(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each

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

requirement of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 (HIPAA). The unique identifier is

may be used for other lawful purposes
in the health care system. The CMS
Final Rule published on January 23,
2004 adopts the National Provider
Identifier (NPI) as the standard unique
health identifier for health care
providers. Health care providers that are
covered entities under HIPAA must
apply for and use NPIs in standard
transactions. The law requires that data
collection standards for these measures
be used, to the extent that it is practical,
in all national population health
surveys. It applies to self-reported
optional information only. The law also
requires any data standards published
by HHS to comply with standards
created by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).

agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget

each proposed extension of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, ACL is publishing a notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, ACL invites
comments on our burden estimates or
any other aspect of this collection of
information, including:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of ACL’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of ACL’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used
to determine burden estimates;
(3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
The report form and instructions have
been in continuous use, with minor
modifications, since OMB first approved
them for the FY 1995 reporting period.
The report underwent a substantive
revision in April 2018, which included
significant reduction in the number of
data elements collected. This request
covers minor changes and corrections to
the current information collection. The
data collection tool will enhance ACL’s
ability to understand and report on
LTCO program operations, experiences
of long-term care facility residents and
will reflect changes in LTC Ombudsman
program operations and long-term
supports and services policies, research,
and practices. States will continue to
provide the following data and narrative
information in the report:
1. Numbers and descriptions of cases
filed and complaints made on behalf of
long-term care facility residents to the
statewide ombudsman program;
2. Major issues identified impacting
on the quality of care and life of longterm care facility residents;
3. Statewide program operations; and
4. Ombudsman activities in addition
to complaint investigation.
5. Organizational conflict of interest
reporting as required by 45 CFR part
1324.21.
