The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting public comments on its plan to collect information, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This process involves a 60-day comment period, allowing people to share their thoughts on the collection methods and its impact, necessity, and utility. The notice outlines information collections related to the Affordable Care Act and the No Surprises Act, and provides details such as the number of respondents and anticipated annual hours required. Comments can be submitted electronically or by mail, and further information can be found on the CMS website.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services wants to know what people think about how they plan to collect information from them—like a big group homework project where everyone can say if they like, don't like, or have ideas to make it better. They're giving people 60 days to share their thoughts, and anyone can send their ideas either online or by mail.
