# 11189 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2013 / Notices

specifically questioning the

government’s calculation of the public

burden.

Comment: The respondent

commented that the extension of the

information collection would violate the

fundamental purposes of the Paperwork

Reduction Act because of the burden it

puts on the entity submitting the

information and the agency collecting

the information. The respondent

opposes granting the extension of the

information collection requirement.

Response: In accordance with the

Paperwork Act (PRA), agencies can

request OMB approval of an existing

information collection. The PRA

requires that agencies use the Federal

Register notice and comment process to

extend the OMB’s approval every three

years. This extension to a previously

approved information collection

pertains to the provision at GSAR

552.211–77, Packing List, which

requires contractors to include a

packing list that verifies the placement

of the order and identifies the items

shipped, a normal commercial practice.

In addition to the information

contractors would normally include on

packing lists, the government requires

identification of the name of the

government credit cardholder,

telephone number and the term ‘‘Credit

Card’’ on the packing list in supply

contracts.

The purpose of the information

collection is to facilitate administration

of government credit card purchases.

Often the government credit cardholder

is different from the consignee receiving

shipment of the supplies. Providing the

additional information ensures the

recipient of the packing list, the

consignee, notifies the government

credit cardholder that the shipment has

been received. Once the notification of

successful shipment has been received,

the cardholder can then authorize

payment. This feedback is essential for

the cardholder to reconcile his/her

monthly statements. This is especially

important if the micropurchase

threshold is raised to support a

contingency operation declaration

under FAR subpart 18.2. Not granting

this extension would increase costs to

the Government during the

reconciliation process and may delay

payments to contractors for shipments

of supplies received.

Comment: The respondent challenged

the estimates used by the agency to

calculate the public burden, stating that

the burden was insufficient and

inadequate to reflect the actual total

burden. Specifically, the respondent

noted that it was unclear as to how the

estimated 4,000 information collection respondents were derived and the

estimated number of packing lists in a

given year. Therefore, the respondent

stated the agency should utilize actual

data from the last fiscal year or an

estimate of the last three to five fiscal

years, reassess the estimated burden,

and revise it upwards to be more

accurate as was done in FAR Case 2007–

006. The respondent also found the

‘‘less than one minute per response

estimate’’ to be unrealistically low

stating the burden requires creating the

packing list.

Response: Serious consideration is

given during the open comment period

to all comments received and

adjustments are made to the paperwork

burden estimate when necessary. The

burden is prepared taking into

consideration the necessary criteria in

OMB guidance for estimating the

paperwork burden put on the entity

submitting the information.

Consideration is given to an entity in

reviewing the instruction; using

technology to collect, process and

disclose information; adjusting existing

practices to comply with requirements;

searching data sources; completing and

reviewing the response and transmitting

or disclosing information. Estimated

burden hours only include those actions

that exceed those a company would take

in the normal course of business.

Careful consideration went into

assessing the burden for this collection.

Packing lists accompanying shipments

of supplies are customary in the normal

course of business, including the

information listed in paragraph (a) of

clause 552.211–77. The public burden is

limited to the annotation on the packing

list the name and telephone number of

the government credit cardholder and

the phrase ‘‘Credit Card.’’

While there is no centralized database

for the collection of the packing lists in

a fiscal year, the agency found the

respondent’s suggestion to use actual

data reasonable to calculate the public

burden. The annual reporting burden

was revised, using actual data from the

government-wide Federal Procurement

Data System (FPDS) for Fiscal Year (FY)

2012. Two types of actions were

analyzed: GSA actions for supplies

where the method of payment was made

by government credit card; and, nonGSA actions for supplies where both

payment was by a government credit

card and a GSA indefinite delivery

contract for supplies was referenced.

Average costs were derived in order for

the government to estimate the number

of packing slips per order. Thus, an

adjustment is made to the annual

reporting burden after review of the

methodology for computing the number of respondents and packing lists in a

given year and the estimated hours per

response.

The government agreed with the

respondent that the time per response

did not allow for review and

transmission of the government credit

cardholder’s name and telephone

number and the phrase ‘‘Credit Card’’

into its packing list system and adjusted

the burden accordingly.

Members of the public may submit

comments for further consideration and

are encouraged to provide data to

support their request for an adjustment.

# I. Background

Among other things, the Centers for

Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is

responsible for administering the

Medicare and Medicaid programs and

coordination and oversight of private

health insurance. Administration and

oversight of these programs involves the

following: (1) Furnishing information to

Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries,

health care providers, and the public;

and (2) maintaining effective

communications with CMS regional

offices, state governments, state

Medicaid agencies, state survey

agencies, various providers of health

care, all Medicare contractors that

process claims and pay bills, National

Association of Insurance Commissioners

(NAIC), health insurers, and other

stakeholders. To implement the various

statutes on which the programs are

based, we issue regulations under the

authority granted to the Secretary of the

Department of Health and Human

Services under sections 1102, 1871,

1902, and related provisions of the

Social Security Act (the Act) and Public

Health Service Act. We also issue

various manuals, memoranda, and

statements necessary to administer and

oversee the programs efficiently.

Section 1871(c) of the Act requires

that we publish a list of all Medicare

manual instructions, interpretive rules,

statements of policy, and guidelines of

general applicability not issued as

regulations at least every 3 months in

the Federal Register

. II. Revised Format for the Quarterly

Issuance Notices

While we are publishing the quarterly

notice required by section 1871(c) of the

Act, we will no longer republish

duplicative information that is available

to the public elsewhere. We believe this

approach is in alignment with CMS’

commitment to the general principles of

the President’s Executive Order 13563

released January 2011 entitled

‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory

Review,’’ which promotes modifying

and streamlining an agency’s regulatory

program to be more effective in

achieving regulatory objectives. Section

6 of Executive Order 13563 requires

agencies to identify regulations that may

be ‘‘outmoded, ineffective, insufficient,

or excessively burdensome, and to

modify, streamline, expand or repeal

them in accordance with what has been

learned.’’ This approach is also in

alignment with the President’s Open

Government and Transparency Initiative

that establishes a system of

transparency, public participation, and

collaboration.

Therefore, this quarterly notice

provides only the specific updates that

have occurred in the 3-month period

along with a hyperlink to the full listing

that is available on the CMS Web site or

the appropriate data registries that are

used as our resources. This information

is the most current up-to-date

information and will be available earlier

than we publish our quarterly notice.

We believe the Web site list provides

more timely access for beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers. We also

believe the Web site offers a more

convenient tool for the public to find

the full list of qualified providers for

these specific services and offers more

flexibility and ‘‘real time’’ accessibility.

In addition, many of the Web sites have

listservs; that is, the public can

subscribe and receive immediate

notification of any updates to the Web

site. These listservs avoid the need to

check the Web site, as notification of

updates is automatic and sent to the

subscriber as they occur. If assessing a

Web site proves to be difficult, the

contact person listed can provide

information.

III. How To Use the Notice

This notice is organized into 15

addenda so that a reader may access the

subjects published during the quarter

covered by the notice to determine

whether any are of particular interest.

We expect this notice to be used in

concert with previously published

notices. Those unfamiliar with a

description of our Medicare manuals

should view the manuals at http://

www.cms.gov/manuals.
