The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that they are seeking public feedback on their plan to collect information from the public. This is part of the requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which mandates federal agencies to inform the public about any data collection plans and allow for comments. CMS is particularly interested in receiving comments on the necessity, utility, and methods of minimizing the information collection burden. Comments are open until January 2, 2025, and more information can be accessed on the CMS PRA website.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services want to know what people think about their plan to ask for information from the public, like doing a survey, to help them do their job better. They're inviting everyone to share their thoughts on how they can make this information-gathering easy and useful.
