Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 30 / Friday, February 13, 2015 / Notices
of a valid PSAP request for text-to-911
service, whichever is later. To
implement these requirements, the
Commission seeks to collect information
primarily for a database in which PSAPs
will voluntarily register that they are
technically ready to receive text
messages to 911. As PSAPs become textready, they may either register in the
PSAP database (or, if the database is not
yet available, submit a notification to PS
Docket Nos. 10–255 and 11–153), or
provide other written notification
reasonably acceptable to a covered text
messaging provider. Either measure
taken by the PSAP shall constitute
sufficient notification pursuant to the
adopted rules in the Second Report and
Order. PSAPs and covered text
providers may mutually agree to an
alternative implementation timeframe
(other than six months). Covered text
providers must notify the FCC of the
dates and terms of the alternate
timeframe that they have mutually
agreed on with PSAPs within 30 days of
the parties’ agreement.
Additionally, the rules adopted by the
Second Report and Order also include
other information collections for third
party notifications that need to be
effective in order to implement text-to911, including necessary notifications to
consumers, covered text providers, and
the Commission. These notifications are
essential to ensure that all of the
affected parties are aware of the
limitations, capabilities, and status of
text-to-911 services. These information
collections will enable the Commission
to meet objectives to commence the
implementation of text-to-911 service as
of December 31, 2014 in furtherance of
its core mission to ensure the public’s
safety.

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

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

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

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a

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

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;

Description: Content and formatting
changes are being made to the OPR and

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
