CMS–10549 Generic Clearance for 

Questionnaire Testing and 

Methodological Research for the 

Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey 

(MCBS) 

Under the 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 

requires Federal agencies to publish a 

60-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. 

Information Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension without change of a 

currently approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Generic 

Clearance for Questionnaire Testing and 

Methodological Research for the 

Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey 

(MCBS); Use: The purpose of this OMB 

clearance package is to extend the 

approval of the current generic 

clearance for the Medicare Current 

Beneficiary Survey (MCBS). The MCBS 

Questionnaire Testing and 

Methodological Research encompasses 

development and testing of MCBS 

questionnaires, instrumentation, and 

data collection protocols, as well as a 

mechanism for conducting 

methodological experiments. The 

current clearance includes six types of 

potential research activities: (1) 

cognitive interviewing, (2) focus groups, 

(3) usability testing, (4a) field testing 

within the MCBS production 

environment, (4b) field testing as a 

separate data collection effort outside of 

the MCBS production environment, (5) 

respondent debriefings, and (6) research 

about incentives. 

The MCBS is a continuous, 

multipurpose survey of a nationally 

representative sample of aged, disabled, 

and institutionalized Medicare 

beneficiaries. The MCBS, which is 

sponsored by the Centers for Medicare 

& Medicaid Services (CMS), is the only 

comprehensive source of information on 

the health status, health care use and 

expenditures, health insurance 

coverage, and socioeconomic and 

demographic characteristics of the 

entire spectrum of Medicare 

beneficiaries. The core of the MCBS is 

a series of interviews with a stratified 

random sample of the Medicare 

population, including aged and disabled 

enrollees, residing in the community or 

in institutions. Questions are asked 

about enrollees’ patterns of health care 

use, charges, insurance coverage, and 

payments over time. Respondents are 

asked about their sources of health care 

coverage and payment, their 

demographic characteristics, their 

health and work history, and their 

family living circumstances. In addition 

to collecting information through the 

core questionnaire, the MCBS collects 

information on special topics. Form 

Number: CMS–10549 (OMB control 

number: 0938–1275); Frequency: 

Occasionally; Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households; Number of 

Respondents: 11,655; Total Annual 

Responses: 11,655; Total Annual Hours:
