Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health and Human
Services (HHS).
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 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 on the collection(s) of information must be received by
the OMB desk officer by June 10, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Parham at (410) 786-4669.
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
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 Managed
Care Regulations; Use: Information collected includes information about
managed care programs, grievances and appeals, enrollment broker
contracts, and managed care organizational capacity to provide health
care services. Medicaid enrollees use the information collected and
reported to make informed choices regarding health care, including how
to access health care services and the grievance and appeal system.
States use the information collected and reported as part of its
contracting process with managed care entities, as well as its
compliance oversight role. We use the information collected and
reported in an oversight role of state Medicaid managed care programs.
Among the proposed changes, this iteration also accommodates the
use of reporting templates for existing reporting requirements at 42
CFR 438.207(d) for network adequacy and access and Sec. 438.74 for
medical loss
[[Page 28831]]
ratio. The templates are intended to help states by articulating the
specific data elements needed and by providing an easy to use format
that facilitates CMS' tracking and analysis. The data gathered from
these reports will enable CMS to ensure state compliance with
regulatory requirements. Form Number: CMS-10108 (OMB control number:
0938-0920); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals or
households, Private sector (business or other for-profit and not-for-
profit institutions), and State, local or Tribal Government; Number of
Respondents: 609; Total Annual Responses: 13,742,805; Total Annual
Hours: 1,682,411. (For policy questions regarding this collection
contact Amy Gentile at 410-786-3499.)
Dated: May 5, 2022.

Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and
Regulatory Affairs.
