Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is
announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention
to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), federal agencies are required to publish notice in
the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an
existing collection of information, and to allow a second opportunity
for public comment on the notice. Interested persons are invited to
send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the proper performance of the
agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected, and the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection
burden.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by
the OMB desk officer by May 31, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a> . Find this particular

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Parham at (410) 786-4669.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. The term ``collection of
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires
federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each
proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that
summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for
public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: The PACE
Organization Application Process in 42 CFR part 460; Use: The Programs
of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) consist of pre-paid,
capitated plans that provide comprehensive health care services to
frail, older adults in the community who are eligible for nursing home
care according to State standards. PACE organizations (PO) must provide
all Medicare and Medicaid covered services; financing of this model is
accomplished through prospective capitation of both Medicare and
Medicaid payments. Upon approval of a PACE application, CMS executes a
3-way program agreement with the applicant entity and the applicable
State Administering Agency (SAA). CMS regulations at 42 CFR
460.98(b)(2) require a PO to provide PACE services in at least the PACE
center, the home, and inpatient facilities. The PACE center is the
focal point for the delivery of PACE services; the center is where the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) is located, services are provided, and
socialization occurs with staff that is consistent and familiar to
participants.
Collection of this information is mandated by statute under
sections 1894(f) and 1934(f) of the Act and at 42 CFR part 460, subpart
B, which addresses the PO application and waiver process. In general,
PACE services are provided through a PO. An entity wishing to become a
PO must
[[Page 25490]]
submit an application to CMS that describes how the entity meets all
the requirements in the PACE program. An entity's application must be
accompanied by an assurance from the SAA of the State in which the PO
wishes to operate its PACE program. CMS accepts applications on a
designated date four times per year (i.e., on a quarterly basis,
generally the last Friday of March, June, September and December). Form
Number: CMS-10631 (OMB control number: 0938-1326); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public: Private Sector, State, Local or Tribal
governments, Business or other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 72;
Total Annual Responses: 130; Total Annual Hours: 7,271. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Debbie Vanhoven at 410-786-
6625.)
Dated: April 25, 2022.

Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and
Regulatory Affairs.
