SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Workgroup, a workgroup of the National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC) Board of Scientific Counselors
(BSC), conducted a systematic review of
the evidence and drafted the clinical
recommendations. The NCIPC/BSC is a
federal advisory committee comprised
of leading experts in the field of injury
and violence prevention that makes
recommendations to the HHS Secretary,
the CDC Director, and the NCIPC
Director. The workgroup consists of
subject matter experts in neurosurgery,
pediatrics, emergency medicine,
nursing, neurology, rehabilitation,
neuroimaging, internal and family
medicine, sports medicine, and school
health. The systematic review and
clinical recommendations drafted by the
Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Workgroup served as the primary
foundation for the CDC Systematic
Review and CDC Guideline.
Supporting and Related Material in the
Docket
The docket contains the following
supporting and related materials to help
inform public comment: the Systematic
Review including data tables, and the
Guideline including the key
recommendations. The document,
Diagnosis and Management of Mild
Traumatic Brain Injury Among
Children: A Systematic Review,
summarizes findings from 25 years of
research on the diagnosis, prognosis,
and management of pediatric mild TBI.
In this review, evidence is summarized
for six clinical questions using a
rigorous evidence rating methodology.
The draft CDC Guideline on the
Diagnosis and Management of Mild
Traumatic Brain Injury Among Children
focuses on diagnosis and management
of acute mild traumatic brain injury
(TBI) among children and adolescents
(age 18 and under). The Guideline is
designed for use by acute care and
primary care providers who diagnose
and manage patients with mild TBI
resulting from both unintentional and
intentional injuries. The

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection 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.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of
information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by October 30, 2017.
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

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: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Healthcare
Common Procedure Coding System
(HCPCS)—Level II Code Modification
Request Process; Use: In October 2003,
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) delegated authority
under the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
legislation to Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) to maintain
and distribute HCPCS Level II Codes. As
stated in 42 CFR Sec. 414.40(a) CMS
establishes uniform national definitions
of services, codes to represent services,
and payment modifiers to the codes.
The HCPCS codeset has been

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 188 / Friday, September 29, 2017 / Notices
maintained and distributed via
modifications of codes, modifiers and
descriptions, as a direct result of data
received from applicants. Thus,
information collected in the application
is significant to codeset maintenance.
The HCPCS codeset maintenance is
an ongoing process, as changes are
implemented and updated annually;
therefore, the process requires continual
collection of information from
applicants on an annual basis. As new
technology evolves and new devices,
drugs and supplies are introduced to the
market, applicants submit applications
to CMS requesting modifications to the
HCPCS Level II codeset. Applications
have been received prior to HIPAA
implementation and must continue to
be collected to ensure quality decisionmaking. The HIPAA of 1996 required
CMS to adopt standards for coding
systems that are used for reporting
health care transactions. The regulation
that CMS published on August 17, 2000
(45 CFR 162.10002) to implement the
HIPAA requirement for standardized
coding systems established the HCPCS
Level II codes as the standardized
coding system for describing and
identifying health care equipment and
supplies in health care transactions.
HCPCS Level II was selected as the
standardized coding system because of
its wide acceptance among both public
and private insurers. Public and private
insurers were required to be in
compliance with the August 2000
regulation by October 1, 2002. Form
