Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    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, is 
publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public 
comment. 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.
    Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently 
approved collection;
    Title of Information Collection: Quarterly Medicaid Statement of 
Expenditures for the Medical Assistance Program.
    Form Nos.: HCFA-64, 64.21, 64.21U, 64.21P, 64.21UP, 64EC, 64.21E, 
64.9, 64.10, 64.10P, 64.11a, 64.9d;
    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

[[Page 39584]]

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.

forms, see below:
