The Centers for Medicare &

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.

information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by September 23,
2016.
ADDRESSES: When commenting on the
proposed information collections,
please reference the document identifier
or OMB control number. To be assured
consideration, comments and
recommendations must be received by

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 a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Report of a
Hospital Death Associated with
Restraint or Seclusion; Use: Executive
Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, was signed on
January 18, 2011. The order recognized
the importance of a streamlined,
effective, and efficient regulatory
framework designed to promote
economic growth, innovation, job
creation, and competitiveness. Each
agency was directed to establish an
ongoing plan to reduce or eliminate
burdensome, obsolete, or unnecessary
regulations to create a more efficient
and flexible structure.
The regulation that was published on
May, 16, 2012 (77 FR 29034) included
a reduction in the reporting requirement

related to hospital deaths associated
with the use of restraint or seclusion,
§ 482.13(g). Hospitals are no longer
required to report to CMS those deaths
where there was no use of seclusion and
the only restraint was 2-point soft wrist
restraints. It is estimated that this will
reduce the volume of reports that must
be submitted by 90 percent for
hospitals. In addition, the final rule
replaced the previous requirement for
reporting via telephone to CMS, which
proved to be cumbersome for both CMS
and hospitals, with a requirement that
allows submission of reports via
telephone, facsimile or electronically, as
determined by CMS. Finally, the
amount of information that CMS needs
for each death report in order for CMS
to determine whether further on-site
investigation is needed has been
reduced.
The Child Health Act (CHA) of 2000
established in Title V, Part H, Section
591 of the Public Health Service Act
(PHSA) minimum requirements
concerning the use of restraints and
seclusion in facilities that receive
support with funds appropriated to any
Federal department or agency. In
addition, the CHA enacted Section 592
of the PHSA, which establishes
minimum mandatory reporting
requirements for deaths in such
facilities associated with use of restraint
or seclusion. Provisions implementing
this statutory reporting requirement for
hospitals participating in Medicare are
found at 42 CFR 482.13(g), as revised in
the final rule that published on May 16,
2012 (77 FR 29034). Form Number:

Affected Public: Private Sector; Number

Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title: Medicare
Program: Procedures for Making
National Coverage Decisions; Use: We
revised our April 27, 1999 (64 FR

notice on September 26, 2003 (68 FR

use to make Medicare coverage
decisions including decisions regarding
whether new technology and services
can be covered. We have made changes
to our internal procedures in response
to the comments we received following
publication of the 1999 notice and
experience under our new process. Over
the past several years, we received
numerous suggestions to further revise
our process to continue to make it more
