Abstract
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 clearance process by which agencies may obtain OMB's approval of collection of information requests that are "usually voluntary, low- burden, and uncontroversial," 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 may be submitted under that umbrella. This notice is intended to advise the public of our intent to extend OMB's approval of our MACPro (Medicaid and CHIP Program) umbrella and all of the individual generic collection of information requests that fall under that umbrella. This notice also provides the public with general instructions for obtaining documents that are associated with such collections and for submitting comments.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health and Human
Services.
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
clearance process by which agencies may obtain OMB's approval of
collection of information requests that are ``usually voluntary, low-
burden, and uncontroversial,'' 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 may be submitted under that
umbrella. This notice is intended to advise the public of our intent to
extend OMB's approval of our MACPro (Medicaid and CHIP Program)
umbrella and all of the individual generic collection of information
requests that fall under that umbrella. This notice also provides the
public with general instructions for obtaining documents that are
associated with such collections and for submitting comments.

caption under ``Docket Information.''
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of
information that they conduct or sponsor. The term ``collection of
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c).
Generally, it applies to voluntary and mandatory requirements that are
related to any one or more of the following activities: the collection
of information, the reporting of information, the disclose of
information to a third-party, and/or recordkeeping.
While there are some exceptions (such as collections having non-
substantive changes and collections requesting emergency approval)
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires Federal agencies to publish
60- and 30-day notices in the Federal Register and solicit comment on
each of its proposed collections of information, including: new
collections, extensions of existing collections, revisions of existing
collections, and reinstatements of previously approved collections
before submitting such collections to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.
Interested parties are invited to submit comments regarding our
burden estimates or any other aspect of the collection, including: the
necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the
proper performance of our agency's functions; the accuracy of burden
estimates; 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. See DATES and ADDRESSES for instructions
for submitting comments.
While we will review all comments received, we may choose not to
post off-topic or inappropriate comments. Otherwise, all comments will
be posted without edit under the applicable docket number, including
any personal information that the commenter provides. Our response to
such comments will be posted at <a href="http://reginfo.gov">reginfo.gov</a> under the applicable OMB
control number.
