In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Department of Health and Human Services, has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) the following proposals for the collection
of information. Interested persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of
information, including any of the following subjects: (1) the necessity
and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.

However, Section V of final rule OMC-10 neglected to denote that the

referenced in OMC-10 would also be submitted to OMB as part of the

extensive cooperative effort with the American Association of Health
Plans, State Medicaid Agency representatives, and the Medicaid Managed
Care Technical Advisory group. Therefore, we are correcting this
oversight and are requesting comment on the forms and supporting
regulations. These forms are available for inspection on the HCFA
