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: Reinstatement of a previously 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Physician Group 

Practice Transition Demonstration 

(PGP–TD) Performance Assessment Tool 

(‘‘PAT’’); Use: The Physician Group 

Practice (PGP) Demonstration was 

mandated by section 412 of the 

Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP 

Benefits Improvement and Protection 

Act of 2000 and is the precursor to the 

Medicare Shared Savings Program. 

Section 1899(k) of the Social Security 

Act, as added by section 10307(k) of the 

Affordable Care Act (as amended by 

section 10307 of the Health Care and 

Education Reconciliation Act of 2010), 

states ‘‘the Secretary may enter into an 

agreement with an ACO under the 

Demonstration under section 1866A, 

subject to rebasing and other 

modifications deemed appropriate by 

the Secretary.’’ The Demonstration 

extension is entitled the PGP Transition 

Demonstration (PGP–TD). 

We are seeking reinstatement of the 

collection of information as it was 

erroneously discontinued. Only a 

portion of the information collection 

requirements previously approved 

under 0938–0941 should have been 

discontinued. The collection of 

information is strictly voluntary in 

nature and was developed in 

conjunction with the industry and 

Demonstration participants. Only 

organizations that voluntarily respond 

and elect to participate in the 

Demonstration will be reporting the 

measures. Moreover, CMS will not be 

using this information to regulate or 

sanction but rather to provide financial 

incentives for improving the quality of 

care. The collection of information to be 

used under this extension is being used 

to test quality data collection systems 

and determine incentive payment levels 

to participating physician group 

practices participating in the PGP–TD. 

In addition, this data will be used to 

evaluate the effectiveness of these 

payment models and provide insight 

into the most appropriate way for the 

agency to collect clinical information. 

Form Number: CMS–10136 (OCN: 

0938–0941); Frequency: Yearly; Affected 

Public: Private Sector—Business or 

other for-profits and not-for-profit 

institutions. Number of Respondents: 

10. Number of Responses: 10. Total 

Annual Hours: 790. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Heather Grimsley at 410–786– 

1048. For all other issues call 410–786– 

1326.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; 

Title of Information Collection: 

Conditions for Payment of Power 

Mobility Devices, including Power 

Wheelchairs and Power-Operated 

Vehicles; Use: CMS is renewing our 

request for approval for the collection 

requirements associated with the final 

rule, CMS–3017–F (71 FR 17021), which 

was published on April 5, 2006 and 

became effective on June 5, 2006. The 

regulation CMS–3017–F finalized 

provisions set forth in the interim final 

regulation (70 FR 50940) published on 

August 26, 2005. This final rule 

conforms our regulations to section 

302(a)(2)(E)(iv) of the Medicare 

Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 

Modernization Act of 2003. This rule 

defines the term power mobility devices 

(PMDs) as power wheelchairs and 

power operated vehicles (POVs or 

scooters). It sets forth revised conditions 

for Medicare payment of PMDs and 

defines who may prescribe PMDs. This 

rule also requires a face-to-face 

examination of the beneficiary by the 

physician or treating practitioner, a 

written prescription, and receipt of 

pertinent parts of the medical record by 

the supplier within 45 days after the 

face-to-face examination that the
