AGENCY:
The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
the estimated burden, ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies
to publish a 30-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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Home Health
Agency Survey and Deficiencies Report;

converting it to a fillable .pdf format. A
previous version of the CMS–1572 form
had been in a fillable format. However,
when it was revised in the past, it was
placed into a non-fillable format. We
also added a new selection to item #7.
The CMS–1572 form is used by State
Survey Agencies (SAs) when surveying
Home Health Agencies (HHAs) and to
collect information about an HHA.
These regulations were created by CMS
under the authority of sections 1861(o)
and 1891 of the Social Security Act
(‘‘the Act’’).
In the Medicare and Medicaid
programs, CMS is responsible for
developing Conditions of Participation
(CoPs) that facilities must meet to
become eligible to receive Medicare
payments. State survey agencies (SAs)
conduct on-site surveys of Home Health
Agencies (HHAs) to ensure that HHA
facilities are in compliance with these
requirements.
Surveys of HHA providers are
intended to ensure and strengthen
patient health and safety, to enhance
quality of care by emphasizing
outcomes rather than process, to
implement the Omnibus Reconciliation
Act of 1987 (OBRA 87), and to achieve
more effective compliance with Federal
requirements. The CMS–1572 HHA
survey form reflects this fundamental
change and directs surveyors to observe
and monitor the provision of care in the
home setting. HHA surveyors use the
CMS–1572 form to assist and direct
them in evaluating important
information relating to the quality of
services provided HHAs in the home
setting. Moreover, the CMS–1572 form
represents a deficiency-based approach
to evaluating and reporting compliance.
