outcome of their Level 2 Medicare 

appeal may request a hearing before an 

OMHA ALJ. The Appellant Climate 

Survey will be used to measure 

appellant satisfaction with their OMHA 

appeals experience, as opposed to their 

satisfaction with a specific ruling. 

OMHA was established by the Medicare 

Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 

Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 (Pub. 

L. 108–173) and became operational on 

July 1, 2005. The MMA legislation and 

implementing regulations issued on 

March 8, 2007, instituted a number of 

changes in the appeals process. The 

MMA legislation also directed HHS to 

consider the feasibility of conducting 

hearings using telephone or videoteleconference (VTC) technologies. In 

carrying out this mandate, OMHA 

makes use of both telephone and VTC 

to provide appellants with a vast 

nationwide network Field Offices for 

hearings. The first 3-year administration 

cycle of the OMHA survey began in 

fiscal year (FY) 2008, a second 3-year 

cycle began in FY 2011, a third 3-year 

cycle began in FY 2014, and a fourth 3- 

year cycle began in FY 2018. The survey 

will continue to be conducted annually 

over a 3-year period with the next data 

collection cycle beginning in FY 2021. 

Data collection instruments and 

recruitment materials will be offered in 

English and Spanish. The estimated 

total number of respondents per FY 

starting FY 2021 is 800 respondents. 

The estimated total annual burden 

hours starting FY 2021 is 200 hours. 

Type of respondent; frequency 

(annual, quarterly, monthly, etc.); and 

the affected public (individuals, public 

or private businesses, state or local 

governments, etc.) The survey will be 

conducted annually, and survey 

respondents will consist of Medicare 

beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries (i.e., 

providers, suppliers) who participated 

in a hearing before an OMHA ALJ. 

OMHA will draw a representative, 

nonredundant sample of appellants 

whose cases have been closed in the last 

6 months.

OMB No. 0955–0003—Office of the 

National Coordinator for Health 

Information Technology. 

Abstract: The Office of the National 

Coordinator for Health Information 

Technology is seeking a three-year 

extension of OMB control number 

0955–0003 to continue collecting 

routine customer feedback on agency 

service delivery. The proposed 

information collection activity provides 

a means to garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. Qualitative 

feedback means information that 

provides useful insights on perceptions 

and opinions, and is not statistical 

surveys that yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study. This feedback will 

provide insights into customer or 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences, 

and expectations; provide an early 

warning of issues with the service; or 

focus attention on areas where 

communication, training, or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative, 

and actionable communications 

between the Agency and its customers 

and stakeholders. It will also allow 

feedback to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

The solicitation of feedback will target 

areas such as timeliness, 

appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. Responses 

will be assessed to plan and inform 

efforts to improve or maintain the 

quality of service offered to the public. 

If this information is not collected, vital 

feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the Agency’s services 

will be unavailable. 

Affected Public: Individuals, 

households, professionals, and/or the 

public/private sector. 

Average estimates for the next three 

years: 

Estimated Total Number of 

Respondents: 10,000. 

Expected Annual Number of 

Activities: 6. 

Average Number of Respondents per 

Activity: 1,667.
