Review; Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on CMS’ intention to collect 

information from the public. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, and to allow 

a second opportunity for public 

comment on the notice. Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding the 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. 

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of 

information must be received by the 

OMB desk officer by June 2, 2014: 

ADDRESSES: When commenting on the 

proposed information collections,

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: Revision of currently approved 

collection; Title of Information 

Collection: Medicare Self-Referral 

Disclosure Protocol; Use: The SelfReferral Disclosure Protocol (SRDP) is a 

voluntary self-disclosure instrument 

that allows providers of services and 

suppliers to disclose actual or potential 

violations of section 1877 of the Act. We 

analyze the disclosed conduct to 

determine compliance with section 

1877 of the Act and the application of 

the exceptions to the physician selfreferral prohibition. In addition, the 

authority granted to the Secretary under 

section 6409(b) of the ACA, and 

subsequently delegated to CMS, may be 

used to reduce the amount due and 

owing for violations. 

We are now seeking to further revise 

the currently approved collection. 

Specifically, we are: (1) Creating an 

optional expedited SRDP review process 

(the ‘‘Expedited SRDP Review Process’’) 

for disclosures that meet certain 

eligibility requirements; (2) continuing 

the established SRDP review process 

(the ‘‘Standard SRDP Review Process’’) 

for other disclosures; and (3) revising 

the estimated burden hours based on 

our experience administering the SRDP 

over the past three years.
