OMB is concerned
that CMS has failed to comply with previous terms of clearance with
regard to this collection. The agency's Application for Access to
CMS Computer Systems and accompanying Security Requirements for
Users of CMS's Computer Systems have not been submitted for OMB
review, in violation of the PRA. This collection is being given an
abbreviated clearance so that OMB may more closely monitor
compliance with the PRA.
