Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

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), Department of Health 

and Human Services, 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 function; 

(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: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Report of a 

Hospital Death Associated with 

Restraint or Seclusion; Use: Executive 

Order 13563, Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review, was signed on 

January 18, 2011. The order recognized 

the importance of a streamlined, 

effective, and efficient regulatory 

framework designed to promote 

economic growth, innovation, job 

creation, and competitiveness. Each 

agency was directed to establish an 

ongoing plan to reduce or eliminate 

burdensome, obsolete, or unnecessary 

regulations to create a more efficient 

and flexible structure. 

The regulation that was published on 

May, 16, 2012 (77 FR 29034) included 

a reduction in the reporting requirement 

related to hospital deaths associated 

with the use of restraint or seclusion, 

§ 482.13(g). Hospitals are no longer 

required to report to CMS those deaths 

where there was no use of seclusion and 

the only restraint was 2-point soft wrist 

restraints. It is estimated that this will 

reduce the volume of reports that must 

be submitted by 90 percent for 

hospitals. In addition, the final rule 

replaced the previous requirement for 

reporting via telephone to CMS, which 

proved to be cumbersome for both CMS 

and hospitals, with a requirement that 

allows submission of reports via 

telephone, facsimile or electronically, as 

determined by CMS. Finally, the 

amount of information that CMS needs 

for each death report in order for CMS 

to determine whether further on-site 

investigation is needed has been 

reduced. 

The Child Health Act (CHA) of 2000 

established in Title V, Part H, Section 

591 of the Public Health Service Act 

(PHSA) minimum requirements 

concerning the use of restraints and 

seclusion in facilities that receive 

support with funds appropriated to any 

Federal department or agency. In 

addition, the CHA enacted Section 592 

of the PHSA, which establishes 

minimum mandatory reporting 

requirements for deaths in such 

facilities associated with use of restraint 

or seclusion. Provisions implementing 

this statutory reporting requirement for 

hospitals participating in Medicare are 

found at 42 CFR 482.13(g), as revised in 

the final rule that published on May 16, 

2012 (77 FR 29034). 

The 60-day Federal Register notice 

published on November 21, 2012, (77 

FR 69848). Subsequently, there was a 

minor revision to the Health Death 

Report form. Form Number: CMS–10455 

(OCN: 0938—New); Frequency: 

Occasionally; Affected Public: Private 

Sector. Number of Respondents: 4,900. 

Number of Responses: 24,500. Total 

Annual Hours: 8,085. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Danielle Miller at 410–786– 

8818. For all other issues call 410–786–
