SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health
Plan Survey Database
AHRQ requests that OMB reapprove
AHRQ’s collection of information for
the AHRQ Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) Health Plan Survey Database:
OMB Control number 0935–0165,
expiration November 30, 2023 (the
CAHPS Health Plan Database). The
CAHPS Health Plan Database consists of
data from the AHRQ CAHPS Health
Plan Survey. Health plans in the U.S.
are asked to voluntarily submit data
from the survey to AHRQ, through its
contractor, Westat. The CAHPS Health
Plan Database was developed by AHRQ
in 1998 in response to requests from
health plans, purchasers, and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) to provide comparative
data to support public reporting of
health plan ratings, health plan
accreditation and quality improvement.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To maintain the CAHPS Health
Plan Database using data from AHRQ’s
standardized CAHPS Health Plan
Survey to provide results to health care
purchasers, consumers, regulators and
policy makers across the country.
(2) To offer several products and
services, including aggregated results
presented through an Online Reporting
System, summary chartbooks, custom
analyses, and data for research
purposes.
(3) To provide data for AHRQ’s
annual National Healthcare Quality and
Disparities Report.
(4) To provide state-level data to CMS
for public reporting on Medicaid.gov
and Data.Medicaid.gov that does not
display the name of the health plans.
Survey data from the CAHPS Health
Plan Database is used to produce four
types of products: (1) An annual
chartbook available to the public on the
CAHPS Database website (https://
www.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/
wysiwyg/cahps/cahps-database/2022hp-chartbook.pdf)); (2) individual
participant reports that are confidential
and customized for each participating
organization (e.g., health plan, Medicaid
agency) that submits their data; (3) a
research database available to
researchers wanting to conduct
additional analyses; and (4) data tables
provided to AHRQ for inclusion in the
National Healthcare Quality and
Disparities Reports.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Westat,

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 163 / Thursday, August 24, 2023 / Notices
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
healthcare and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services; quality measurement and
development, and database
development. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1), (2)
and (8).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following activities and data collections
will be implemented:
• Registration Form—The point-ofcontact (POC), often the sponsor from
Medicaid agencies and health plans,
completes a number of data submission
steps and forms, beginning with the
completion of the online registration
form. The purpose of this form is to
collect basic contact information about
the organization and initiate the
registration process.
• Health Plan Information Form—The
purpose of this form, completed by the
participating sponsor organization, is to
collect background characteristics of the
health plan.
• Data Use Agreement—The purpose
of the data use agreement, completed by
the participating sponsor organization,
is to state how data submitted by health
plans will be used and provide
confidentiality assurances.
• Data Files Submission—POCs
upload their data file using the Health
Plan data file specifications to ensure
that users submit standardized and
consistent data in the way variables are
named, coded, and formatted.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated burden
hours for the respondent to participate
in the database. The burden hours
pertain only to the collection of
Medicaid data from State Medicaid
agencies and individual Medicaid
health plans because those are the only
entities that submit data through the
data submission process. The 125 POCs
in Exhibit 1 are a combination of an
estimated 115 State Medicaid agencies
and individual health plans (Sponsors),
and 10 vendor organizations.
Each sponsor, which is made up of
State Medicaid agencies and individual
health plans, and vendor will register
online for submission. The online
Registration form will require about 5
minutes to complete. Each sponsor will
also complete a Health Plan information
form of information about each Health
Plan such as the name of the plan, the
product type (e.g., HMO, PPO), the
population surveyed (e.g., adult
Medicaid or child Medicaid). Each year,
the prior year’s plan data are preloaded
in the plan table to lessen burden on the
Sponsor. The Sponsor is responsible for
updating the plan table to reflect the
current year’s plan information. The
online Health Plan Information form
takes on average 30 minutes to complete
per health plan with each POC
completing the form for four plans on
average. The Data Use Agreement (DUA)
will be completed by the 115
participating State Medicaid agencies or
individual health plans. Vendors do not
sign or submit DUAs. The DUA requires
about 5 minutes to sign and upload.
