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 30, 2025.
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: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information
Collection: End Stage Renal Disease Annual Facility Survey Form; Use:
The Program Management and Medical Information System (PMMIS) collects
provider-specific and aggregate patient population data on ESRD
beneficiaries treated by dialysis and transplant providers. Each
facility certification/survey record represents one provider. The CMS-
2744 captures certification and other information about ESRD facilities
approved by Medicare to provide kidney dialysis and transplant
services. Additionally, the CMS-2744 captures activities performed
during the calendar year, as well as aggregate year-end population
counts for both Medicare beneficiaries and non-Medicare patients. The
data elements include basic provider information such as provider
certification and type of ownership; aggregated dialysis patient data
such as the number of patients,
[[Page 23055]]
number of deaths, and number of patients receiving different types of
dialysis; dialysis treatment data; kidney transplant data such as
number of transplants, type of transplants, and number of patients
awaiting transplants; and the total number of each method used to
obtain kidneys for transplants. The CMS-2744 collects data on
hemodialysis patients dialyzing, vocational rehabilitation, and
staffing. The accuracy of the Facility Survey depends on complete
reporting by each facility.
Modifications to the CMS-2744 are (a) collection of days the
dialysis facility is open; (b) shifts dialysis is provided; (c) adding
``failed'' to ``return after transplant'' for clarity; (d) removing
questions related to vocational rehabilitation; and (e) aligning
instructions with revisions. Form Number: CMS-2744 (OMB control number:
0938-0447); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Business or other for-
profit, Not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 7,726;
Total Annual Responses: 7,726; Total Annual Hours: 15,452. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Christina Goatee at 410-
786-6689.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection (Request
for a new OMB control number); Title of Information Collection: Service
Level Data Collection for Initial Determinations and Appeals; Use: The
Part C and D Reporting Requirements, as set forth in Sec. Sec.
422.516(a) and 423.514(a), provide CMS with the ability to collect more
granular data related to all plan activities regarding adjudicating
requests for coverage and plan procedures related to making service
utilization decisions. This includes collecting more timely data with
greater frequency or closer in real-time.
The proposed data elements listed in the Technical Specifications
document in this proposed PRA would provide key data to CMS on the
utilization of benefits, enhance audit activities to ensure plans are
operating in accordance with CMS guidelines, and ensure appropriate
access to covered services and benefits.
CMS staff will use this information to monitor health plans and to
hold them accountable for their performance. CMS users include group
managers, division managers, branch managers, account managers, and
researchers.
Health plans can use this information to measure and benchmark
their performance. CMS receives inquiries from the industry and other
interested stakeholders about beneficiary access to the items,
services, and drugs, including service level data for initial
determinations and appeals, and other factors pertaining to use of
government funds, as well the performance of MA plans. Form Number:
CMS-10905 (OMB control number: 0938-New); Frequency: Quarterly;
Affected Public: Private Sector, Business or other for-profits, Not
for-profits and Federal Government State, Local; Number of Respondents:
728; Number of Responses: 2,912; Total Annual Hours: 728. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Sabrina Edmonston at 410-
786-3209 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c390a2a1b1aaada2eda6a7aeacadb0b7acad83a0aeb0edababb0eda4acb5"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="95c6f4f7e7fcfbf4bbf0f1f8fafbe6e1fafbd5f6f8e6bbfdfde6bbf2fae3">[email protected]</span></a>).
