Emergency Clearance: Public Information Collection Requirements 
Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Health Care Financing 
Administration (HCFA), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the 
following request for Emergency review. We are requesting an emergency 
review because the collection of this information is needed prior to 
the expiration of the normal time limits under OMB's regulations at 5 
CFR, Part 1320. The Agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal 
clearance procedures because of the need for States to report financial 
and related statistical information pursuant to the operation of their 
Medicaid programs, under title XIX of the Social Security Act, and 
their Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIP) under title XXI of 
the Act. States will begin reporting information after the end of the 
third quarter of Federal fiscal year 1998 (after June 30, 1998). 
Without the capacity for States to report this information discussed 
below, the States and HCFA will not be able to properly implement the 
provisions enacted by the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997 related to 
the CHIP.
    HCFA is requesting OMB review and approval of this collection 
within eleven working days, with a 180-day approval period. Written 
comments and recommendations will be accepted from the public if 
received by the individual designated below, within ten working days of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
    During this 180-day period HCFA will pursue OMB clearance of this 
collection as stipulated by 5 CFR 1320.5.
(1) Type of Information Collection Request: New Collection;
    Title of Information Collection: Children's Health Insurance 
Program (CHIP) Budget and Expenditure System State Reporting Forms.
    Form Nos.: HCFA-21, 21B, 21P, 21.11A, 21E;
    Use: These forms will be used by State CHIP agencies to report CHIP 
program budget projections and actual CHIP program benefits and 
administrative expenditures, and the numbers of children being served 
in the CHIP program, to the Health Care Financing Administration 
(HCFA). The information provided by these new forms will be used by 
HCFA to prepare the grant awards to States for the CHIP, to ensure that 
the appropriate level of Federal payments for State expenditures under 
the CHIP are made in accordance with the CHIP-related BBA legislative 
provisions of 1997, and to track, monitor, and evaluate the numbers of 
children being served by the CHIP.

    Note: At this time Form HCFA-21E of this package is for States 
to report the numbers of children, by service delivery system, that 
are served in the States' CHIPs based on age categories. However, we 
are continuing to work with the States to develop an appropriate 
format for States to report the numbers of children, by service 
delivery system, that are served in the CHIP based on Federal 
poverty income level categories and under the age categories 
previously requested. When this format is finalized it will be 
incorporated into Form HCFA-21E.

    For a short description of the CHIP reporting forms, see below:

Insurance Program Statement of Expenditures for Title XXI Summary

    Use: These new forms are revisions of the currently approved 
collection report Form HCFA-64. These forms will be used by State 
Medicaid agencies to report their actual CHIP-related Medicaid 
expenditures and the numbers of CHIP-related children, and other 
children being served in the Medicaid program, to the Health Care 
Financing Administration(HCFA). The forms will be used by the HCFA to 
ensure that the appropriate level of Federal payments for the State's 
CHIP-related Medicaid program expenditures are made in accordance with 
the CHIP and related Medicaid provisions of the BBA of 1997, and to 
track, monitor, and evaluate the numbers of CHIP-related children and 
other individuals being served by the Medicaid program.

    Note: At this time Forms HCFA-64.21E and HCFA-64EC of this 
package are for States to report the numbers of CHIP-related 
children and other children, by service delivery system, that are 
served in States' Medicaid programs based on age categories. 
However, we are continuing to work with the States to develop an 
appropriate format for States to report the numbers of children, by 
service delivery system, that are served in the States' Medicaid 
programs based on Federal poverty income level categories and under 
the age categories previously requested. When this format is 
finalized it will be incorporated into Forms HCFA-21E and HCFA-64EC.
