Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Generic
Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health and Human

ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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 September 8, 2025.
ADDRESSES: When commenting, please reference the applicable form number
(CMS-10434 #__) and the OMB control number (0938-1188). To be assured
