                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 February 27, 2020.

                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
                [[Page 4993]]
                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: Annual Early and
                Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) Participation
                Report; Use: The collected baseline data is used to assess the
                effectiveness of state early and periodic screening, diagnostic and
                treatment (EPSDT) programs in reaching eligible children (by age group
                and basis of Medicaid eligibility) who are provided initial and
                periodic child health screening services, referred for corrective
                treatment, and receiving dental, hearing, and vision services. This
                assessment is coupled with the state's results in attaining the
                participation goals set for the state. The information gathered from
                this report, permits federal and state managers to evaluate the
                effectiveness of the EPSDT law on the basic aspects of the program.
                Form Number: CMS-416 (OMB control number 0938-0354); Frequency: Yearly
                and on occasion; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments;
                Number of Respondents: 56; Total Annual Responses: 56; Total Annual
                Hours: 1,512. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact
                Karen Matsuoka at 410-786-9726.)
                 2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
                approved collection; Title of Information Collection: PACE State Plan
                Amendment Preprint; Use: If a state elects to offer PACE as an optional
                Medicaid benefit, it must complete a state plan amendment preprint
                packet described as ``Enclosures 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.'' CMS will review
                the information provided in order to determine if the state has
                properly elected to cover PACE services as a state plan option. In the
                event that the state changes something in the state plan, only the
                affected page must be updated. Form Number: CMS-10227 (OMB control
                number: 0938-1027); Frequency: Once and occasionally; Affected Public:
                State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 7; Total
                Annual Responses: 2; Total Annual Hours: 140. (For policy questions
                regarding this collection contact Angela Cimino at 410-786-2638.)
