Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved information collection; Title of Information Collection: CLIA Collection of Information Requirements Related to SARS–CoV–2 Test Results Reporting; Use: In order to be in compliance with the new CLIA mandatory SARS–CoV–2 test results reporting requirements, laboratories will need to develop a mechanism to track, collect, and report test results as well as update policies and procedures. In addition, Accreditation Organizations (AOs) and Exempt States (ESs) will need to update laboratory standards to reflect the reporting requirements and update policies and procedures related to reporting laboratories that do not report test results as required. The CDC has an information collection request (OMB Control Number 0920–1299) in order to collect laboratory data related to the COVID–19 Pandemic Response. The CMS package (ICR) is for laboratory implementation and CMS monitoring of compliance with the CMS–3401–IFC CLIA-certified laboratory reporting requirements. The information collected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or its designee, such as a CMS agent or CMS approved laboratory accreditation organization, when conducting inspections will be used to determine a laboratory’s compliance with the CLIA SARS–CoV– 2 test result reporting requirements. During an on-site survey, the Conditionlevel laboratory requirement at 42 CFR 493.41and 493.1100(a) are assessed for compliance. The information is used by CMS in determining appropriate Civil Money Penalties (CMPs) when laboratories fail to report as required.
