-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 11, 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

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: Hospital and 
Health Care Complex Cost Report; Use: CMS requires the Form CMS-2552-10 
to determine a hospital's reasonable cost incurred in furnishing 
medical services to Medicare beneficiaries and calculate the hospital 
reimbursement. Hospitals paid under a prospective payment system (PPS) 
may receive reimbursement in addition to the PPS for hospital-specific 
adjustments such as Medicare reimbursable bad debts, disproportionate 
share, uncompensated care, direct and indirect medical education costs, 
and organ acquisition costs. CMS uses the Form CMS-2552-10 for rate 
setting; payment refinement activities, including developing a hospital 
market basket; and Medicare Trust Fund projections; and to support 
program operations. Additionally, the Medicare Payment Advisory 
Commission (MedPAC) uses the hospital cost report data to calculate 
Medicare margins (a measure of the relationship between Medicare's 
payments and providers' Medicare costs) and analyze data to formulate 
Medicare Program recommendations to Congress. This submission seeks to 
revise the information collection request. The changes for Form CMS-
2552-10 are as follows:

<bullet> add Worksheet E-90, Payment Adjustment For Establishing And 
Maintaining Access to a Buffer Stock Of Essential Medicines
<bullet> add Worksheet E-95, Payment Adjustments For Domestic NIOSH-
Approved Surgical N-95 Respirators

Duncan at 410-786-7278.)
    2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: D-SNP Enrollee 
Advisory Committee; Use: CMS established paragraph (f) at Sec.  422.107 
under our authority at section 1856(b)(1) of the Act to establish in 
regulation other standards not otherwise specified in statute that are 
both consistent with Part C statutory requirements and necessary to 
carry out the MA program and our authority at section 1857(e) of the 
Act to adopt other terms and conditions not inconsistent with Part C as 
the Secretary may find necessary and appropriate. MA organizations with 
D-SNPs would use the information collected from enrollees in the 
enrollee advisory committee to help identify and address barriers to 
high-quality, coordinated care for enrollees. Any collection of 
information directly from MA organizations offering a D-SNPs
