territorial public health departments. It
includes standardized analytic tools and
processes that enable users to rapidly
collect, evaluate, share, and store
syndromic surveillance data. NSSP
promotes a Community of Practice in
which participants collaborate to
advance the science and practice of
syndromic surveillance. Health
departments use the BioSense Platform
to receive healthcare data from facilities
in their jurisdiction, conduct syndromic
surveillance, and share the data with
other jurisdictions and CDC.
The BioSense Platform provides the
ability to analyze healthcare encounter
data from EHRs, as well as laboratory
data. All EHR and laboratory data reside
outside of CDC in a cloud-enabled, webbased platform that has Authorization to
Operate from CDC. The BioSense
Platform sits in the secure, private
Government Cloud which is simply
used as a storage and processing
mechanism, as opposed to on-site
servers at CDC. This environment
provides users with easily managed ondemand access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources such
as networks, servers, software, tools,
storage, and services, with limited need
for additional IT support. Each site (i.e.,
state or local public health department)
controls its data within the cloud and is
provided with free secure data storage
space with tools for posting, receiving,
controlling and analyzing their data; an
easy-to-use data display dashboard; and
a shared environment where users can
collaborate and advance public health
surveillance practice. Each site is
responsible for creating its own data use
agreements with the facilities that are
sending the data, retains ownership of
any data it contributes to its exclusive
secure space, and can share data with
CDC or users from other sites.
NSSP has three different types of
information collection:
(1) Collection of onboarding data
about healthcare facilities needed for
state, local, and territorial public health
departments to submit EHR data to the
BioSense Platform;
(2) Collection of registration data
needed to allow users access to the
BioSense Platform tools and services;
and
(3) Collection of data sharing
permissions so that state and local
health departments can share data with
other state and local health departments
and CDC.
Healthcare data shared with CDC can
include: EHR data received by state and
local public health departments from
facilities including hospital emergency
departments and inpatient settings,
urgent care, and ambulatory care;
laboratory tests ordered and their results
from LabCorp, a national private sector
laboratory company; and EHR data from
the Department of Defense (DoD) and
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) National Disaster
Medical System (NDMS) Disaster
Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs).
Respondents include state, local, and
territorial public health departments.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate. The only
burden incurred by the health
departments are for submitting
onboarding data about facilities to CDC,
submitting registration data about users
to CDC, and setting up data sharing
permissions with CDC. The estimated
annual burden is 195 hours.

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.

provide Medicare protection to
individuals who are members of a Buyin coverage group, as specified in the
State’s Buy-in agreement. The Code of
Federal Regulations at 42 CFR Section
407.40 provides for States to enroll in
Medicare and pay the premiums for all
eligible members covered under a Buyin coverage group. Individuals enrolled
in Medicare through the Buy-in program
must be eligible for Medicare and be an
eligible member of a Buy-in coverage
group. The day to day operations of the
State Buy-in program is accomplished
through an automated data exchange
process. The automated data exchange
process is used to exchange Medicare
and Buy-in entitlement information
between the Social Security District
Offices, State Medicaid Agencies and
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS). When problems arise
that cannot be resolved though the
normal data exchange process, clerical
actions are required. The CMS–1957,
‘‘SSO Report of State Buy-In Problem’’
is used to report Buy-in problems cases.
The CMS–1957 is the only standardized
form available for communications
between the aforementioned agencies
for the resolution of beneficiary
complaints and inquiries regarding State
Buy-in eligibility. Form Number: CMS–
1957 (OMB control number: 0938–
0035); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
