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 December 12, 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

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: New collection (Request
for a new OMB control number); Title: Supplemental to Form CMS-2552-10;
Payment Adjustment for Domestic NIOSH-Approved Surgical N95
respirators; Use: This supplemental form supports the policy goal of
ensuring that quality PPE is available to health care personnel when
needed by maintaining production levels of wholly domestically-made
PPE, a policy goal emphasized in the National Strategy for a Resilient
Public Health Supply Chain, published in July 2021 as a deliverable of
President Biden's Executive Order 14001 on ``A Sustainable Public
Health Supply Chain.'' The supplemental form calculates a payment
adjustment for an 1886(d) hospital and/or a hospital paid for
outpatient services under the hospital outpatient prospective payment
system (OPPS) purchasing domestic NIOSH-approved surgical N95
respirators (domestic respirators) effective for cost reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2023. A hospital eligible for the
payment adjustment must complete this supplemental form and submit the
form with its Medicare cost report that covers the same cost reporting
period.

Register on November 3, 2022, and is scheduled for publication on
