CMS Opens Public Comment on Information Collection Activities Under Paperwork Reduction Act

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has published a Federal Register notice announcing an opportunity for public comment on proposed information collection activities under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice covers proposed extensions or reinstatements of existing data collection requirements and invites comments on burden estimates, necessity and utility of the collections, accuracy of burden estimates, and ways to enhance data quality or reduce collection burden through automation. Comments are being solicited as part of CMS's statutory obligation to provide a second public comment period before submitting information collection requests to the Office of Management and Budget for approval. This is a routine administrative notice; specific collections subject to comment are not detailed in the provided text.
