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 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.

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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Following is a summary of the use and burden associated with the

(see ADDRESSES).
Generic Information Collection
1. Title of Information Collection: Section 1115 Reentry
Demonstration Initiative; Type of Information Collection Request: New
information collection request; Use: On April 17, 2023, CMS released a
State Medicaid Directors Letter (SMDL #23-003) announcing a
demonstration opportunity to support community reentry and improve care
transitions for individuals who are incarcerated and who are otherwise
eligible for Medicaid to receive medical assistance under title XIX.
The Section 1115 Reentry Demonstration Opportunity (hereinafter, ``the
Reentry Demonstration Initiative'') will allow states to offer coverage
for certain pre-release services for up to 90 days prior to the
individual's expected release date that could not otherwise be covered
by Medicaid due to the Medicaid inmate exclusion policy. The provision
is consistent with section 5032 of the Substance Use Disorder
Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and
Communities Act (SUPPORT Act) (Pub. L. 115-271), ``Promoting State
Innovations to Ease Transitions Integration to the Community for
Certain Individuals.''
States applying for the Reentry Demonstration Initiative must
provide a minimum set of pre-release services called the ``pre-release
benefit package.'' The benefit package aims to improve transitions for
individuals being released from jails or prisons and returning to their
communities. The benefit package must include: (1) case management to
assess and address physical and behavioral health needs and health-
related social needs; and (2) medication-assisted treatment services
for all types of substance use disorders as clinically appropriate,
with accompanying counseling. Also required in the minimum set of
services is a 30-day supply of all prescription medications that have
been prescribed for the beneficiary.
This collection of information request includes three templates
that are intended to expedite CMS's review of reentry demonstration
initiative applications and to support state implementation planning
and related transparency by standardizing the presentation of key
information necessary for approvals, thereby reducing rounds of
clarifying questions with state applicants. The three templates include
the: (1) reentry demonstration initiative preprint, (2) reentry
implementation plan template, and (3) reentry budget neutrality
formulation workbook. The templates are strongly encouraged but
optional and described in the following section.
Form Number: CMS-10398 #86 (OMB control number: 0938-1148);
Frequency: Annual and on occasion; Affected Public: State, Local, or
Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 10; Total Annual Responses:
30; Total Annual Hours: 300. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact: Raven Smith at 410-786-3731.)
