In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Health and Human Services, is publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this 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 function; (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. 1.

Title of Information Collection: Certification as a Supplier of Portable X-Ray and Portable X-Ray Survey Report Form and Supporting Regulations at 42 CFR Part 486.100–486.110. Use: CMS–1880 is initially completed by suppliers of portable X-ray services, expressing an interest in and requesting participation in the Medicare program. This form initiates the process of obtaining a decision as to whether the conditions of coverage are met as a portable X-ray supplier. It also promotes data reduction or introduction to, and retrieval from, the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) by the CMS Regional Offices (ROs).

The form is primarily a coding worksheet designed to facilitate data reduction and retrieval into the ASPEN system at the CMS ROs. The form includes basic information on compliance (i.e., met, not met, explanatory statements) and does not require any descriptive information regarding the survey activity itself. CMS has the responsibility and authority for certification decisions which are based on supplier compliance with the applicable conditions of participation. The information needed to make these decisions is available to CMS only through the use of information abstracted from the survey report form. Subsequent to the publication of the 60-day Federal Register notice (December 23, 2011; 76 FR 80372), the Supporting Statement has been revised by making editorial changes and by adding clarifying language. The requirements and burden estimates have not changed. Form Numbers: CMS–1880 (Request for Certification as a Supplier of Portable X-Ray Services), CMS–1882 (Medicare/Medicaid Portable X-Ray Survey Report), and OCN 0938–0027. Frequency: Occasionally. Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments. Number of Respondents: 579. Total Annual Responses: 86. Total Annual Hours: 151. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Georgia Johnson at 410–786– 6859. For all other issues call 410–786– 1326.) 2. Type of Information Collection Request: Existing collection in use without an OMB control number; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Beneficiary and Family-Centered Satisfaction Survey; Use: The data collection methodology used to determine Beneficiary Satisfaction flows from the proposed sampling approach. While it was feasible to conduct the 9th SOW via telephone data collection only, with a quarterly sample size for the 10th SOW estimated to be 2,664, it does not seem efficient to maintain a telephone only data collection approach. Based on recent literature on survey methodology and response rates by mode, we recommend using a data collection that is done primarily by mail. A mail-based methodology will achieve the goals of being efficient, effective, and minimally burdensome for beneficiary respondents. As previously described, we anticipate that a mail-based methodology could yield a response rate E:\FR\FM\13MRN1.SGM 13MRN1
