Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
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. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (request for a
new OMB control number). Title of

to Assess Access Issues for Specific
Medicare Beneficiaries as Defined in
Section 3131(d) of the ACA. Use: This
collection is part of a study called for
under section 3131(d) of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA). The study is focused on two
major issues: (1) supporting CMS’ efforts
to improve payment accuracy and (2)
understanding issues of access for the
ACA populations under the existing
home health prospective payment
system. The study team’s analytic plan
focuses on understanding payment
accuracy for the specific study
populations through claims and cost
data analyses, which will reflect
payments and costs for patients who
have gained access to home health care.
In order to understand access issues for
the ACA defined populations, the study
team proposes using survey instruments
to better understand the characteristics
of Medicare beneficiaries who are not
able to gain access to or have
experienced delays in gaining access to
home health services.
As a new collection, the information
collected is expected to support CMS’
efforts to improve the home health
prospective payment system payment
accuracy for vulnerable populations and
thereby ensure the payment system does
not inadvertently cause avoidable access
problems. The questions are designed to
provide insights into access issues for
vulnerable populations that cannot be
learned through analyses of
administrative data.
Form Number: CMS–10429 (OCN:
0938–New). Frequency: Once. Affected
Public: Private Sector (business or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions).
Number of Respondents: 875. Total

The evaluation study title is Parents and
Children Together (PACT).
A 60-Day Federal Register Notice was

baseline survey (including an
introductory script and the baseline
survey itself), and (b) site Management

This information collection request is
specific to Responsible Fatherhood
programs that may be evaluated
(requests specific to Healthy Marriage
programs will be separate). The baseline
survey will collect data related to such
domains as father involvement,
coparenting, parenting, marriage and
romantic relationships, and
employment. The information from the
baseline survey will be used by ACF for,
among other things, describing the
populations served and determining the
comparability of program and control
groups. Information on participant
entry, participation, and exit from the
program will be entered into the MIS
system.
Respondents: Baseline information
will be collected from all fathers prior
to random assignment; the introductory
script will be read by program staff to
