ACTION: Notice of FTR Bulletin 15–02,
Calendar Year (CY) 2015 Privately
Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage
Reimbursement Rates and Standard
Mileage Rate for Moving Purposes
(Relocation Allowances).
AGENCY:
The General Services
Administration’s (GSA) annual privately
owned vehicle (POV) mileage
reimbursement rate reviews have
resulted in new CY 2015 rates for the
use of privately owned automobiles
(POAs), POAs when a Government
owned automobile (GOA) is authorized,
privately owned motorcycles, and
privately owned airplanes for official
purposes. Additionally, the POV rate
used in conjunction with official
relocation will change. FTR Bulletin 15–
02 establishes the new CY 2015 POV
mileage reimbursement rates for official
temporary duty and relocation travel
($0.575 for POAs, $0.23 for POAs when
a GOA is authorized, $0.545 for
privately owned motorcycles, $1.29 for
privately owned airplanes, and $0.23 for
moving purposes), pursuant to the
process discussed below. This notice of
subject bulletin is the only notification
to agencies of revisions to the POV
mileage rates for official travel and
relocation other than the changes posted
on GSA’s Web site. GSA determines
these rates by reviewing the annual
standard automobile study contracted
for by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), as well as conducting
independent automobile, motorcycle
and aircraft studies that evaluate various
factors, such as the cost of fuel, the
depreciation of the original vehicles
costs, maintenance and insurance, and/
or by applying consumer price index
data.
SUMMARY:
Effective: December 30, 2014.
Applicability: This notice applies to
travel performed on or after January 1,
2015 through December 31, 2015.

extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow

Jkt 235001
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:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
ACTION:
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 January 29, 2015.
ADDRESSES: 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:
OMB, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Attention: CMS Desk
Officer, Fax Number: (202) 395–5806 or
Email: OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov.

1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Fee-for-Service
Recovery Audit Prepayment Review
Demonstration and Prior Authorization
Demonstration; Use: On July 23, 2012,
the Office of Management and Budget
approved the collections required for
two demonstrations of prepayment
review and prior authorization. The first
demonstration allows Medicare
Recovery Auditors to review claims on
a pre-payment basis in certain States.
The second demonstration established a
prior authorization program for Power
Mobility Device claims in certain States.
For the Recovery Audit Prepayment
Review Demonstration, CMS and its
agents request additional
documentation, including medical
records, to support submitted claims. As
discussed in more detail in Chapter 3 of
the Program Integrity Manual,
additional documentation includes any
medical documentation, beyond what is
included on the face of the claim that
supports the item or service that is
billed. For Medicare to consider
coverage and payment for any item or
service, the information submitted by
the provider or supplier (e.g., claims)
must be supported by the
documentation in the patient’s medical
records. When conducting complex
medical review, the contractor specifies
documentation they require in
accordance with Medicare’s rules and
policies. In addition, providers and
suppliers may supply additional
documentation not explicitly listed by
the contractor. This supporting
information may be requested by CMS
and its agents on a routine basis in
instances where diagnoses on a claim do
not clearly indicate medical necessity,
or if there is a suspicion of fraud.
For the Prior Authorization of Power
Mobility Devices (PMDs)
Demonstration, we are piloting prior
authorization for PMDs. Prior
authorization will allow the applicable
documentation that supports a claim to
be submitted before the item is
delivered. For prior authorization,
relevant documentation for review is
submitted before the item is delivered or
the service is rendered. CMS will
conduct this demonstration in
California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan,
New York, North Carolina, Texas,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Louisiana,
Missouri, Maryland, New Jersey,
Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee,
Washington, and Arizona based on
beneficiary address as reported to the
Social Security Administration and
recorded in the Common Working File
(CWF). For the demonstration, a prior
