This information
collection request is approved consistent with CMS' e-mail memo of
4/4/2002 and telephone discussions on 4/3, 4/4 & 4/5/2002. As
agreed, this clearance covers use of all of the CMS-64 expenditure
forms, including the 64.9I & 64.10I forms as submitted.
However, the "I" forms are only cleared for the collection of
additional expenditure information on supplemental and school-based
payments. If CMS wishes to collect expenditure data on any
additional types of payments, CMS must request OMB approval of a
revision to this collection that incorporates the additional
requirements and burden. The burden associated with this collection
has been adjusted to include that of the 5 "I" forms already
developed. Additional terms of clearance include: (1) CMS must
ensure that the OMB number and expiration date are displayed on the
initial data entry screen for this collection (2) CMS must add the
PRA burden statement, updated to include the burden of the "I"
forms and (3) CMS must provide OMB with copies of the revised
burden screens by 4/26/02. As discussed on 4/5/02, CMS is using the
CMS-64 I forms for the information collection requirements
associated with the Upper Payment Limit regulations, which were
approved under OMB #0938-0855. For that reason, CMS does not plan
to renew approval for that collection upon its expiration in
05/2002. CMS will ensure that future submissions of this package
document its use for compliance with UPL regulations Finally, OMB
notes that CMS began use of the CMS-64 I forms for obtaining
information on school-based claiming prior to receipt of OMB
approval, in violation of the PRA. The violation will be documented
in OMB's next Information Collection Budget.
