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 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. Information Collections 1. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: End Stage Renal Disease Annual Facility Survey Form; Use: The Program Management and Medical Information System (PMMIS) collects provider-specific and aggregate patient population data on ESRD beneficiaries treated by dialysis and transplant providers. Each facility PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 78875 certification/survey record represents one provider. The CMS–2744 captures certification and other information about ESRD facilities approved by Medicare to provide kidney dialysis and transplant services. Additionally, the CMS–2744 captures activities performed during the calendar year, as well as aggregate year-end population counts for both Medicare beneficiaries and nonMedicare patients. The data elements include basic provider information such as provider certification and type of ownership; aggregated dialysis patient data such as the number of patients, number of deaths, and number of patients receiving different types of dialysis; dialysis treatment data; kidney transplant data such as number of transplants, type of transplants, and number of patients awaiting transplants; and the total number of each method used to obtain kidneys for transplants. The CMS–2744 collects data on hemodialysis patients dialyzing, vocational rehabilitation, and staffing. The accuracy of the Facility Survey depends on complete reporting by each facility. Modifications to the CMS–2744 are (a) collection of days the dialysis facility is open; (b) shifts dialysis is provided; (c) adding ‘‘failed’’ to ‘‘return after transplant’’ for clarity; (d) removing questions related to vocational rehabilitation; and (e) aligning instructions with revisions. Form Number: CMS–2744 (OMB control number: 0938–0447); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 7,726; Total Annual Responses: 7,726; Total Annual Hours: 15,452.
