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 May 18, 2023.
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: Minimum Data Set
3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed Prospective Payment System (PPS) For the
collection of data related to the Patient Driven Payment Model and the
Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (QRP); Use: We are
requesting to implement to the MDS 3.0 v1.18.11 beginning October 1,
2023 to October 1, 2026 in order to meet the requirements of policies
finalized in the Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Skilled Nursing Facility
(SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) final rule (84 FR 38728). The
compliance date for the finalized policies (10/01/2020) was delayed due
to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). While there has been no
change in assessment-level burden since the approval of the MDS 3.0
v1.17.2, there has been a change in total burden since 2019 when the
package was originally approved due to a decrease in the number of MDS
assessments completed and a change in the hourly rate for clinicians
completing the assessment.
We use the MDS 3.0 PPS Item Set to collect the data used to
reimburse skilled nursing facilities for SNF-level care furnished to
Medicare beneficiaries and to collect information for quality measures
and standardized patient assessment data under the SNF QRP. There have
been some revisions to the assessment tool since the approval of MDS
3.0 vl.17.2. Form Number: CMS-10387 (OMB control number: 0938-1140);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents:
15,472; Total Annual Responses: 3,371,993; Total Annual Hours:
2,866,194. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact
Heidi Magladry at 410-786-6034).
