Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health and Human
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 June 21, 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
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

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: Outcome and
Assessment Information Set OASIS-E; Use: This request is for OMB
approval to modify the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS)
that home health agencies (HHAs) are required to collect in order to
participate in the Medicare program. The current version of the OASIS,
OASIS-D (0938-1279) data item set was approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) on December 6, 2018 and implemented on
January 1, 2019. We are seeking OMB approval for the proposed revised
OASIS item set, referred to hereafter as OASIS-E, scheduled for
implementation on January 1, 2023. The OASIS-E includes changes
pursuant to the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act
of 2014 (the IMPACT Act); and, to accommodate data element removals to
reduce burden; and improve formatting throughout the document.
Subsequent to publishing the 60-day Federal Register notice (87 FR
7457), we removed the GG activity items from the Follow-Up time point
which resulted in a decrease in the burden hours. Form Number: CMS-
10545 (OMB control number: 0938-1279); Frequency: Occasionally;
Affected Public: Private Sector (Business or other for-profit and Not-
for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 11,354; Total Annual
Responses: 18,030,766; Total Annual Hours: 13,012,051. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Joan Proctor at 410-786-
0949).
Dated: May 16, 2022.
William N. Parham, III,
Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and
Regulatory Affairs.
