Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
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 any of the
following subjects: (1) The necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions; (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.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of
information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by September 24,
2014.
SUMMARY:
When commenting on the
proposed information collections,
please reference the document identifier
or OMB control number. To be assured
consideration, comments and
recommendations must be received by
the OMB desk officer via one of the
following transmissions:

Regulatory Affairs, Attention: CMS Desk
Officer, Fax Number: (202) 395–5806

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 a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: (CMS–1856)
Request for Certification in the Medicare
and/or Medicaid Program to Provide
Outpatient Physical Therapy and/or
Speech Pathology Services, and (CMS–
1893) Outpatient Physical Therapy—
Speech Pathology Survey Report; Use:
Form CMS–1856 is used as an
application to be completed by
providers of outpatient physical therapy
and/or speech-language pathology
services requesting participation in the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. This
form initiates the process for obtaining
a decision as to whether the conditions
of participation are met as a provider of
outpatient physical therapy, speechlanguage pathology services, or both. It
is used by the State agencies to enter
new providers into the Automated
Survey Process Environment (ASPEN).
Form CMS–1893 is used by the State
survey agency to record data collected
during an on-site survey of a provider of
outpatient physical therapy and/or
speech-language pathology services, to
determine compliance with the
applicable conditions of participation,
and to report this information to the
Federal government. The form is

primarily a coding worksheet designed
to facilitate data reduction and retrieval
into the ASPEN system. The
information needed to make
certification decisions is available to us
only through the use of information
abstracted from the form.
Form Numbers: CMS–1856 and CMS–
1893 (OMB control number: 0938–
0065); Frequency: Annually,
occasionally; Affected Public: Private
sector—Business or other for-profit and
Not-for-profit institutions; Number of
Respondents: 700; Total Annual
Responses: 700; Total Annual Hours:
613. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact James Cowher at 410–
786–1948.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Reporting
Requirements for Grants to States for
Rate Review Cycle I, Cycle II, Cycle III,
and Cycle IV and Effective Rate Review
Program; Use: Under the section 1003 of
the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (section
2794 of the Public Health Service Act),
the Secretary, in conjunction with the
states and territories, is required to
establish a process for the annual
review, beginning with the 2010 plan
year, of unreasonable increases in
premiums for health insurance
coverage. Section 2794(c) requires the
Secretary to establish the Rate Review
Grant Program to states to assist states
to implement this provision. In
addition, section 2794(c) requires the
Rate Review Grant Program to assist
states in the establishment and
enhancement of ‘‘Data Centers’’ that
collect, analyze, and disseminate health
care pricing data to the public.
Concurrent with this information
collection request (ICR), HHS released
Cycle IV of the Rate Review Grants,
‘‘Grants to States to Support Health
Insurance Rate Review and Increase
Transparency in the Pricing of Medical
Services.’’ The purpose of Cycle IV of
the Rate Review Grant Program is to
continue the rate review successes of
Cycles I, II, and III, as well as to provide
greater support to Data Centers, thereby
enhancing medical pricing
transparency. States and territories that
apply for funds are required to complete
the grant application. States and
territories that are awarded funds under
this funding opportunity are required to
provide the Secretary with rate review
data, four quarterly reports, and one
annual report per year until the end of
the grant period detailing the state’s
progression towards a more
comprehensive and effective rate review
process. A final report is due at the end
of the grant period. This information

collection is required for effective
monitoring of grantees and to fulfill
statutory requirements under section
2794(b)(1)(A) of the ACA that requires
grantees, as a condition of receiving a
grant authorized under section 2794(c),
to report to the Secretary information
about premium increases.
On May 23, 2011, CMS published a
final rule with comment period (76 FR
29964) to implement the annual review
of unreasonable increases in premiums
for health insurance coverage called for
by section 2794. Under the regulation, if
CMS determines that a state has an
Effective Rate Review Program in a
given market, using the criteria set forth
in the rule, CMS will adopt that state’s
determinations regarding whether rate
increases in that market are
unreasonable, provided that the state
reports its final determinations to CMS
and explains the bases of its
determinations. The final rule titled
‘‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act; Health Insurance Market Rules;
Rate Review’’ (78 FR 13406; February
27, 2013) amends the standards under
the Effective Rate Review Program.
Currently, CMS relies on publicly
available information and annual calls
with individual states to obtain the
information needed to evaluate whether
a state has begun to or continues to
satisfy the Effective Rate Review
Program criteria. CMS is proposing to
instead collect the information in
writing from all states that would like to
request effective status. No comments
were received in response to the 60-day
Federal Register notice published on
June 2, 2014 (79 FR 31336). Form
