Program Survey
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.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Geographic Classification Review Board
Procedures and Criteria; Use: During the
first few years of IPPS, hospitals were
paid strictly based on their physical
geographic location concerning the
wage index (Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (MSAs)) and the standardized
amount (rural, other urban, or large
urban). However, a growing number of
hospitals became concerned that their
payment rates were not providing
accurate compensation. The hospitals
argued that they were not competing
with the hospitals in their own
geographic area, but instead that they
were competing with hospitals in
neighboring geographic areas. At that
point, Congress enacted Section
1886(d)(10) of the Act which enabled
hospitals to apply to be considered part
of neighboring geographic areas for
payment purposes based on certain
criteria. The application and decision
process is administered by the MGCRB
which is not a part of CMS so that CMS
could not be accused of any untoward
action. However, CMS needs to remain
apprised of any potential payment
changes. Hospitals are required to
provide CMS with copy of any
applications that they made to the
MGCRB. CMS also developed the
guidelines for the MGCRB that were the
interim final issue of the Federal
Register, and must ensure that the
MGCRB properly applied the
guidelines. This check and balance
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
process also contributes to limiting the
number of hospitals that ultimately
need to appeal their MGCRB decisions
to the CMS Administrator. Form
Number: CMS–R–138 (OMB control
number: 0938–0573); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public:
Businesses or other for-profits and Notfor-profit institutions; Number of
Respondents: 300; Total Annual
Responses: 300; Total Annual Hours:
300. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Noel Manlove at 410–
786–5161.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Application for
Hospital Insurance and Supporting
Regulations; Use: Individuals who are
already entitled to retirement or
disability benefits under Social Security
or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)
benefits are automatically entitled to
premium-free Medicare Hospital
Insurance (Part A) when they attain age
65 or reach the 25th month of disability
benefit entitlement. These individuals
do not file a separate application for
Medicare Part A because their
application for Social Security or RRB
benefits is also an application for Part A.
The form is for individuals who are not
eligible for Social Security for RRB
benefits, but may qualify for premiumfree Medicare Part A based on certain
requirements outlined in § 406.11 and
406.15 or for certain disabled
individuals who may enroll in premium
Medicare Part A based on certain
requirements outlined in § 406.20.
Individuals may also choose to enroll in
Medicare Part B at the same time they
apply for Medicare Part A. Form
Number: CMS–18F5 (OMB control
number: 0938–0251); Frequency: Once;
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Number of Respondents:
51,000; Total Annual Responses:
51,000; Total Annual Hours: 29,580.
(For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Carla Patterson at
410–786–8911.)
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: CMS Tribal
Long Term Services and Supports
(LTSS) Program Survey; Use: The
Survey will provide CMS with an
inventory of LTSS programs for older
adults or individuals with disabilities
managed by American Indian and
Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes.
Information on tribal LTSS programs
has previously been gathered through
publicly available data via online
research. However, not all of the
information, including program contact
E:\FR\FM\06JYN1.SGM
06JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 128 / Thursday, July 6, 2017 / Notices
information and program focus, are
regularly available online as tribal Web
sites are not updated frequently.
Therefore, the survey will enable the
collection of the most accurate
information possible.
The respondents include 424 LTSS
programs run by AI/AN tribes. Once the
survey has been conducted, CMS will
feature the survey data, specifically a
list of AI/AN managed LTSS programs,
online on CMS.gov. The dissemination
of survey data on CMS.gov will allow
tribal communities and the general
public to access this important data.
Documentation of these programs will
support sharing of LTSS best practices
and innovative models employed in
Indian Country. CMS will use the
survey data to generate further content
on LTSS in Indian Country, including
literature reviews and reports on best
practices.
Form Number: CMS–10651 (OMB
control number: 0938–TBD); Frequency:
Yearly; Affected Public: State, Local, or
Tribal Governments; Number of
Respondents: 425; Total Annual
Responses: 425; Total Annual Hours:
106. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact John Johns at 410–

information and program focus, are regularly available online as tribal
Web sites are not updated frequently. Therefore, the survey will enable
the collection of the most accurate information possible.

the survey has been conducted, CMS will feature the survey data,
specifically a list of AI/AN managed LTSS programs, online on CMS.gov.

communities and the general public to access this important data.

practices and innovative models employed in Indian Country. CMS will
use the survey data to generate further content on LTSS in Indian
Country, including literature reviews and reports on best practices.
