Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is 
announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention 
to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA), federal agencies are required to publish notice in 
the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of 
information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an 
existing collection of information, and to allow a second opportunity 
for public comment on the notice. Interested persons are invited to 
send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this 
collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1) 
The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for 
the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of 
the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology to minimize the information collection burden.

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by 
the OMB desk officer by April 27, 2016.

ADDRESSES: When commenting on the proposed information collections, 
please reference the document identifier or OMB control number. To be 
assured consideration, comments and recommendations must be received by 
the OMB desk officer via one of the following transmissions: OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: CMS Desk 
Officer, Fax Number: (202) 395-5806 OR Email: 
[email protected].

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

[[Page 17168]]

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: Revision of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid and CHIP 
Program (MACPro); Use: The MACPro system is being transitioned to 
become the system of record that will be used by both state and CMS 
officials to: Improve the state application and federal review 
processes, improve federal program management of Medicaid programs and 
CHIP, and standardize Medicaid program data. Specifically, it will be 
used by state agencies to: Submit and amend Medicaid state plans, CHIP 
state plans and ADPs (Information System Advanced Planning Documents); 
submit applications and amendments for state waivers, demonstrations, 
and benchmark and grant programs; and submit reporting data.
    Among the collections submitted for approval under MACPro will be 
relevant collections that are currently approved under our generic 
umbrella information collection request (CMS-10398; OMB control number 
0938-1148), certain collections approved as a regular stand-alone 
information collections, and upcoming collections. A list of those 
collections is included in our PRA package.
    While currently approved by OMB under the regular PRA process which 
requires 60- and 30-day comment periods, CMS is proposing to have the 
umbrella of MACPro collections approved under OMB's generic process 
which would--in most cases--eliminate the need for the 60- and 30-day 
comment periods. Although the formal 60- and 30-day public comment 
periods would be eliminated, the public may continue to comment on any 
of the MACPro collections at any time.
    Form Number: CMS-10434 (OMB control number: 0938-1188); Frequency: 
Monthly, yearly, quarterly, semi-annually, once, or occasionally; 
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of 
Respondents: 56; Total Annual Responses: 3,360; Total Annual Hours: 
96,844. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Annette 
Pearson at 410-786-6858).
