The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), part of the Health and Human Services Department, is seeking public comments on a new information collection process to ease administrative burdens. This notice explains how agencies can quickly obtain approval for voluntary, low-burden information requests through a "generic" clearance process provided by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). CMS encourages feedback on their proposed collections to improve their efficiency and accuracy. Public comments are due by December 27, 2024, and can be submitted electronically or by mail.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services wants people to tell them what they think about a new, easier way to ask for information that wonβt take much time or be complicated. They want to make sure they're doing it in the best way, and people can tell them what they think until December 27, 2024.
