Medicare contractors request the information from providers/ suppliers submitting claims for payment when data analysis indicates aberrant billing patterns or other information which may present a vulnerability to the Medicare program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IHS has requested emergency review of 
this information collection by OMB, as authorized by section 3507(j) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The Agency gathers comments 
concerning: (a) The necessity of this information collection for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden (hours and cost) of the collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (c) ways we could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and (d) ways we could minimize the
