The purpose of this request is to
obtain an extension to OMB's approval of the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements contained in rules at 45 CFR Part 95,
Subpart F. These rules pertain to state requests for HHS approval
of federal financial participation (FFP) in the costs of ADP
systems, equipment and services which support states'
administration of HHS' public assistance programs. These include
Annual and As-Needed Advance Planning Documents, Request for
Proposal (RFP) and contract submissions for prior Federal approval,
emergency requests, service agreements and biennial security
reports. A final rule making significant changes to the underlying
regulation at 45 CFR Part 95 would reduce the information
collection burden. The final rule is anticipated to be published in
Nov-December 2010 timeframe.
There is a program change
caused by the submission threshold being raised; however, there
were no adjustments. The revisions are related to publication of a
final rule on APD reform. Downward revisions in the information
collection burden were made for the worksheets for APD and
RFP/Contracts. Those downward revisions were due to the fact that
the submission thresholds were significantly raised, the authority
to request exemptions for prior approval were strengthened and the
APDU for maintenance and operation was reduced to 3 topic areas not
to exceed two pages. There were no changes to the worksheets for
service agreements, emergency funding and security.