Each submitter will provide a copy of
their questionnaire and the survey data
file in the required file format. Survey
data files must conform to the data file
layout specifications provided by the
CAHPS Database. Submitters will
upload one data file per health plan.
Once a data file is uploaded the file will
be checked automatically to ensure it
conforms to the specifications and a
data file status report will be produced
and made available to the submitter.
Submitters will review each report and
will be expected to fix any errors in
their data file and resubmit if necessary.
It will take about 1 hour to submit the
data for each plan, and each POC will
submit data for four plans on average.
The total burden is estimated to be 710
hours annually.

This information collection helps
support FDA implementation of
statutory and regulatory requirements
that govern current good manufacturing
practice (CGMP) for blood and blood
components. We have issued
regulations in parts 606, 610, 630, and
640 (21 CFR parts 606, 610, 630, and
640) setting forth applicable standards
and procedures that include associated
reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure
requirements. Respondents to the
collection of information are licensed
and registered-only establishments that
collect blood and blood components
intended for transfusion or further
manufacturing use. We provide
information on our website at https://
www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/
blood-blood-products regarding CGMP
for blood and blood products, including
available Agency resources.
We are revising the information
collection to support implementation of
annual reporting to FDA of the release
of unsuitable blood donations from
establishments that intend for their
activities to fall under the compliance
policy set forth in the draft guidance for
industry entitled ‘‘Compliance Policy
Regarding Blood and Blood Component
Donation Suitability, Donor Eligibility
and Source Plasma Quarantine Hold
Requirements’’ (May 2022). The draft
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
guidance describes FDA’s compliance
policy for certain regulations. Blood
establishments that collect blood and
blood components, including Source
Plasma, must comply with requirements
in § 630.30 regarding donation
suitability. However, the draft guidance
explains the conditions under which
FDA does not intend to take regulatory
action for a blood establishment’s
failure to comply with this requirement
and describes proposed procedures for
such an establishment’s filing of annual
reports on the release of unsuitable
donations to FDA. Specifically, under
this policy, when finalized, when the
donation is otherwise suitable under
§ 630.30(a), FDA does not intend to take
regulatory action if blood
establishments release donations for
transfusion or further manufacture
when the review of records, required
after donation under § 630.30(a)(2),
identifies the donation as unsuitable
because of inadvertent failure to follow
procedures to ensure that the donation
would not adversely affect the health of
the donor, namely for:
• blood pressure (§ 630.10(f)(2));
• pulse (§ 630.10(f)(4));
• weight (§ 630.10(f)(5));
• donation frequency for Whole
Blood and Red Blood Cells collected by
apheresis (§ 630.15(a)(1));
• pregnancy (§ 630.10(e)(2)(v)); and
• red blood cell loss for plasma
collected by plasmapheresis
(§ 630.15(b)(6)).
The draft guidance sets forth that FDA
intends to apply the compliance policy
provided blood establishments that elect
to release unsuitable units as described
in the guidance report the release of
unsuitable donations to FDA annually.
The draft guidance document is
available for download at https://
www.fda.gov/media/158608/download.
We issued the guidance document
consistent with our Good Guidance
Practice regulations in 21 CFR 10.115,
which provide for public comment at
any time. We intend on finalizing the
guidance document upon OMB
approval of the attendant information
collection. When finalized, the guidance
will supersede the guidance entitled,
‘‘Alternative Procedures for Blood and
Blood Components During the COVID–
19 Public Health Emergency; Guidance
for Industry,’’ dated April 2020.
As explained in section III.A of the
guidance, licensed and registered-only
blood establishments must maintain
records as required under § 606.160;
investigate the error that resulted in the
collection of an unsuitable donation
under § 630.30(a)(2); and submit a
report to FDA annually if they intend
for their activities to fall under this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health
Plan Survey Database
AHRQ requests that OMB reapprove AHRQ's collection of information
for the AHRQ Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) Health Plan Survey Database: OMB Control number 0935-0165,
expiration November 30, 2023 (the CAHPS Health Plan Database). The
CAHPS Health Plan Database consists of data from the AHRQ CAHPS Health
Plan Survey. Health plans in the U.S. are asked to voluntarily submit
data from the survey to AHRQ, through its contractor, Westat. The CAHPS
Health Plan Database was developed by AHRQ in 1998 in response to
requests from health plans, purchasers, and the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide comparative data to support public
reporting of health plan ratings, health plan accreditation and quality
improvement.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To maintain the CAHPS Health Plan Database using data from
AHRQ's standardized CAHPS Health Plan Survey to provide results to
health care purchasers, consumers, regulators and policy makers across
the country.
