Request for Comment
On December 5, 2023, the FTC sought
public comment on the information
collection requirements associated with
the Rule. 88 FR 84330. One comment
only stated, ‘‘Good,’’ but added nothing
further. No other germane comments
were received. Pursuant to the OMB
regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that
implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq., the FTC is providing this second
opportunity for public comment while
seeking OMB approval to renew the preexisting clearance for the Rule.
Your comment—including your name
and your state—will be placed on the
public record of this proceeding.
Because your comment will be made
public, you are solely responsible for
making sure that your comment does
not include any sensitive personal
information, such as anyone’s Social
Security number; date of birth; driver’s
license number or other state
identification number, or foreign
country equivalent; passport number;
financial account number; or credit or
debit card number. You are also solely
responsible for making sure that your
comment does not include any sensitive
health information, such as medical
records or other individually
identifiable health information. In
addition, your comment should not
include any ‘‘trade secret or any
commercial or financial information
which . . . is privileged or
confidential’’—as provided by Section
6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and
FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR 4.10(a)(2)—
including in particular competitively
sensitive information such as costs,
sales statistics, inventories, formulas,
patterns, devices, manufacturing
processes, or customer names.

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: Reinstatement with change of a
previously approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: CLIA Budget
Workload Reports; Use: The Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Amendments
of 1988 (CLIA), Public Law 100–578
were enacted on October 31, 1988.
Provisions of this law mandated by
Congress require entities (with few
exceptions) that test human specimens
be subject to Federal regulation and
have in effect a certificate issued by the
Department of Health and Human
Services. CLIA mandates that fees must
be paid by each laboratory to obtain or
renew a certificate and for the cost of
compliance determination if applicable.
The certificate issuance fees will be set
by CMS at levels sufficient to recover
the full costs of administering the
operational provisions of CLIA,
including approval and monitoring of
proficiency testing programs and
accrediting bodies and implementing
Federal requirements. Fees will also be
collected by CMS to cover the costs of
inspecting non-accredited laboratories
and validating accrediting laboratories
based on the lab’s volume and scope of
testing. Currently, CMS contracts with
50 State agencies to conduct surveys of
all participating health care facilities. As
part of their contract, CMS reimburses
the State agencies for the reasonable
cost of conducting surveys. This
information collection gathers the
information necessary to reimburse
State agencies for a reasonable cost.

Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement with change of a
previously approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Registration and Electronic Data
Interchange Enrollment Form; Use: The
purpose of this collection is to obtain
information that will be subsequently
used during transaction exchange for
identification of Medicare providers/
suppliers and authorization of requested
electronic data interchange (EDI)
functions. The EDI Registration Form
and the Medicare Enrollment Forms are
completed by Medicare providers/
suppliers and submitted to CMS
Medicare Administrative Contractors
(MACs). Authorization is needed for
providers/suppliers to send/receive
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) standard
transactions directly (or through a
designated 3rd party) to/from Medicare
contractors. Medicare contractors will
use the information for initial set-up
and maintenance of the access
privileges. CMS has allowed each MAC
to create their own organization specific
forms given they are comparable in
terms of content of forms 10164A and
10164B, to transmit data files
electronically between themselves and
their trading partners. The Standards for
Electronic Transactions final rule, 45
CFR part 162 subpart K § 162.1101
through subpart R § 162.1802,
(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Transactions
Rule’’) published August 17, 2000,
adopted standards for health care
transactions and code sets. Subsequent
to the Transactions Rule, CMS–0003–P
and CMS–0005–P proposed
modifications to the adopted standards
essential to permit initial
implementation of the standards
throughout the entire healthcare
industry. Currently, MACs have a
process in place to enroll providers for
electronic billing and other EDI
transactions. In support of the HIPAA
Transactions Rule, the purpose of this
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) request
is to establish a prescribed amount of
data that must be submitted by
providers/suppliers that is sufficient to
address all HIPAA transactions. Form
Number: CMS–10164 A/B (OMB control
