(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each

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

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,

(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; Form Number:

OMB is required to decide concerning
the collection of information between 30
and 60 days after publication of this
document in the Federal Register.
Therefore, a comment is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The IRG is a centralized
and automated repository of State and
Tribal profiles that contains high-level
descriptions of each CSA program.
These profiles provide State, Tribal, and
foreign country CSAs with an effective
and efficient method for updating and
accessing information needed to process
intergovernmental child support cases.
Revisions are proposed as a result of
feedback from respondents suggesting
changes, recommendations from the
program team, or from the program team
workgroup of interested partners. The
workgroup is engaged to evaluate the
efficacy of the instruments. Specifically,
the following changes are proposed:
• Minor edits to change Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) to
Office of Child Support Services
(OCSS).
• Edits to the State profile based on
recommendations that were received
but not implemented in 2022 when the
current version of the profile went
through the OMB approval process.
OCSS has an overview of those
recommendations and OCSS responses
available upon request.
• Edits to clarify the State profile
questions to make it easier for
