SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In the FR Doc. E7-23746 of December 7, 2007 (72 FR 69218), we
published a Paperwork Reduction Act notice requesting a 30-day public
comment period for the document entitled ``State Plan Template to
Implement Section 6062 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005.''
In the date December 7, 2007 notice, we inadvertently included
information pertaining to another new collection (CMS-10251).
Therefore, we are correcting that error in this notice.
II. Correction of Error
In FR Doc. E7-23746 of December 7, 2007 (72 FR 69218), make the
following correction:
On page 69218, first column, second full paragraph beginning with
the phrase ``1. Type of Information Collection'' and ending with figure
``600'' is corrected to read as follows:
``1. Type of Information Collection Request: New Collection; Title
of Information Collection: State Plan Template to Implement Section
6062 of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005; Use: The DRA provides
States with numerous flexibilities in operating their State Medicaid
Programs. Section 6062 of the DRA (Opportunity for families of Disabled
Children to Purchase Medicaid Coverage for Such Children) allows States
the opportunity to provide Medicaid benefits to disabled children who
would otherwise be ineligible because of family income that is above
the State's highest Medicaid eligibility standards for children. It
specifically allows families with disabled children to ``buy-in'' to
Medicaid, and prevents them from having to stay impoverished, become
impoverished, place their children in out-of-home placements, or simply
give up custody of their child in order to access needed health care
for their disabled children.
Under the DRA, States must submit a SPA to CMS to effectuate this
change to their Medicaid programs. CMS will provide a State Medicaid
Director letter providing guidance on this provision and the associated
SPA template for use by States to modify their Medicaid State Plans if
they choose to implement this provision. Providing the State with this
SPA template will reduce State burden significantly. Form Numbers: CMS-
10232 (OMB : 0938-NEW); Frequency: Reporting--Once; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 56;
Total Annual Responses: 30; Total Annual Hours: 600.
Dated: December 26, 2007.
