Notice.
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 any of the
following subjects: (1) The necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(4) 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 October 5, 2015.
ADDRESSES: When commenting on the
proposed information collections,
please reference the document identifier

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 without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Hospice Survey
and Deficiencies Report Form and
Supporting Regulations; Use: We use
the information collected as the basis for
certification decisions for hospices that
wish to obtain or retain participation in
the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The information is used by CMS
regional offices, which have the
delegated authority to certify Medicare
facilities for participation, and by State
Medicaid agencies, which have
comparable authority under Medicaid.
The information on the Hospice Survey
and Deficiencies Report Form is coded
for entry into the OSCAR system. The
data is analyzed by the CMS regional
offices and by the CMS central office
components for program evaluation and
monitoring purposes. The information is
also available to the public upon
request. Form Number: CMS–643 (OMB
control number: 0938–0379); Frequency:
Yearly; Affected Public: State, Local, or
Tribal Governments; Number of
Respondents: 3,976; Total Annual
Responses: 1,325; Total Annual Hours:
1,325. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Annette Snyder
at 410–786–0807.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:57 Sep 03, 2015
Jkt 235001
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Generic
Clearance for the Heath Care Payment
Learning and Action Network; Use: The
Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), through the Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Innovation,
develops and tests innovative new
payment and service delivery models in
accordance with the requirements of
section 1115A and in consideration of
the opportunities and factors set forth in
section 1115A(b)(2) of the Act. To date,
CMS has built a portfolio of 26 models
(in operation or already announced) that
have attracted participation from a
broad array of health care providers,
states, payers, and other stakeholders.
During the development of models,
CMS builds on ideas received from
stakeholders—consulting with clinical
and analytical experts, as well as with
representatives of relevant federal and
state agencies.
On January 26, 2015, Secretary
Burwell announced the ambitious goal
to have 30% of Medicare Fee-ForService payments tied to alternative
payment models (such as Pioneer ACOs
or bundled payment arrangements) by
the end of 2016, and 50% of payments
by the end of 2018. To reach this goal,
CMS will continue to partner with
stakeholders across the health care
system to catalyze transformation
through the use of alternative payment
models. To this end, CMS launched the
Health Care Payment Learning and
Action Network, an effort to accelerate
the transition to alternative payment
models, identify best practices in their
implementation, collaborate with
payers, providers, consumers,
purchasers, and other stakeholders, and
monitor the adoption of value-based
alternative payment models across the
health care system. A system wide
transition to alternative payment models
will strengthen the ability of CMS to
implement existing models and design
new models that improve quality and
decrease costs for CMS beneficiaries.
The information collected from LAN
participants will be used by the CMS
Innovation Center to potentially inform
the design, selection, testing,
modification, and expansion of
innovative payment and service
delivery models in accordance with the
requirements of section 1115A, while
monitoring progress towards the
Secretary’s goal to increase the
percentage of payments tied to
alternative payment models across the
U.S. health care system. In addition, the
requested information will be made
publically available so that LAN
participants (payers, providers,
consumers, employers, state agencies,

and patients) can use the information to
inform decision making and better
understand market dynamics in relation
to alternative payment models. Form
