Abstract: This information collection is being requested in order that States can submit State Plan preprints to CMS for review and approval in order that States can implement the Health Opportunity Account alternative benefit in their Medicaid program. We will be sending a State Medicaid Director letter and State Plan preprint to States in an effort to request these changes if they so choose and to make the process as simple as possible.

Emergency Justfication: CMS is requesting that this new ICR be processed under the emergency clearance process. As stated in 5 CFR 1320.13(1)(2)(i), the agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures as a statutory deadline realted to the final rule will be missed if the normal clearance procedures are followed. This is a DRA related collection and must be in place by January 1, 2007.
