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: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Hospital
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (HCAHPS)
Survey Mode Experiment; Use:
Hospital-level scores derived from
national implementation of Hospital
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (HCAHPS)
Survey are publicly reported quality
data on CMS’ Hospital Compare Web
site. Our HCAHPS initiative allows
vendors to select one mode of survey
administration from four approved
administration protocols (mail only,
telephone only, mail-telephone mixed
mode, and touch-tone IVR only). Before
public reporting, HCAHPS scores are
adjusted for the selected mode of
administration, using mail
administration as the comparison mode,
to correct for any inflation or deflation
of scores that are a result of mode. The
current mode adjustments employed for
HCAHPS are the product of two
separate mode experiments conducted
using different versions of the survey
and different sample. The purpose of
the planned HCAHPS mode experiment
is to conduct a mode experiment of
sufficient sample and scale to determine
if the mode adjustments currently
employed for the 32-item HCAHPS core

survey need revision. An additional goal
is to collect empirical evidence on the
effect of the number of additional
supplemental items on survey response
rate and patterns of response to the
HCAHPS core demographic items
(known as ‘‘About You’’ items). Form
Number: CMS–10542 (OMB control
number 0938-New); Frequency: Once;
Affected Public: Individuals and
households; Number of Respondents:
8,160; Total Annual Responses: 8,160;
Total Annual Hours: 1,322. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
contact Elizabeth Flow-Delwiche at
410–786–1718).
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Emergency
Department Patient Experience of Care
(EDPEC) Survey Mode Experiment; Use:
This survey supports the six national
priorities for improving care from the
National Quality Strategy developed by
the Department of Health and Human
Services that was called for under the
Affordable Care Act to create national
aims and priorities to guide local, state,
and national efforts to improve the
quality of health care. The six priorities
include: Making care safer by reducing
harm caused by the delivery of care;
ensuring that each person and family
are engaged as partners in their care;
promoting effective communication and
coordination of care; promoting the
most effective prevention and treatment
practices for the leading causes of
mortality, starting with cardiovascular
disease; working with communities to
promote wide use of best practices to
enable healthy living; and making
quality care more affordable for
individuals, families, employers, and
governments by developing and
spreading new health care delivery
models. In 2012, we launched the
development of the Emergency
Department Patient Experience of Care
Survey (EDPEC) to measure the
experiences of patients (18 and older)
with emergency department care. This
survey will provide patient experience
with care data that enables comparisons
of emergency department and support
for improving the quality of patient
experience in the emergency
department. Form Number: CMS–10543
(OMB control number 0938-New);
Frequency: Once; Affected Public:
Individuals and households; Number of
Respondents: 4,951; Total Annual
Responses: 4,951; Total Annual Hours:
923. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Elizabeth FlowDelwiche at 410–786–1718).

currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Laboratory
Personnel Report (CLIA) and Supporting
Regulations; Use: The information
collected on this survey form is used in
the administrative pursuit of the
Congressionally-mandated program
with regard to regulation of laboratories
participating in CLIA. The surveyor will
provide the laboratory with the CMS–
209 form. While the surveyor performs
other aspects of the survey, the
laboratory will complete the CMS–209
by recording the personnel data needed
to support their compliance with the
personnel requirements of CLIA. The
surveyor will then use this information
in choosing a sample of personnel to
verify compliance with the personnel
requirements. Information on personnel
qualifications of all technical personnel
is needed to ensure the sample is
representative of the entire laboratory;

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Objective Work Plan (OWP) and
Objective Progress Report (OPR).
OMB No.: 0970–0452.
Description: Content and formatting
changes are being made to the OPR and
OWP. The information in OPR is
currently collected on quarterly basis to
monitor the performance of grantees and
better gauge grantee progress. The OWP
is used by applicants when they submit
their proposals and then by grantees to
monitor their projects once the award is
made by ANA. ANA has determined
that the requirement for ANA grantees
to submit information about the project
activities on quarterly basis creates
undue burden for Grantees. Therefore,
ANA has reformatted the OPR to require

13FEN1
8087
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 30 / Friday, February 13, 2015 / Notices
Grantees submit semi-annual reports
instead of quarterly report. This will
reduce the administrative burden on
Grantees, especially the smaller
organizations. The majority of content
being requested from the grantees
essentially remain same except for the
frequency of reporting.
OPR: The following are proposed
content changes to the document:
Grantee Information: Report
Frequency—This section of OPR will be
reformatted to request semi-annual or
final project data instead of quarterly
information. The other sections of the
document with reference to ‘‘quarterly’’
information will be changed to reflect
the shift from four-times a year
reporting requirement to twice per year.
Objective Work Plan Update: Content
remains the same. No changes are
proposed for this section of the OPR.
Impact indicator: Current Status of
Expected Results and Current Status of
Expected Benefits which are reported
separately on the OPR will be combined
to read ‘‘Current Status of Expected
Results and Benefits.’’ The content
requested in this section is similar to the
previous OPR without the added burden
of having the reporting organizations
provide the analysis that distinguish
between ‘results and benefits’’. Every
section of the document will be
rewritten to reflect this change.
OWP: ANA proposes to reformat the
OWP (content is same) by swapping the
Objective field with Problem Statement.
In other words, this section will require
respondents to begin with a concise
statement about the problem the project
is designed to address and will be
followed by more details about the
objectives of the project.
The two fields ‘‘Results Expected and
Benefits Expected’’ will be combined
into one field to read ‘‘Results and
benefits Expected’’. This will reduce
redundancy and help reduce the burden
on Grantees.
Respondents: Tribal Government,
Native non-profit organizations, Tribal
Colleges & Universities.