(2) To offer several products and services, including aggregated
results presented through an Online Reporting System, summary
chartbooks, custom analyses, and data for research purposes.
(3) To provide data for AHRQ's annual National Healthcare Quality
and Disparities Report.
(4) To provide state-level data to CMS for public reporting on
Medicaid.gov and Data.Medicaid.gov that does not display the name of
the health plans.
Survey data from the CAHPS Health Plan Database is used to produce
four types of products: (1) An annual chartbook available to the public
on the CAHPS Database website (https://www.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/wysiwyg/cahps/cahps-database/2022-hp-chartbook.pdf)); (2)
individual participant reports that are confidential and customized for
each participating organization (e.g., health plan, Medicaid agency)
that submits their data; (3) a research database available to
researchers wanting to conduct additional analyses; and (4) data tables
provided to AHRQ for inclusion in the National Healthcare Quality and
Disparities Reports.
This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor,
Westat,
[[Page 57955]]
pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support research
on healthcare and on systems for the delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare services; quality measurement
and development, and database development. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1), (2)
and (8).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the following activities and
data collections will be implemented:
Registration Form--The point-of-contact (POC), often the
sponsor from Medicaid agencies and health plans, completes a number of
data submission steps and forms, beginning with the completion of the
online registration form. The purpose of this form is to collect basic
contact information about the organization and initiate the
registration process.
Health Plan Information Form--The purpose of this form,
completed by the participating sponsor organization, is to collect
background characteristics of the health plan.
Data Use Agreement--The purpose of the data use agreement,
completed by the participating sponsor organization, is to state how
data submitted by health plans will be used and provide confidentiality
assurances.
Data Files Submission--POCs upload their data file using
the Health Plan data file specifications to ensure that users submit
standardized and consistent data in the way variables are named, coded,
and formatted.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated burden hours for the respondent to
participate in the database. The burden hours pertain only to the
collection of Medicaid data from State Medicaid agencies and individual
Medicaid health plans because those are the only entities that submit
data through the data submission process. The 125 POCs in Exhibit 1 are
a combination of an estimated 115 State Medicaid agencies and
individual health plans (Sponsors), and 10 vendor organizations.
Each sponsor, which is made up of State Medicaid agencies and
individual health plans, and vendor will register online for
submission. The online Registration form will require about 5 minutes
to complete. Each sponsor will also complete a Health Plan information
form of information about each Health Plan such as the name of the
plan, the product type (e.g., HMO, PPO), the population surveyed (e.g.,
adult Medicaid or child Medicaid). Each year, the prior year's plan
data are preloaded in the plan table to lessen burden on the Sponsor.
The Sponsor is responsible for updating the plan table to reflect the
current year's plan information. The online Health Plan Information
form takes on average 30 minutes to complete per health plan with each
POC completing the form for four plans on average. The Data Use
Agreement (DUA) will be completed by the 115 participating State
Medicaid agencies or individual health plans. Vendors do not sign or
submit DUAs. The DUA requires about 5 minutes to sign and upload. Each
submitter will provide a copy of their questionnaire and the survey
data file in the required file format. Survey data files must conform
to the data file layout specifications provided by the CAHPS Database.
Submitters will upload one data file per health plan. Once a data file
is uploaded the file will be checked automatically to ensure it
conforms to the specifications and a data file status report will be
produced and made available to the submitter. Submitters will review
each report and will be expected to fix any errors in their data file
and resubmit if necessary. It will take about 1 hour to submit the data
for each plan, and each POC will submit data for four plans on average.
The total burden is estimated to be 710 hours annually.
