A proxy interview will be conducted
via telephone for sampled participants
who died prior to the re-contact.
Information on medical conditions and
overnight hospital stays since baseline
will be collected.
Although permission will be sought
from all field feasibility test
participants, hospitalization records
will be obtained only for 120
participants annually (240 participants
over the two-year period) to evaluate the
record retrieval protocol for the study
cohort among different medical
facilities. An average of three hospital
stays per person is anticipated among
this cohort, therefore, an estimated 360
requests (120 persons × 3 stays) will be
made annually. The estimated burden
for hospital record provider is 20
minutes per record.
OMB approval is requested for two
years to conduct the feasibility
component of the NHANES
Longitudinal Study. Participation is
voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 1,055.

Emergency Clearance: Public
Information Collection Requirements
Submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB)
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting
that an information collection request
(ICR) related to the Medicare and
Medicaid Programs: Conditions of
Participation for Home Health Agencies
(HHAs) and Supporting Regulations at
42 CFR part 484, be processed under the
emergency clearance process associated
with 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(i). Public harm
is reasonably likely to ensue if the
normal, non-emergency clearance
procedures are followed. The approval
of this information collection package is
necessary because in the absence of

such approval CMS will be unable to
effectively enforce these essential health
and safety requirements. Among other
things, CMS will be unable to enforce
requirements that HHAs must provide a
notice of rights to each patient, assure
the proper training of home health aides
before those aides provide hands-on
care to patients, and disclose the names
and addresses of all individuals with an
ownership or management position so
that we can assure that those with a
history of fraud are not involved in
HHA operations. Being unable to
enforce these rules would harm patient
health and safety, as well as create risks
to the integrity of the Medicare and
Medicaid programs.
Under the PRA, federal agencies are
required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed ICR. Interested persons are
invited to send comments regarding our
burden estimates or any other aspect of
this ICR including the necessity and
utility of the proposed ICR for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, the accuracy of the estimated
burden, ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected and the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology to minimize the
information collection burden.

Regulations
Under the 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. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:

Conditions of Participation (CoP) and

information collection requirements
contained in this request are part of the
requirements classified as the
conditions of participation (CoPs) which
are based on criteria prescribed in law
and are standards designed to ensure
that each facility has properly trained
staff to provide the appropriate safe
physical environment for patients.
These particular standards reflect
comparable standards developed by
industry organizations such as the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations, and the
Community Health Accreditation
Program. We will use this information
along with state agency surveyors, the
regional home health intermediaries and
home health agencies (HHAs) for the
purpose of ensuring compliance with
Medicare CoPs as well as ensuring the
quality of care provided by HHA
patients. Form Numbers: CMS–R–39

be processed under the emergency clearance process associated with 5
CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(i). Public harm is reasonably likely to ensue if the
normal, non-emergency clearance procedures are followed. The approval
of this information collection package is necessary because in the
absence of such approval CMS will be unable to effectively enforce
these essential health and safety requirements. Among other things, CMS
will be unable to enforce requirements that HHAs must provide a notice
of rights to each patient, assure the proper training of home health
aides before those aides provide hands-on care to patients, and
disclose the names and addresses of all individuals with an ownership
or management position so that we can assure that those with a history
of fraud are not involved in HHA operations. Being unable to enforce
these rules would harm patient health and safety, as well as create
risks to the integrity of the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Under the PRA, federal agencies are required to publish notice in
the Federal Register concerning each proposed ICR. Interested persons
are invited to send comments regarding our burden estimates or any
other aspect of this ICR including the necessity and utility of the
proposed ICR for the proper performance of the agency's functions, the
accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to enhance the quality, utility,
