Download as PDF 6176 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2022 / Notices CMS–10036—IRF–PAI for the Collection of Data Pertaining to the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Prospective Payment System and Quality Reporting Program Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct 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 requires federal agencies to publish a 60-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. Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: IRF–PAI for the Collection of Data Pertaining to the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Prospective Payment System and Quality Reporting Program; Use: We are requesting an extension of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF–PAI) Version 4.0 that will be effective on October 1, 2022. On November 2, 2021, we issued a final rule (86 FR 62240) which finalized proposed modifications to the effective date for the reporting of measures and certain standardized patient assessment data in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Quality Reporting Program (IRF QRP). Per the final rule CMS will require IRFs to start collecting assessment data using IRF– PAI Version 4.0 beginning October 1, 2022. The information collection request for IRF PAI 4.0 was re-approved on December 15, 2021 with an October 1, 2022 implementation date. CMS is asking for an extension of the approved IRF–PAI Version 4.0, which expires on December 31, 2022. The burden associated with this requirement is staff time required to complete and encode the data from the IRF–PAI. The burden associated with collecting and transmitting the data is unaffected by the proposed extension to the assessment instrument. The IRF–PAI is required by the CMS as part of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Prospective Payment System (IRF PPS). CMS uses the data to determine the payment for each Medicare Part A fee-for-service patient and Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation unit or hospital. The IRF– PAI is also used to gather data for the IRF Quality Reporting Program (IRF QRP).
