Short Statement: We are revising this data collection to calculate burden for the possible, but unique occasion, where a State may request that administration of the PCIP program in their State be transitioned from HHS to the State. The original data collection was intended to be a one-time data collection. However, in the course of executing contracts and speaking with each State, there were a couple of States that expressed a potential interest to HHS in possibly administering the plan in their State in the future. This revised data collection is designed to calculate burden only in those unique instances where HHS may consider a request from a State to transition from administration by HHS to administration by a State. Accordingly, this is not an expansion of the data collection but instead a renewal of and modification for those unique circumstances that may arise between now and January 1, 2014 when the program terminates upon transition to the American Health Benefit Exchanges. Also, the requirements associted with contract acceptance, payment invoices, reporting requirements, reports of dumping, and audits are now covered under OMB control number 0938-1100.
