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

CMS announced a Federal Register notice seeking 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 feedback on burden estimates, necessity of the collections, and ways to reduce reporting burden through automation or other means. Comments are being solicited during the OMB review period. This is a routine procedural notice that may affect MCO reporting requirements if specific collections relate to managed care data submissions.
