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

notice. 

Information Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Transformed— 

Medicaid Statistical Information System 

(T–MSIS); Use: The data reported in T– 

MSIS are used by federal, state, and 

local officials, as well as by private 

researchers and corporations to monitor 

past and projected future trends in the 

Medicaid program. The data provide the 

only national level information 

available on enrollees, beneficiaries, and 

expenditures. It also provides the only 

national level information available on 

Medicaid utilization. The information is 

the basis for analyses and for cost 

savings estimates for the Department’s 

cost sharing legislative initiatives to 

Congress. The collected data are also 

crucial to our actuarial forecasts. Form 

Number: CMS–R–284 (OMB control 

number: 0938–0345); Frequency: 

Quarterly and monthly; Affected Public: 

State, Local, or Tribal Governments; 

Number of Respondents: 54; Total 

Annual Responses: 684; Total Annual 

Hours: 6,480. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Connie 

Gibson at 410–786–0755.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Minimum Data 

Set 3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed 

Prospective Payment System (PPS) For 

the collection of data related to the 

Patient Driven Payment Model and the 

Skilled Nursing Facility Quality 

Reporting Program (QRP); Use: We are 

requesting to implement the MDS 3.0 

v1.17.2 from Oct 1, 2020 to Oct 1, 2023. 

On May 15, 2020, in response to State 

Medicaid Agency and stakeholder 

requests, we updated the MDS 3.0 item 

sets to version 1.17.2. The changes in 

this version will allow State Medicaid 

Agencies to collect Patient Driven 

Payment Model (PDPM) payment codes 

and thereby inform their future payment 

models. Calculation of the PDPM 

payment code on OBRA assessment is 

not a federal requirement. These item 

set changes do not reflect any change in 

burden from the previous version, MDS 

3.0 v1.17.1. 

CMS uses the MDS 3.0 PPS Item Set 

to collect the data used to reimburse 

skilled nursing facilities for SNF-level 

care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries 

and to collect information for quality 

measures and standardized patient 

assessment data under the SNF QRP. 

Form Number: CMS–10387 (OMB 

control number: 0938–1140); Frequency: 

Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector: 

Business or other for-profit and not-forprofit institutions; Number of
