This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Notice; reopening of comment period.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is reopening the comment period for a limited time for a collection of information notice that published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2026. The notice is entitled “Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Generic Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request”. CMS is taking this action to address an inadvertent issue with posting one of the collection's revised templates (S89—Citizenship and Noncitizen Eligibility) under Medicaid State Plan Eligibility. While the April 22 notice provided the public with 14-days to comment, we are reopening the comment period for 12 days—the duration of the inaccurate posting.
The comment period for the notice that published on April 22, 2026 (91 FR 21505) is reopened. Comments must be received by May 26, 2026.
When commenting, please reference the applicable form number (CMS-10434 #15) and the OMB control number (0938-1188). To be assured consideration, comments and recommendations must be submitted in any one of the following ways:
1. Electronically. You may send your comments electronically to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for “Comment or Submission” or “More Search Options” to find the information collection document(s) that are accepting comments.

On April 22, 2026 (91 FR 21505), CMS published a notice in the Federal Register that requested comment from interested parties on the revision of an active collection of information that had been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under control number 0938-1188 (CMS-10434 #15) entitled “Medicaid State Plan Eligibility”. The notice provided a 14-day comment period, which closed on May 6, 2026.
CMS is reopening the comment period to address an inadvertent issue with posting one of the collection's revised State Plan templates (RU S89—Citizenship and Noncitizen Eligibility (version 04_2026)). This iteration proposes substantive changes to the template that are related to section 71109 of the Working Families Tax Cut (WFTC) legislation which limits federal financial participation (FFP) for full Medicaid coverage, with limited exceptions, to individuals who are U.S. citizens or nationals or in only three groups of noncitizens, including lawful permanent residents (LPRs), Cuban/Haitian entrants, or COFA (Compact of Free Association) migrants, who CMS refers to as “FFP-eligible noncitizens.”
While the April 22 notice provided the public with 14-days to comment, we are reopening the comment period for 12 days—the duration of the inaccurate posting. This action will allow interested parties additional time to review all of the collection of information materials and prepare/submit comments. CMS is reopening the comment period as indicated in the DATES section of this notice. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact: Abby Kahn at 410-786-4321.)
