collection for the proper performance of

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 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: Revision of currently approved
collection; Title of Information
Collection: Medicare Self-Referral
Disclosure Protocol; Use: The SelfReferral Disclosure Protocol (SRDP) is a
voluntary self-disclosure instrument
that allows providers of services and
suppliers to disclose actual or potential
violations of section 1877 of the Act. We
analyze the disclosed conduct to
determine compliance with section
1877 of the Act and the application of
the exceptions to the physician selfreferral prohibition. In addition, the
authority granted to the Secretary under
section 6409(b) of the ACA, and
subsequently delegated to CMS, may be
used to reduce the amount due and
owing for violations.
We are now seeking to further revise
the currently approved collection.
Specifically, we are: (1) Creating an
optional expedited SRDP review process
(the ‘‘Expedited SRDP Review Process’’)
for disclosures that meet certain
eligibility requirements; (2) continuing
the established SRDP review process
(the ‘‘Standard SRDP Review Process’’)
for other disclosures; and (3) revising
the estimated burden hours based on
our experience administering the SRDP
over the past three years.
