Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a previously 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: End Stage Renal 

Disease (ESRD) Network Semi-Annual 

Cost Report Forms and Supporting 

Regulations in 42 CFR section 405.2110 

and 42 CFR 405.2112; Use: Section 

1881(c) of the Social Security Act 

establishes End Stage Renal Disease 

(ESRD) Network contracts. The 

regulations found at 42 CFR 405.2110 

and 405.2112 designated 18 ESRD 

Networks which are funded by 

renewable contracts. These contracts are 

on 3-year cycles. To better administer 

the program, CMS is requiring 

contractors to submit semi-annual cost 

reports. The purpose of the cost reports 

is to enable the ESRD Networks to 

report costs in a standardized manner. 

This will allow CMS to review, compare 

and project ESRD Network costs during 

the life of the contract. Since the last 

collection, the survey instrument has 

been revised. The burden has not 

changed. Form Number: CMS–685 

(OMB#: 0938–0657); Frequency: 

Reporting—Semi-annually; Affected 

Public: Not-for-profit institutions; 

Number of Respondents: 18; Total

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement of a currently 

approved collection; Title: Medicare 

Program: Procedures for Making 

National Coverage Decisions; Use: The 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) revised the April 27, 

1999 (64 FR 22619) notice and 

published a new notice on September 

26, 2003 (68 FR 55634) that described 

the process we use to make Medicare 

coverage decisions including decisions 

regarding whether new technology and 

services can be covered. We have made 

changes to our internal procedures in 

response to the comments we received 

following publication of the 1999 notice 

and experience under our new process. 

Over the past several years, we received 

numerous suggestions to further revise 

our process to continue to make it more 

open, responsive, and understandable to 

the public. We share the goal of 

increasing public participation in the 

development of Medicare coverage 

issues. This will assist us in obtaining 

the information we require to make a 

national coverage determination in a 

timely manner and ensuring that the 

Medicare program continues to meet the 

needs of its beneficiaries. Form Number: 

CMS–R–290 (OCN: 0938–0776); 

Frequency: Annual; Affected Public: 

Private Sector: Business or other forprofits; Number of Respondents: 200; 

Total Annual Responses: 200; Total
