The State Medicaid Agencies will
complete the template. CMS will review the information to determine
if the state has met all the requirements under 1932(a)(1)(A) and
42 CFR 438.50. Once the all the requirements are met, the state
will be allowed to enroll Medicaid beneficiaries on a mandatory
basis into managed care entities without section 1115 or 1915(b)
waiver authority.

Despite the number of revisions
made to the document, the burden remains the same. While some
questions requiring descriptive responses were added, many were
deleted and others were put into simpler “check box” tables and
questions. We believe the additional and reduced burden are
balanced and result in no net change. Based on more recent data we
are adjusting the number of responses from 15/year to 12/year. The
result is a burden decrease of -15 hours. As indicated, our per
response time estimates are unchanged.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
