part 460; Use: This information
collection addresses all operational
components of the PACE program (as
defined in 42 CFR part 460) with the
exception of the application process
(§ 460.12). We are removing the
application requirements and burden
since this CMS–R–244 package is
lengthy and we recognize that it can be

4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement with change of a
previously approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Data Collection
for Medicare Beneficiaries Receiving
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
for Primary Prevention of Sudden
Cardiac Death; Use: We provide
coverage for implantable cardioverterdefibrillators (ICDs) for secondary
prevention of sudden cardiac death
based on extensive evidence showing
that use of ICDs among patients with a
certain set of physiologic conditions are
effective. Accordingly, we consider
coverage for ICDs reasonable and
necessary under Section 1862(a)(1)(A) of
the Social Security Act. However,
evidence for use of ICDs for primary
prevention of sudden cardiac death is
less compelling for certain patients.
To encourage responsible and
appropriate use of ICDs, we issued a
‘‘Decision Memo for Implantable
Defibrillators’’ on January 27, 2005,
indicating that ICDs will be covered for
primary prevention of sudden cardiac
death if the beneficiary is enrolled in
either an FDA-approved category B IDE
clinical trial (42 CFR 405.201), a trial
under the CMS Clinical Trial Policy
(NCD Manual § 310.1) or a qualifying
prospective data collection system
(either a practical clinical trial or
prospective systematic data collection,
which is sometimes referred to as a
registry). Form Number: CMS–10151

for Medicare Facilities Performing
Carotid Artery Stenting with Embolic

Carotid Endarterectomy; Use: We
provide coverage for carotid artery
stenting (CAS) with embolic protection
for patients at high risk for carotid
endarterectomy and who also have
symptomatic carotid artery stenosis

stenosis ≥ 80 percent in accordance with
the Category B IDE clinical trials
regulation (42 CFR 405.201), a trial
under the CMS Clinical Trial Policy
(NCD Manual § 310.1, or in accordance
with the National Coverage
Determination on CAS post approval
studies (Medicare NCD Manual 20.7).
Accordingly, we consider coverage for
CAS reasonable and necessary (section
1862 (A)(1)(a) of the Social Security
Act). However, evidence for use of CAS
with embolic protection for patients
with high risk for carotid
endarterectomy and who also have
symptomatic carotid artery stenosis ≥ 70
percent who are not enrolled in a study
or trial is less compelling. To encourage
responsible and appropriate use of CAS
with embolic protection, we issued a
Decision Memo for Carotid Artery
Stenting on March 17, 2005, indicating
that CAS with embolic protection for
symptomatic carotid artery stenosis ≥ 70
percent will be covered only if
performed in facilities that have been
determined to be competent in
performing the evaluation, procedure
and follow-up necessary to ensure
optimal patient outcomes. In accordance
with this criteria, we consider coverage
for CAS reasonable and necessary
(section 1862 (A)(1)(a) of the Social
Security Act). Form Number: CMS–

6. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Conditions of
Coverage for Organ Procurement
Organizations and Supporting
Regulations; Use: Section 1138(b) of the
Social Security Act, as added by section
9318 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99–
509), sets forth the statutory
qualifications and requirements that
organ procurement organizations
(OPOs) must meet in order for the costs
of their services in procuring organs for
transplant centers to be reimbursable
under the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. An OPO must be certified and
designated by the Secretary as an OPO
and must meet performance-related
standards prescribed by the Secretary.
The corresponding regulations are

for Coverage of Specialized Services
Furnished by Suppliers) under subpart
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
G (Requirements for Certification and
Designation and Conditions for
Coverage: Organ Procurement
Organizations).
Since each OPO has a monopoly on
organ procurement within its designated
service area (DSA), we must hold OPOs
to high standards. Collection of this
information is necessary for us to assess
the effectiveness of each OPO and
determine whether it should continue to
be certified as an OPO and designated
for a particular donation service area by
the Secretary or replaced by an OPO
that can more effectively procure organs
within that DSA. Form Number: CMS–

Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; Number of Respondents:

focus on a patient-centered, outcomeoriented, and transparent processes that
promote quality patient care. The CfCs
are designed to ensure that each facility
has properly trained staff to provide the
appropriate type and level of care for
that facility and provide a safe physical
environment for patients. The CfCs are
used by Federal or state surveyors as a
basis for determining whether an ASC
qualifies for approval or re-approval
under Medicare. We, along with the
healthcare industry, believe that the
availability to the facility of the type of
records and general content of records,
which this regulation specifies, is
standard medical practice and is
necessary in order to ensure the wellbeing and safety of patients and
professional treatment accountability.

