and Major Renovations of Federal
Buildings’’ by:
• Allowing assessors and auditors to
independently verify the criteria and
measurement metrics of the system
• Being developed by a certification
organization that provides an
opportunity for public comment on the
system and provides an opportunity for
development and revision of the system
through a consensus-based process
• Being nationally recognized within
the building industry
• Being subject to periodic evaluation
and assessment of the environmental
and energy benefits that result under the
certification system, and
• Including a verification system for
post-occupancy assessment of the rated
buildings to demonstrate continued
energy and water savings at least every
four years after initial occupancy
For existing buildings, GSA
recommends that agencies consider the
use of BOMA Best, BREEAM In-Use,
Green Globes, LEED, Living Building
Challenge, Living Building Challenge
CORE, or PHIUS CORE Revive. Each of
these systems contains requirements
and options that align to varying degrees
with green building performance criteria
and provides a sound approach to
certification of high-performance green
Federal buildings. It is important for
agencies to ensure that the options
selected within a certification system
are those that align with Federal criteria
in order to realize the benefits of using
such a system. GSA recommends
agencies use the certification system
that best meets their mission, building
type, and portfolio needs and certify to
a level that promotes the high
performance sustainable building goals
referenced in Executive Orders 14008
and 14057.
It should be noted that on October 14,
2014, the U.S. DOE published its final
rule that formally identifies criteria that
green building certification systems
must meet in order to be used by the
Federal Government. This GSA request
for public comment is not for the
purposes of that final rulemaking, but to
inform GSA on its related
responsibilities to study green building
certification systems and recommend
ones to the DOE that may fit within the
framework of the final rule. DOE’s final
rule can be found at https://

Information Collection Activities:
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request

Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On May 28, 2010, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
guidance related to the ‘‘generic’’
clearance process. Generally, this is an
expedited process by which agencies
may obtain OMB’s approval of
collection of information requests that
are ‘‘usually voluntary, low-burden, and
uncontroversial collections,’’ do not
raise any substantive or policy issues,
and do not require policy or
methodological review. The process
requires the submission of an
overarching plan that defines the scope
of the individual collections that would
fall under its umbrella. This Federal
Register notice seeks public comment
on one or more of our collection of
information requests that we believe are
generic and fall within the scope of the
umbrella. Interested persons are invited
to submit comments regarding our
burden estimates or any other aspect of
this collection of information,
including: the necessity and utility of
the proposed information collection for
the proper performance of the agency’s
functions, the accuracy of the estimated
burden, ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to
be collected, and the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology to minimize the
information collection burden.
DATES: Comments must be received by
August 13, 2024.
ADDRESSES: When commenting, please
reference the applicable form number
(CMS–10434 #82) and the OMB control
number (0938–1188). To be assured
consideration, comments and
recommendations must be submitted in
any one of the following ways:
1. Electronically. You may send your
comments electronically to https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because of
system limitations, we are submitting
this generic collection of information
request on an interim basis under CMS–
10434 (OMB 0938–1188). At the
appropriate time we will move this
request under its proper place (CMS–
10398, OMB 0938–1148) and
subsequently remove it from CMS–
10434 to prevent duplication. The
public can monitor the status of such
activities at reginfo.gov.
Following is a summary of the use
and burden associated with the subject
information collection(s). More detailed
information can be found in the
collection’s supporting statement and
associated materials (see ADDRESSES).
Generic Information Collection
1. Title of Information Collection:
Quality Improvement Affinity Group
Expression of Interest Form; Type of
Information Collection Request: New
information collection request
information request; Use: The new
CMCS Quality Improvement Affinity
Group Expression of Interest (EOI) Form
will replace the following topic-specific
EOI forms: CMS–10398 #72 for Infant
Well-Care and CMS–10398 #76 for
Maternal Health. Both will be
discontinued sometime after the new
form is approved by OMB. We host
multiple affinity groups with
overlapping time frames, with health
topics changing to meet state interest
and needs as well as to address
emerging health disparities as new
health data becomes available. In this
iteration, we intend for a more general
EOI form that will not change with new
affinity groups; it will remain the same
no matter the subject matter therefore
burden will not change. The general

CMS–10829 Improper Payment PreTesting and Assessment (IPPTA) Data
Request Form
Under the 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
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of

information, including each proposed

submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.
Information Collections
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: National
Provider Identifier (NPI) Application
and Update Form and Supporting Regs
in 45 CFR 142.408, 45 CFR 162.408, 45
CFR 162.406; Use: The adoption by the
Secretary of HHS of the standard unique
health identifier for health care
providers is a requirement of the Health
Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
The unique identifier is to be used on
standard transactions and may be used
for other lawful purposes in the health
care system. The CMS Final Rule
published on January 23, 2004, adopts
the National Provider Identifier (NPI) as
the standard unique health identifier for
health care providers. Health care
providers that are covered entities under
HIPAA must apply for and use NPIs in
standard transactions. Other health care
providers are eligible for NPIs but are
not required by regulation to apply for
them or use them. Health care providers
began applying for NPIs on May 23,
2005.
The National Provider Identifier
Application and Update Form is used
by health care providers to apply for
NPIs and furnish updates to the
information they supplied on their
initial applications. The form is also
used to deactivate their NPIs if
necessary. The original application form
was approved in February 2005 and has
been in use since May 23, 2005. The
form is available on paper or can be
completed via a web-based process.
Health care providers can mail a paper
application, complete the application
via the web-based process via the
National Plan and Provider
Enumeration System (NPPES), or have a
trusted organization submit the
application on their behalf via the
Electronic File Interchange (EFI)
process. The Enumerator uses the
NPPES to process the application and
generate the NPI. NPPES is the Medicare
contractor tasked with issuing NPIs, and
maintaining and storing NPI data. Form
