Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2022 / Notices percent is carried by Canadian flagged vessels? Please specify the metrics used to quantify the answer. B. The impact of the final Canadian regulation. The Commission believes that the phased implementation of the Canadian rule could delay, and possibly eliminate, the impacts of the rule on a portion of U.S. flagged vessels. The Commission seeks specific information about the types of impacts and the timing of those impacts relative to the 2024 and 2030 implementation dates. The Commission also seeks information about the overall impact, if any, of final Canadian regulation on the Commission’s consideration of the Petition: Contractual Impacts: Will the final Canadian regulation affect the ability of U.S. flag vessels to negotiate contracts for the U.S./Canada trade? What are the specific or estimated economic impacts? When will any economic impacts first be realized? Repair/Design Impacts: At what date will affected U.S. flag vessels be impacted by vessel repair/design considerations in order to achieve compliance with the Canadian regulations? What are the estimated costs of compliance under the final Canadian regulation? Business Model: Will the final Canadian rule drive any changes in business models for U.S. flagged vessels? For any impacts identified above, please be specific as to when an economic impact will present and upon what data the impact is based. Please identify any distinctions in impacts based on type of cargo, vessel, expiration date of contract, implementation date of proposed contract or type of carriage agreement. C. Other considerations. The Commission’s role in this investigation is solely to determine if there exist ‘‘conditions unfavorable to shipping in foreign trade’’ under 46 U.S.C. 41201. In making this determination there are other matters that may be outside the control or the authority of the Commission but nevertheless should be considered during the Commission’s investigation and recommendations. EPA Rule: How should the Commission consider the status of the EPA’s proposed rule? International Convention: Is the 2004 Ballast Water Management Convention (International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004) relevant to this Petition? Is the Canadian rule required or optional under the Convention? Have other parties to the Convention enacted a similar provision? VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 Feb 02, 2022 Jkt 256001 Developments: What industry or scientific developments have an impact on this Petition? Have there been any relevant developments since the Commission’s initial request for comments in June 2020? Changes: Have any of the analyses or projections provided to the Commission by the Petitioner changed? If so, provide the Commission with any data that has changed since the filing of the Petition and that has not been captured through answers to the questions above. D. Commission’s future actions. The Commission’s investigation is ongoing and will consider all relevant information and potential actions, including: Other Information: Do other sources of relevant information or data exist that should be considered? Where is that information/data located? Fee: The original petition requested that the Commission issue a regulation that would assess a fee of 300,000.00 U.S. dollars each time a Canadian vessel enters any U.S. port. Is this request still valid and are there other corrective actions that should be considered, including requests to other agencies under 46 U.S.C. 42102(a)? Comments in response to the questions above, or other feedback, should include objectively quantifiable data to back up any numerical or statistical information provided rather than generalized information/arguments for or against the petition. By the Commission. Issued: January 28, 2022. William Cody, Secretary.

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). Form 
Number: CMS-10036 (OMB control number: 0938-0842); Frequency: Annually; 
Affected Public: Private Sector: Business and for-profit and Not-for-
profit, State, Local or Tribal Government and Federal Government; 
Number of Respondents: 1,122; Total Annual Responses: 411,622; Total 
Annual Hours: 704,747. For policy questions regarding this collection, 
contact Ariel Adams at 410-786-8571.)