Services’ and FDA’s important mission
to protect the public health. The most
pressing challenges of the global
pharmaceutical industry require
solutions which are inspired by
collaboration to ensure the on-going
health and safety of patients. These
challenges include designing products
with the patient in mind, building
quality into the product from the
starting point, selecting the right
suppliers, and considering total product
lifecycle systems. Meeting these
challenges requires vigilance,
innovation, supply chain strategy,
relationship management, proactive
change management, and a commitment
to doing the job right the first time. FDA
has made education of the drug and
device manufacturing community a high
priority to help ensure the quality of
FDA-regulated drugs and devices.
The conference helps to achieve
objectives set forth in section 406 of the
Food and Drug Administration
Modernization Act of 1997 (21 U.S.C.
393), which includes working closely
with stakeholders and maximizing the
availability and clarity of information to
stakeholders and the public. The
conference also is consistent with the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121)
by providing outreach activities by
Government Agencies to small
businesses.
The conference includes the
following:
• Welcome Reception at the Hilton
Netherland Plaza.
• Lunch Networking by Topic.
• The Solution ‘‘Xchange’’.
• Case Studies and Small Group
Discussions.
• Action Plans.

Under the 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 requires federal agencies
to publish a 60-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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Reconciliation of
State Invoice and Prior Quarter Adjustment Statement; Use: Form CMS-304
(Reconciliation of State Invoice) is used by manufacturers to respond
to the state's rebate invoice for current quarter utilization. Form
CMS-304a (Prior Quarter Adjustment Statement) is required only in those
instances where a change to the original rebate data submittal is
necessary. Form Number: CMS-304 and -304a (OMB control number: 0938-
0676); Frequency: Quarterly; Affected Public: Business or other for-
profits; Number of Respondents: 1,037; Total Annual Responses: 4,148;
Total Annual Hours: 187,880. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Andrea Wellington at 410-786-3490.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Rebate Program Forms; Use: We develop the rebate amount per drug unit
from information supplied by the drug manufacturers and distributes
these data to the states. States then must report quarterly to the drug
manufacturers and report to us the total number of units of each dosage
form/strength of their covered outpatient drugs reimbursed during a
quarter and the rebate amount to be refunded. This report is due within
60 days of the end of each calendar quarter. The information in the
report is based on claims paid by the state Medicaid agency during a
calendar quarter. Form CMS-R-144 (Quarterly Report Data) is required
from states quarterly to report utilization for any drugs paid for
during that quarter. Form CMS-368 (Administrative Data) is required
only in those instances where a change to the original data submittal
is necessary. Form Number: CMS-368 and -R-144 (OMB control number:
0938-0582); Frequency: Quarterly; Affected Public: State, Local, or
Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 56; Total Annual Responses:
224; Total Annual Hours: 12,101. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Andrea Wellington at 410-786-3490.)
3. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: State Children's
Health Insurance Program and Supporting Regulations; Use: States must
submit title XXI plans and amendments for approval by the Secretary. We
use the plan and its subsequent amendments to determine if the state
has met the requirements of title XXI. Information provided in the
state plan, state plan amendments, and from the other information we
are collecting will be used by advocacy groups, beneficiaries,
applicants, other governmental agencies, providers groups, research
organizations, health care corporations, health care consultants.
States will use the information collected to assess state plan
performance, health outcomes and an evaluation of the amount of
substitution of private coverage that occurs as a result of the
subsidies and the effect of the subsidies on access to coverage. Form
Number: CMS-R-308 (OMB control number: 0938-0841);
[[Page 11042]]
Frequency: Yearly, Once, and Occasionally; Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 56; Total Annual
Responses: 28,294,596; Total Annual Hours: 1,473,885. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Amy Lutzky at 410-786-
0721).
4. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information
Collection: Data Collection for Medicare Beneficiaries Receiving
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators for Primary Prevention of
Sudden Cardiac Death; Use: We provide coverage for implantable
cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for secondary prevention of sudden
cardiac death based on extensive evidence showing that use of ICDs
among patients with a certain set of physiologic conditions are
effective. Accordingly, we consider coverage for ICDs reasonable and
necessary under Section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act.
However, evidence for use of ICDs for primary prevention of sudden
cardiac death is less compelling for certain patients.
To encourage responsible and appropriate use of ICDs, we issued a
``Decision Memo for Implantable Defibrillators'' on January 27, 2005,
indicating that ICDs will be covered for primary prevention of sudden
