communitybased care and services to individuals
aged 55 or older who meet a state’s
nursing home level of care criteria.
PACE organizations must provide all
Medicare and Medicaid covered
services. The financing of this model is
accomplished through prospective
capitation of both Medicare and
Medicaid payments.
The PACE Medicaid Capitation Rate
Setting Guide provides technical
assistance to states for their PACE rate
setting, and the information to include
when submitting rate packages to CMS
for review and approval. The guide also
includes a template cover sheet to be
used by states for their rate package
submissions as streamlined submission
forms which will improve the efficiency
of CMS reviews.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies
to publish a 30-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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement without change
of a previously approved collection;
Title of Information Collection: Patient
Access through Application
Programming Interfaces (API); Use: This
final rule is the first phase of policies
centrally focused on advancing
interoperability and patient access to
health information using the authority
available to the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS). We believe
this is an important step in advancing
interoperability, putting patients at the
center of their health care, and ensuring
they have electronic access to their
health information. We are committed
to working with stakeholders to solve
the issue of interoperability and getting
patients access to information about
their health care, and we are taking an
active approach to move participants in
the health care market toward
interoperability and the secure and

timely exchange of electronic health
information by adopting policies for the
Medicare and Medicaid programs, the
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP), and qualified health plan (QHP)
issuers on the individual market
Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs).
For purposes of this rule, references to
QHP issuers on the FFEs excludes
issuers offering only stand-alone dental
plans (SADPs). Likewise, we are also
excluding QHP issuers only offering
QHPs in the Federally-facilitated Small
Business Health Options Program
Exchanges (FF–SHOPs) from the
provisions of this rule. This rule
requires these impacted payers to
maintain and use standards-based APIs
to make certain information available to
enrollees. CMS regulations at 42 CFR
417.414, 417.416, 422.112(a)(1)(i), and
422.114(a)(3)(ii) require that all
Medicare Advantage organizations
(MAOs) offering coordinated care plans,
network-based private fee-for-service
(PFFS) plans, and as well as section
1876 cost organizations, maintain a
network of appropriate providers that is
sufficient to provide adequate access to
covered services to meet the needs of
the population served. To enforce this
requirement, CMS regulations at
§ 422.116 outline network adequacy
criteria which set forth the minimum
number of providers and maximum
travel time and distance from enrollees
to providers, for required provider
specialty types in each county in the
United States and its territories.
Organizations must be in compliance
with the current CMS network adequacy
criteria guidance, which is updated and
published annually on CMS’s website.
This collection of information is
essential to appropriate and timely
compliance monitoring by CMS, in
order to ensure that all active contracts
offering network-based plans maintain
an adequate network.
This notice originally published on
August 22, 2024 (89 FR 67943), but CMS
was delayed in submitting it to OMB.
For that reason, we are republishing this
notice and the associated information
collection request will be submitted
upon to OMB upon publication of this
notice. Form Number: CMS–10767
