The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a public comment opportunity on their plan to collect information, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This process involves publishing a notice for any new information collection requests, extensions, or reinstatements, and giving the public a chance to comment. The information collection being discussed is related to Section 1115 Demonstration Projects, where states must comply with specific requirements to obtain waiver authority, including public notices and reports. Interested parties can send comments on the estimated burden or any other aspect of these collections by March 5, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid want people to tell them what they think about some forms they are planning to use, just like when a teacher asks for feedback on a class project. They do this to make sure collecting information is not too hard for everyone and to learn how to make it better.
