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 June 9, 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,
[[Page 28015]]
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: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Notice of
Research Exception under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act;
Use: Under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008
(GINA), a plan or issuer may request (but not require) a genetic test
in connection with certain research activities so long as such
activities comply with specific requirements, including: (i) The
research complies with 45 CFR part 46 or equivalent federal regulations
and applicable State or local law or regulations for the protection of
human subjects in research; (ii) the request for the participant or
beneficiary (or in the case of a minor child, the legal guardian of
such beneficiary) is made in writing and clearly indicates that
compliance with the request is voluntary and that non-compliance will
have no effect on eligibility for benefits or premium or contribution
amounts; and (iii) no genetic information collected or acquired will be
used for underwriting purposes. The Secretary of Labor or the Secretary
of Health and Human Services is required to be notified if a group
health plan or health insurance issuer intends to claim the research
exception permitted under Title I of GINA. Nonfederal governmental
group health plans and issuers solely in the individual health
insurance market or Medigap market will be required to file with the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The Notice of Research
Exception under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act is a
model notice that can be completed by group health plans and health
insurance issuers and filed with either the Department of Labor or CMS
to comply with the notification requirement. Form Number: CMS-10286,
OMB control number: 0938-1077; Frequency: On Occasion; Affected Public:
Private Sector; State, Local or Tribal governments; Number of
Respondents: 2; Total Annual Responses: 2; Total Annual Hours: 1. (For
policy questions regarding this collection contact Usree Bandyopadhyay
at 410-786-6650)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: The PACE
Organization (PO) Monitoring and Audit Process in 42 CFR part 460; Use:
Sections 1894(e)(4) and 1934(e)(4) of the Act and the implementing
regulations at 42 CFR 460.190 and 460.192 state that CMS, in
conjunction with the State Administering Agency (SAA), must oversee a
PACE organization's continued compliance with the requirements for a
PACE organization.
The data collected with the data request tools included in this
package allow CMS to conduct a comprehensive review of PACE
organizations' compliance in accordance with specific federal
regulatory requirements. The information gathered during this audit
will be used by the Medicare Parts C and D Oversight and Enforcement
Group (MOEG) within the Center for Medicare (CM), as well as the SAA,
to assess POs' compliance with PACE program requirements. If outliers
or other data anomalies are detected, other offices within CMS will
work in collaboration with MOEG for follow-up and resolution.
Additionally, POs will receive the audit results, and will be required
to implement corrective action to correct any identified deficiencies.
Form Number: CMS-10630 (OMB control number: 0938-1327); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector, State, Local, or Tribal
Governments and Business or other for-profit institutions; Number of
