detailed information can be found in 

each collection’s supporting statement 

and associated materials (see 

ADDRESSES). 

CMS–10598 Evaluation of Stakeholder 

Training and Program Support 

CMS–224–14 Federally Qualified 

Health Center Cost Report Form 

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 Collections 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Evaluation of 

Stakeholder Training and Program 

Support; Use: The Centers for Medicare 

and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides 

training and technical assistance 

primarily through weekly, bi-weekly, 

monthly, or quarterly webinars, 

conferences, and Computer Based 

Trainings (CBTs). In addition, CMS 

provides one-time web-based training 

and support sessions as needed. 

Evaluation instruments are 

electronically sent to participants 

immediately after each session. Current

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 189 / Monday, September 30, 2024 / Notices 79613 

data collections include online and 

onsite training session evaluations. 

CMS uses information from the data 

collection activities to determine the 

extent to which the goals of each 

training and support session were 

achieved and to help CMS make 

improvements for future training and 

support sessions. The collected data 

helps CMS address its Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) 

requirements, as well as CMS and HHS 

goals for support for, and open dialogue 

with, stakeholders. 

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was 

enacted to assist millions of Americans 

in obtaining affordable health care 

services and to allow more employers to 

offer insurance coverage to their 

employees in a cost-effective manner. 

Since the implementation of ACA in 

2014, individuals and small businesses 

have been able to purchase private 

health insurance through competitive 

marketplaces called the ‘‘Health 

Insurance Marketplace’’ (Marketplace). 

CMS issued regulations for the 

establishment and practices of 

Marketplaces in States. The cooperation 

and coordination of States, health 

insurance issuers, the Federal 

Government and other key stakeholders 

is essential to the continued success of 

the Marketplace. 

The Consolidated Appropriations Act 

(CAA) of 2021 became law on December 

27, 2020. It is a $1.4 trillion omnibus 

spending agreement that encompasses 

many different provisions. Two (2) acts 

within the law apply to the Centers for 

Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 

Center for Consumer Information and 

Insurance Oversight (CCIIO): Title I, 

‘‘No Surprises Act’’ and Title II, 

‘‘Transparency’’ (NST). Beginning in 

2022, new protections through the No 

Surprises Act are in place to shield 

millions of consumers from surprise 

medical bills. 

CMS is strongly committed to 

providing training, outreach, and 

technical assistance to stakeholders 

participating in the Marketplace and/or 

programs mandated by the ACA or NST. 

In addition, CMS recognizes that the 

success of Marketplaces and associated 

programs relies on the cooperation and 

coordination of States, issuers, 

Assisters, self-insured health plans, 

third-party administrators (TPA) of selfinsured health plans, agents and 

brokers, Providers/Facilities, and other 

stakeholders. Therefore, CMS expects to 

design and conduct various consumer 

satisfaction and feedback surveys, 

usability tests, and focus groups for 

these respondents to complete. Form 

Number: CMS–10598 (OMB Control 

Number: 0938–1331); Frequency: 

Annually; Affected Public: Individuals 

and Households, Private Sector, State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments, Federal 

Government, Business or other forprofit, and not-for-profit institutions; 

Number of Respondents: 9,588; Number 

of Responses: 9,588 Total Annual 

Hours: 2,397 hours. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Sonia Henderson at 301–492– 

4320.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension without change of a 

previously approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Federally 

Qualified Health Center Cost Report 

Form; Use: The Form CMS–224–14 cost 

report is needed to determine a 

provider’s reasonable cost incurred in 

furnishing medical services to Medicare 

beneficiaries and to calculate the FQHC 

settlement amount. These providers, 

paid under the FQHC prospective 

payment system (PPS), may receive 

reimbursement outside of the PPS for 

Medicare reimbursable bad debts, 

pneumococcal, influenza, and COVID– 

19 vaccines, and monoclonal antibody 

products. CMS uses the Form CMS– 

224–14 for rate setting; payment 

refinement activities, including 

developing a FQHC market basket; 

Medicare Trust Fund projections; and to 

support program operations. 

Additionally, the Medicare Payment 

Advisory Commission (MedPAC) uses 

the FQHC Medicare cost report data to 

calculate Medicare margins; to 

formulate recommendations to Congress 

regarding the FQHC PPS; and to 

conduct additional analysis of the 

FQHC PPS. Form Number: CMS–224–14 

(OMB control number: 0938–1298); 

Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: 

Private Sector, State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments, Federal Government, 

Business or other for-profits, Not-forProfit Institutions; Number of 

Respondents: 2,967; Total Annual 

Responses: 2,967; Total Annual Hours: 

172,086. (For policy questions regarding 

this collection contact LuAnn Piccione 

at 410–786–5423.)
