Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on CMS’ intention to collect 

information from the public. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, and to allow 

a second opportunity for public 

comment on the notice. Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding the burden estimate or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including the necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions, the accuracy of 

the estimated burden, ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, and the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of 

information must be received by the 

OMB desk officer by February 20, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

To obtain copies of a supporting 

statement and any related forms for the 

proposed collection(s) summarized in 

this notice, please access the CMS PRA 

website by copying and pasting the 

following web address into your web

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William Parham at (410) 786–4669. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-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 that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension without change of a 

currently approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Quality Bonus 

Payment Appeals; Use: Section 1853(o) 

of the Act requires CMS to make QBPs 

to MA organizations that achieve 

performance rating scores of at least 4 

stars under a five-star rating system. 

While CMS has applied a Star Rating 

system to MA organizations for a 

number of years, prior to the QBP 

program these Star Ratings were used 

only to provide additional information 

for beneficiaries to consider in making 

their Part C and D plan elections. 

Beginning in 2012, the Star Ratings CMS 

assigns for purposes of QBPs directly 

affected the monthly payment amount 

MA organizations receive from CMS 

under their contracts. Additionally, 

section 1854(b)(1)(C)(v) of the Act, as 

added by the Affordable Care Act, also 

requires CMS to change the share of 

savings that MA organizations must 

provide to enrollees as the beneficiary 

rebate specified at § 422.266(a) based on 

the level of a sponsor’s Star Rating for 

quality performance. 

The information collected on the 

Request for Reconsideration form from 

MA organizations is considered by the 

reconsideration official and potentially 

the hearing officer to review CMS’s 

determination of the organization’s 

eligibility for a QBP. The form asks MA 

organizations to select the Star Ratings 

measure(s) they believe was 

miscalculated or used incorrect data and 

describe what they believe is the issue. 

Under § 422.260(c)(3)(ii) these are the 

only bases for appeals. In conducting 

the reconsideration, the reconsideration 

official will review the QBP 

determination, the evidence and 

findings upon which it was based, and 

any other written evidence submitted by 

the organization with their Request for 

Reconsideration or by CMS before the 

reconsideration determination is made. 

Form Number: CMS–10346 (OMB 

Control Number 0938–1129; Frequency: 

Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector; 

Number of Respondents: 20; Total 

Annual Responses: 20; Total Annual 

Hours: 160. (For policy questions

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The RHY Program has a 

requirement to collect information from 

all youth who receive shelter and 

supportive services with RHY funding. 

In April 2015, the Administration on 

Children, Youth and Families, through 

a formal Memorandum of 

Understanding, integrated the RHY data 

collection with the U.S. Department of 

Housing and Urban Development’s 

(HUD) HMIS and HUD’s data standards 

along with other federal partners. HUD 

has OMB approval for HUD’s data 

standards and ACF has approval under 

a separate OMB number for the RHY 

data elements. The data collection effort 

includes universal data elements that 

are collected by all federal partners and 

RHY program specific elements, which 

are tailored to the RHY Program using 

HUD’s HMIS. 

Respondents: Youth who receive 

emergency and longer-term shelter and 

supportive services under RHY funding.
