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: Extension without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Generic
Clearance for Questionnaire Testing and
Methodological Research for the
Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey
(MCBS); Use: The purpose of this OMB
clearance package is to extend the
approval of the current generic
clearance for the Medicare Current
Beneficiary Survey (MCBS). The MCBS
Questionnaire Testing and
Methodological Research encompasses
development and testing of MCBS
questionnaires, instrumentation, and
data collection protocols, as well as a
mechanism for conducting
methodological experiments. The
current clearance includes six types of
potential research activities: (1)
cognitive interviewing, (2) focus groups,
(3) usability testing, (4a) field testing
within the MCBS production
environment, (4b) field testing as a
separate data collection effort outside of
the MCBS production environment, (5)
respondent debriefings, and (6) research
about incentives.
The MCBS is a continuous,
multipurpose survey of a nationally
representative sample of aged, disabled,
and institutionalized Medicare
beneficiaries. The MCBS, which is
sponsored by the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS), is the only
comprehensive source of information on
the health status, health care use and
expenditures, health insurance
coverage, and socioeconomic and

demographic characteristics of the
entire spectrum of Medicare
beneficiaries. The core of the MCBS is
a series of interviews with a stratified
random sample of the Medicare
population, including aged and disabled
enrollees, residing in the community or
in institutions. Questions are asked
about enrollees’ patterns of health care
use, charges, insurance coverage, and
payments over time. Respondents are
asked about their sources of health care
coverage and payment, their
demographic characteristics, their
health and work history, and their
family living circumstances. In addition
to collecting information through the
core questionnaire, the MCBS collects
information on special topics. Form
