What changed

The Department of the Treasury, through the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, has issued a notice requesting public comments on the proposed extension of the CMIA Annual Report and Direct Cost Claims information collection (OMB Number 1530-0066). This collection requires states and territories to report annual interest owed to and from the Federal government for major Federal assistance programs, which aids in verifying claims and assessing cash management practices. The current estimated burden is 393.5 hours per state, totaling 22,036 hours annually for 56 respondents.

Regulated entities, specifically states and territories, are invited to submit written comments by March 30, 2026, to ensure consideration. The comments should address the necessity, utility, accuracy of burden estimates, and potential enhancements for the collection. The agency is seeking input on minimizing respondent burden through technology and assessing associated costs. This is a standard extension of an existing collection, and the comments will inform the request for OMB approval.
