Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call (404) 639–7570 or send an
email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395–5806.
Written comments should be received
within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
CDC Early Hearing Detection and
Intervention Hearing Screening and
Follow-up Survey (OMB No. 0920–
0733, Expiration 06/30/2013)—
Reinstatement with Change—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center on Birth Defects
and Developmental Disabilities at CDC
promotes the health of babies, children,
and adults with disabilities. As part of
these efforts the Center is actively
involved in addressing hearing loss (HL)
among newborns and infants. HL is a
common birth defect that affects
approximately 12,000 infants each year
and, when left undetected, can result in
developmental delays. As awareness
about infant HL increases, so does the
demand for accurate information about
rates of screening, referral, loss to
follow-up, and prevalence. This
information is important for helping to
ensure infants and children are
receiving recommended screening and
follow-up services, documenting the
occurrence of differing degrees of HL
among infants, and assessing progress
towards national goals. These data will
also assist state Early Hearing Detection
and Intervention (EHDI) programs with
quality improvement activities and
provide information that will be helpful
in assessing the impact of federal
initiatives. The public will be able to
access this information via the CDC
EHDI Web site (www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/
hearingloss/ehdi-data.html).
Given the lack of a standardized and
readily accessible source of data, the
CDC EHDI program developed a survey
to be used annually that utilizes
uniform definitions to collect aggregate,
standardized EHDI data from states and
territories. The request to complete this
survey is planned to be disseminated to
respondents via an email, which will
include a summary of the request and
other relevant information. Minor
changes to this survey, based on
respondent feedback, are planned in
order to make the survey easier to
complete and further improve data
quality. These changes include splitting
the previously combined question about
the number of infants that were nonresidents or moved out of jurisdiction
into two separate questions and adding
new questions. These include questions
about how many infants were in a
neonatal intensive care unit for more
than 5 days, transferred without any
documentation of a hearing screening,
unable to be screened or receive
diagnostic testing due to a medical
reason, number of cases where a
primary care physician did not refer an
infant for diagnostic testing, and cases
of permanent hearing loss among nonresident infants. The table for reporting
type and severity of hearing loss data
has also been updated so this data can
be reported using either the
classification system from the American
Speech and Hearing Association or the
current system from the Directors of
Speech and Language Programs in State
Health and Welfare Agencies.
A total of 59 respondents will be
asked to complete the updated data
request each year during the 3-year
requested data collection approval
timeframe. Based on findings from the
previous information collection, it is
estimated that the burden for
individuals to read through the survey
and decide whether or not to complete
it is 10 minutes per person. The 10
minute calculation was based on
feedback received in pre-tests with 5
individuals and confirmed by the
experience with the survey since the
original Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval.
It is expected that 55 of the 59
potential respondents will complete the
survey and therefore incur an additional
burden of up to 4 hours per respondent.
However, based on feedback from
consulted experts about the length of
time required to complete the original
information collection, it is anticipated
that it will only take some respondents
a few minutes to complete the revised
data request. This is because
jurisdictions often have already
gathered and compiled the requested
data for their own internal uses.
Nevertheless, the more conservative
time estimate of 4 hours per response
from each of the 55 anticipated
participants is shown in the table below.
This estimate is identical to the time
estimate for the reinstated OMB
approved estimate from 2010; the only
change is the estimated number of
respondents. There are no costs to the
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden is 230
hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
CMS–10486 Health Care Sharing
Ministries Information Collection
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
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.

Sharing Ministries Information
Collection; Use: In order to facilitate the
provision of an exemption for
membership in a health care sharing
ministry to the members of such
ministry, we specify in § 155.615(c)(2)
that an organization that believes that it
meets the statutory standards to be
considered a health care sharing
ministry will submit certain information
to HHS. We are aware of four
organizations that have made public
statements regarding their status as a
health care sharing ministry, and so
have estimated burden for four entities.
The burden associated with this process
includes the time for the organization to
collect and input the necessary
information, maintain a copy for
recordkeeping by clerical staff, for a
manager and legal counsel to review it
and for a senior executive to review and
sign it. The information would be
submitted to CMS electronically at
minimal cost. Form Number: CMS–
10486 (OCN: 0938–NEW); Frequency:
Once, Yearly; Affected Public: Private
sector—not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 4; Number of
Responses: 4; Total Annual Hours: 4.25.
