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 July 25, 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: Reinstatement without
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information
Collection: Federally Qualified Health Center Cost Report Form; Use:
The Form CMS-224-14 cost report is needed to determine a provider's
reasonable cost incurred in furnishing medical services to Medicare
beneficiaries and to calculate the FQHC settlement amount. These
providers, paid under the FQHC prospective payment system (PPS), may
receive reimbursement outside of the PPS for Medicare reimbursable bad
debts, pneumococcal, influenza, and COVID-19 vaccines, and monoclonal
antibody products. CMS uses the Form CMS-224-14 for rate setting;
payment refinement activities, including developing a FQHC market
basket; Medicare Trust Fund projections; and to support program
operations. Additionally, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission
(MedPAC) uses the FQHC Medicare cost report data to calculate Medicare
margins; to formulate recommendations to Congress regarding the FQHC
PPS; and to conduct additional analysis of the FQHC PPS. Form Number:
CMS-224-14 (OMB control number: 0938-1298); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Private Sector, State, Local, or Tribal Governments, Federal
Government, Business or other for-profits, Not-for-Profit Institutions;
Number of Respondents: 2,890; Total Annual Responses: 2,890; Total
Annual Hours: 167,620. (For policy questions regarding this collection
contact LuAnn Piccione at 410-786-5423.)
Dated: June 21, 2022.
