Request: New Collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Individuals 

Authorized Access to the CMS 

Computer Services; Form Number: 

CMS–10173 (OMB#: 0938–NEW); Use: 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is requesting the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval of the Individuals Authorized 

to Customer Service Application for 

Access to CMS Computer Systems. CMS 

has planned to provide a centralized 

user provisioning and administration 

service that supports the creation, 

deletion, and lifecycle management of 

enterprise identities. This service 

creates accounts, supports Role Based 

Access Control (RBAC), the form flow 

approval process and enterprise identity 

audit and recertification, and provides 

business application integration points. 

An application integration point allows 

business application owners to use the 

form flow process of the user 

provisioning service to approve or deny 

requests for access to business 

applications. The primary purpose of 

this system is to implement a unified 

framework for managing user 

information and access rights, for those 

individuals who apply for and are 

granted access across multiple CMS 

systems and business contexts. 

Information in this system will also be 

used to: (1) Support regulatory and 

policy functions performed within the 

Agency or by a contractor or consultant; 

(2) support constituent requests made to 

a Congressional representative; and (3) 

to support litigation involving the 

Agency related to this system.;
