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 February 20, 2018.

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: Reinstatement without change
of a previously approved collection;

the Outpatient Prospective Payment
System; Use: CMS needs to keep pace
with emerging new technologies and
make them accessible to Medicare
beneficiaries in a timely manner. It is
necessary that we continue to collect
appropriate information from interested
parties such as hospitals, medical
device manufacturers, pharmaceutical
companies and others that bring to our
attention specific services that they
wish us to evaluate for New Technology
APC payment. We are making no
changes to the information that we
collect. The information that we seek to
continue to collect is necessary to
determine whether certain new services
are eligible for payment in New
Technology APCs, to determine
appropriate coding and to set an
appropriate 4 payment rate for the new
technology service. The intent of these
provisions is to ensure timely
beneficiary access to new and
appropriate technologies. Form Number:
CMS–10054 (OMB control number:
0938–0860); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Private Sector (Business
or other For-profits); Number of
Respondents: 10; Total Annual
Responses: 10; Total Annual Hours:
160. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Joshua McFeeters at
410–786–9732).
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Report of a
Hospital Death Associated with
Restraint or Seclusion; Use: The
regulation that was published on May,
16, 2012 (77 FR 29074) included a
reduction in the reporting requirement
related to hospital deaths associated
with the use of restraint or seclusion,
§ 482.13(g). Hospitals must use Form
CMS–10455 to report those deaths
associated with restraint and/or
seclusion directly to the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
Regional Office (RO). This requirement
also applies to rehabilitation or
psychiatric distinct part units (DPUs) in
Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs). The
RO must provide hospitals with
instructions for submitting the form fax
and/or email, based on RO preference.
Hospitals are no longer required to
report to CMS those deaths where there
E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM
19JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 13 / Friday, January 19, 2018 / Notices
was no use of seclusion and the only
restraint was 2-point soft wrist restraints
beginning in May 9, 2014. This
reporting requirement change resulted
in no necessary edits to the form CMS–
10455 as soft wrist restraints may be
used in combination with other types of
restraints. It was estimated that this
would reduce the volume of reports that
must be submitted by 90 percent for
hospitals. In addition, the final rule
replaced the previous requirement for
reporting via telephone to CMS, which
proved to be cumbersome for both CMS
and hospitals, with a requirement that
allows submission of reports via
telephone, facsimile or electronically, as
determined by CMS.
Form CMS–10455 is being revised in
order to obtain the necessary
information for the ROs to make a
determination whether or not to
authorize an on-site investigation
related to the details surrounding the
death of individuals associated with
restraint and/or seclusion. Form
Number: CMS–10455 (OMB control
number: 0938–1210); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public: Private
Sector; Number of Respondents: 6,389;
Number of Responses: 6,389; Total
Annual Hours: 2,619. (For policy
questions regarding this collection

collection tool developed specifically
for use by hospices. It is currently used
for the collection of quality measure
data pertaining to the Hospice Quality

an additional measure pair for hospice.
All Medicare-certified hospice providers
are required to submit HIS admission
and discharge records to CMS for each
patient admission and discharge. The
HIS contains data elements that are used
by the CMS to calculate these measures
and also allows CMS to collect quality
data from hospices in compliance with
Section 3004 of the Affordable Care Act.