cardiac death if the beneficiary is enrolled in either an FDA-approved
category B IDE clinical trial (42 CFR 405.201), a trial under the CMS
Clinical Trial Policy (NCD Manual Sec. 310.1) or a qualifying
prospective data collection system (either a practical clinical trial
or prospective systematic data collection, which is sometimes referred
to as a registry). Form Number: CMS-10151 (OMB control number: 0938-
0967); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Business or other for-
profits, Not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 1,600;
Total Annual Responses: 80,000; Total Annual Hours: 20,000. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact JoAnna Baldwin at 410-786-
7205.)
5. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Data Collection
for Medicare Facilities Performing Carotid Artery Stenting with Embolic
Protection in Patients at High Risk for Carotid Endarterectomy; Use: We
provide coverage for carotid artery stenting (CAS) with embolic
protection for patients at high risk for carotid endarterectomy and who
also have symptomatic carotid artery stenosis between 50 percent and 70
percent or have asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis >= 80 percent in
accordance with the Category B IDE clinical trials regulation (42 CFR
405.201), a trial under the CMS Clinical Trial Policy (NCD Manual Sec.
310.1, or in accordance with the National Coverage Determination on CAS
post approval studies (Medicare NCD Manual 20.7). Accordingly, we
consider coverage for CAS reasonable and necessary (section 1862
(A)(1)(a) of the Social Security Act). However, evidence for use of CAS
with embolic protection for patients with high risk for carotid
endarterectomy and who also have symptomatic carotid artery stenosis >=
70 percent who are not enrolled in a study or trial is less compelling.
To encourage responsible and appropriate use of CAS with embolic
protection, we issued a Decision Memo for Carotid Artery Stenting on
March 17, 2005, indicating that CAS with embolic protection for
symptomatic carotid artery stenosis >= 70 percent will be covered only
if performed in facilities that have been determined to be competent in
performing the evaluation, procedure and follow-up necessary to ensure
optimal patient outcomes. In accordance with this criteria, we consider
coverage for CAS reasonable and necessary (section 1862 (A)(1)(a) of
the Social Security Act). Form Number: CMS-10199 (OMB control number:
0938-1011); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Business or other for-
profit and Not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 1,000;
Total Annual Responses: 1,000; Total Annual Hours: 500. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Sarah Fulton at 410-786-
2749.)
6. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Conditions of
Coverage for Organ Procurement Organizations and Supporting
Regulations; Use: Section 1138(b) of the Social Security Act, as added
by section 9318 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (Pub.
L. 99-509), sets forth the statutory qualifications and requirements
that organ procurement organizations (OPOs) must meet in order for the
costs of their services in procuring organs for transplant centers to
be reimbursable under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. An OPO must
be certified and designated by the Secretary as an OPO and must meet
performance-related standards prescribed by the Secretary. The
corresponding regulations are found at 42 CFR part 486 (Conditions for
Coverage of Specialized Services Furnished by Suppliers) under subpart
G (Requirements for Certification and Designation and Conditions for
Coverage: Organ Procurement Organizations).
Since each OPO has a monopoly on organ procurement within its
designated service area (DSA), we must hold OPOs to high standards.
Collection of this information is necessary for us to assess the
effectiveness of each OPO and determine whether it should continue to
be certified as an OPO and designated for a particular donation service
area by the Secretary or replaced by an OPO that can more effectively
procure organs within that DSA. Form Number: CMS-R-13 (OMB control
number: 0938-0688); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Not-for-
profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 58; Total Annual Responses:
58; Total Annual Hours: 13,546. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Diane Corning at 410-786-8486.)
7. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Ambulatory
Surgical Center Conditions for Coverage; Use: The Ambulatory Surgical
Center (ASC) Conditions for Coverage (CfCs) focus on a patient-
centered, outcome-oriented, and transparent processes that promote
quality patient care. The CfCs are designed to ensure that each
facility has properly trained staff to provide the appropriate type and
level of care for that facility and provide a safe physical environment
for patients. The CfCs are used by Federal or state surveyors as a
basis for determining whether an ASC qualifies for approval or re-
approval under Medicare. We, along with the healthcare industry,
believe that the availability to the facility of the type of records
and general content of records, which this regulation specifies, is
standard medical practice and is necessary in order to ensure the well-
being and safety of patients and professional treatment accountability.
Form Number: CMS-10279 (OMB control number: 0938-1071); Frequency:
Annual; Affected Public: Business or other for-profit and Not-for-
profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 5,500; Total Annual
Responses: 5,500; Total Annual Hours: 209,000. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Jacqueline Leach at 410-786-4282.)
