Agency Information Collection
Request; 30-Day Public Comment
Request
Office of the Secretary, HHS.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In compliance with the
requirement of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of a proposed
collection for public comment.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before June 16, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the

or (202) 795–7714. When submitting
comments or requesting information,
please include the document identifier
0990–0330–30D and project title for
reference.
SUMMARY:
Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including any of the
following subjects: (1) The necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (3) ways to

of the information to be collected; and
(4) the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
Title of the Collection: Appellant
Climate Survey.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0990–0330.
Abstract: The annual OMHA
Appellant Climate Survey is a survey of
Medicare beneficiaries, providers,
suppliers, or their representatives who
participated in a hearing before an
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) from
OMHA. Appellants dissatisfied with the
outcome of their Level 2 Medicare
appeal may request a hearing before an
OMHA ALJ. The Appellant Climate
Survey will be used to measure
appellant satisfaction with their OMHA
appeals experience, as opposed to their
satisfaction with a specific ruling.
OMHA was established by the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 (Pub.
L. 108–173) and became operational on
July 1, 2005. The MMA legislation and
implementing regulations issued on
March 8, 2007, instituted a number of
changes in the appeals process. The
MMA legislation also directed HHS to
consider the feasibility of conducting
hearings using telephone or videoteleconference (VTC) technologies. In
carrying out this mandate, OMHA
makes use of both telephone and VTC
to provide appellants with a vast
nationwide network Field Offices for
hearings. The first 3-year administration
cycle of the OMHA survey began in
fiscal year (FY) 2008, a second 3-year
cycle began in FY 2011, a third 3-year
cycle began in FY 2014, and a fourth 3year cycle began in FY 2018. The survey
will continue to be conducted annually
over a 3-year period with the next data
collection cycle beginning in FY 2021.
Data collection instruments and
recruitment materials will be offered in
English and Spanish. The estimated
total number of respondents per FY
starting 2021 is 800 respondents. The
estimated total annual burden hours
starting FY 2021 is 200 hours.
Type of Respondent: The survey will
be conducted annually, and survey
respondents will consist of Medicare
beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries (i.e.,
providers, suppliers) who participated
in a hearing before an OMHA ALJ.
OMHA will draw a representative,
nonredundant sample of appellants
whose cases have been closed in the last
6 months.

(NIH) in reviewing the draft strategic
plan document accessible from the NEI
Strategic Plan website. NEI invites input
from vison researchers in academia and
industry, health care professionals,
patient advocates and advocacy
organizations, scientific or professional
organizations, federal agencies, and
other interested members of the public.
Organizations are strongly encouraged
to submit a single response that reflects
the views of their organization and their
membership as a whole.
DATES: This Request for Information is
open for public comment and must be

the mysteries of how vision works at a
fundamental level and provides patients
with new therapies and standards of
care that maintain and improve quality
of life.
In accordance with the 21st Century
Cures Act, NIH institutes are required to
regularly update their strategic plans.
The new NEI Strategic Plan seeks to
distill those reflections into a cohesive
document that will guide efforts to
address those gaps and opportunities
over the next five years. NEI has always
been—and will continue to be—
committed to high quality investigatorinitiated research and will fund the best
science across the broad spectrum of
vision research. Ultimately, NEI
stakeholders provide the catalyst for
identifying and implementing the goals.
NEI has been incorporating broad
public and expert input in the
development of this plan, starting in the
winter of 2019–2020 with an initial
Request for Information (RFI). This
public comment period engaged
perspectives from scientists, clinicians,
patients, vision advocates, and the
public. NEI received a robust response
to the RFI, which informed the selection
and agendas of expert panels for seven
cross-cutting areas of emphasis during
the spring and summer of 2020. NEI
incorporated the topics covered in the
RFI and panels into the planning
document and presented the
information publicly before the NAEC.
Under each area of emphasis, NEI
provides a summary of goals related to
research needs, gaps, and opportunities
for the institute to address over the next
five years.
