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 3, 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: Extension of currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Independent
Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTFs) Site Investigation Collection;
Use: The purpose of the site investigation is to ensure that the IDTF
is in compliance with the provisions of 42 CFR 410.33, as well as all
other applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations. It is
also used to verify the information the IDTF furnished on its CMS-855B
enrollment application. Sections 1814(a), 1815(a), and 1833(e) of the
Act require the submission of information necessary to determine the
amounts due to a provider or other person. To fulfill this requirement,
CMS must collect information on any IDTF supplier who submits a claim
to Medicare or who applies for a Medicare billing number before
allowing the IDTF to enroll. This information must, minimally, clearly
identify the provider and its' place of business as required by CFR
424.500 (Requirements for Establishing and Maintaining Medicare Billing
Privileges) and provide all necessary documentation to show they are
qualified to perform the services for which they are billing. The site
inspection form allows inspectors to verify the information using a
standardized information collection methodology. Form Number: CMS-10221
(OMB control number: 0938-1029); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected
Public Sector: Private Sector (Business or other for-profits and Not-
for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 652; Total Annual
Responses: 652; Total Annual Hours: 1,304. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Alisha Sanders at 410-786-0671).
Dated: May 26, 2023.

Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and
Regulatory Affairs.
