Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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.

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,
revision 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 of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Mandatory
Insurer Reporting Requirements of
Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid
and SCHIP Act of 2007; Use: The CMS

implementation of the MSP provisions
as part of its overall authority for the
Medicare program. The CMS
accomplishes this through a
combination of direct CMS action and
work by CMS’ contractors. The CMS
efforts include policy and operational
guidelines, including regulations (as
necessary), as well as oversight over
contractor MSP responsibilities. As a
result of litigation in the mid-1990’s,
certain GHP insurers were mandated to
report coverage information for a
number of years. Subsequent to this
litigation related mandatory reporting,
CMS instituted a Voluntary Data
Sharing Agreement (VDSA) effort which
expanded the scope of the GHP
participants and added some NGHP
participants. This VDSA process
complemented the IRS/SSA/CMS Data
Match reporting by employers, but
clearly did not include the universe of
primary payers and had few NGHP
participants. Both GHP and NGHP
entities have had and continue to have
the responsibility for determining when
they are primary to Medicare and to pay
appropriately, even without the
mandatory Section 111 process. In order
to make this determination, they should
already and always be collecting most of
the information CMS will require in
connection with Section 111 of the
MMSEA. Section 111 establishes
separate mandatory reporting
requirements for GHP arrangements as
well as for liability insurance (including
self-insurance), no-fault insurance, and
workers’ compensation, these may
collectively be referred to as ‘‘Non-GHP
or NGHP.’’ Form Number: CMS–10265
(OMB control number: 0938–1074);
Frequency: Yearly, Quarterly; Affected
Public: Private Sector (Business or other
for-profits); Number of Respondents:
19,248; Total Annual Responses:
5,019,248; Total Annual Hours: 557,826.
(For policy questions regarding this
collection contact John Albert at 410–
786–7457.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Add-On
Payments for New Medical Services and
Technologies Paid Under the Inpatient
Prospective Payment System; Use:
Sections 1886(d)(5)(K) and (L) of the Act
establish a process of identifying and
ensuring adequate payment for new
medical services and technologies
(sometimes collectively referred to in
this section as ‘‘new technologies’’)
under the IPPS. Section1886(d)(5)(K)(vi)
of the Act specifies that a medical

Jkt 241001
service or technology will be considered
new if it meets criteria established by
the Secretary after notice and
opportunity for public comment.
Section 1886(d)(5)(K)(ii)(I) of the Act
specifies that a new medical service or
technology may be considered for new
technology add-on payment if, ‘‘based
on the estimated costs incurred with
respect to discharges involving such
service or technology, the DRG
prospective payment rate otherwise
applicable to such discharges under this
subsection is inadequate.’’ The
regulations at 42 CFR 412.87 implement
these provisions and specify three
criteria for a new medical service or
technology to receive the additional
payment: (1) The medical service or
technology must be new; (2) the medical
service or technology must be costly
such that the DRG rate otherwise
applicable to discharges involving the
medical service or technology is
determined to be inadequate; and (3) the
service or technology must demonstrate
a substantial clinical improvement over
existing services or technologies. We
use the application in order to
determine if a technology meets the new
technology criteria. Form Number:
CMS–10638 (OMB Control Number:
0938—New); Frequency: Yearly;
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, Private sector (Business or
other for-profits and Not-for-profits
institutions; Number of Respondents:
15; Total Annual Responses: 15; Total
Annual Hours: 600. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
