FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Parham at (410) 786–4669. 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: PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD–10–PCS); Use: The HIPAA Act of 1996 required CMS to adopt standards for coding systems that are used for reporting health care transactions. The Transactions and Code Sets final rule (65 FR 50312) published in the Federal Register on August 17, 2000 adopted the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD–9–CM) Volumes 1 and 2 for diagnosis codes and ICD–9–CM Volume 3 for inpatient hospital services and procedures as standard code sets for use by covered entities (health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction for which the Secretary has adopted a standard). ICD–9–CM Volumes 1 and 2, and ICD– 9–CM Volume 3 were already widely used in administrative transactions when we promulgated the August 17, 2000 final rule, and we decided that adopting these existing code sets would be less disruptive for covered entities than modified or new code sets. When a request is submitted in MEARISTM, the Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) and Coding Team in the Division of Coding and DRGs (DCDRG) have instant access to the request and accompanying materials to facilitate a more-timely review of the proposed updates or changes. Upon receipt of a procedure code request, CMS immediately acknowledges receipt of the request and communicates to the requestor that additional follow up will occur once an analyst has been assigned. In addition, CMS provides information via email communication in a letter to each requestor outlining the meeting process. CMS holds standard pre-meeting conference calls with requestors to discuss their procedure code topic request in more detail in advance of the ICD–10 C&M Committee Meetings. Also, prior to the committee meeting, we make the procedure code topic meeting materials publicly available, commonly referred to as the ‘‘Agenda packet’’ on our website at: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/codingbilling/icd-10-codes/icd-10coordination-maintenance-committeematerials. Lastly, once the meeting has concluded, CMS sends a follow-up letter to the requestor informing them of next steps in the process so they can anticipate what to expect.

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 of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: The International 
Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System 
(ICD-10-PCS); Use: The HIPAA Act of 1996 required CMS to adopt 
standards for coding systems that are used for reporting health care 
transactions. The Transactions and Code Sets final rule (65 FR 50312) 
published in the Federal Register on August 17, 2000 adopted the 
International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical 
Modification (ICD-9-CM) Volumes 1 and 2 for diagnosis codes and ICD-9-
CM Volume 3 for inpatient hospital services and procedures as standard 
code sets for use by covered entities (health plans, health care 
clearinghouses, and those health care providers who transmit any health 
information in electronic form in connection with a transaction for 
which the Secretary has adopted a standard). ICD-9-CM Volumes 1 and 2, 
and ICD-9-CM Volume 3 were already widely used in administrative 
transactions when we promulgated the August 17, 2000 final rule, and we 
decided that adopting these existing code sets would be less disruptive 
for covered entities than modified or new code sets.
    When a request is submitted in MEARISTM, the Diagnosis 
Related Groups (DRGs) and Coding Team in the Division of Coding and 
DRGs (DCDRG) have instant access to the request and accompanying 
materials to facilitate a more-timely review of the proposed updates or 
changes. Upon receipt of a procedure code request, CMS immediately 
acknowledges receipt of the request and communicates to the requestor 
that additional follow up will occur once an analyst has been assigned. 
In addition, CMS provides information via email communication in a 
letter to each requestor outlining the meeting process. CMS holds 
standard pre-meeting conference calls with requestors to discuss their 
procedure code topic request in more detail in advance of the ICD-10 
C&M Committee Meetings. Also, prior to the committee meeting, we make 
the procedure code topic meeting materials publicly available, commonly

concluded, CMS sends a follow-up letter to the requestor informing them 
of next steps in the process so they can anticipate what to expect.
