SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. The term ``collection of

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

anomalies are detected, CMS' Regional Offices will work in

will be required to implement corrective action to correct any 
identified deficiencies.
