Under the

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

v1.19.1 beginning October 1, 2024 in
order to meet the requirements of
policies finalized in the Federal Fiscal
Year (FY) 2024 Skilled Nursing Facility
(SNF) Prospective Payment System
(PPS) final rule (CMS–1779–F, RIN
0938–AV02). Specifically, CMS adopted
two new measures and removed three
measures from the SNF QRP. As a result
of these changes, the total annual hour
burden across facilities has decreased,
and the annual cost burden across
facilities has decreased. Form Number:
CMS–10387 (OMB control number:
0938–1140); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Private Sector: Business or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 15,471; Total
Annual Responses: 3,469,183; Total
Annual Hours: 2,861,351. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
contact Heidi Magladry at 410–786–

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension without change of
the previously approved collection;
Title of Information Collection: National
Implementation of the Outpatient and
Ambulatory Surgery Consumer
Assessment of Healthcare Providers and
Systems (OAS CAHPS) Survey; Use: As
documented in the CY 2022 OPPS/ASC
Final Rule (86 FR 63863 through 63866),
OAS CAHPS Survey data will be linked
to reimbursement beginning with CY
2024 for HOPDs and CY 2025 for ASCs.
ASCs will continue with voluntary
implementation of the OAS CAHPS
Survey throughout CY 2024.
HOPDs and ASCs contract with a
CMS-approved, independent third-party
survey vendor to implement the survey
on their behalf and to submit the OAS
CAHPS data to CMS. CMS publicly
reports comparative results from OAS
CAHPS after each facility has conducted
data collection for 4 quarters. Data from
OAS CAHPS enable consumers to make
more informed decisions when choosing
an outpatient surgery facility, aid
facilities in their quality improvement
efforts, and help CMS monitor the
performance of outpatient surgery
facilities. Considering the increasing
Medicare expenditures for outpatient
surgical services from HOPDs and ASCs,
the implementation of OAS CAHPS
provides CMS with much-needed
statistically valid data from the patient
perspective to inform quality
improvement and comparative
consumer information about specific
facilities. The information collected in
the OAS CAHPS survey will be used for
the following purposes: To provide a
source of information from which
patient experience of care measures can
be publicly reported to beneficiaries to
help them make informed decisions for
