    This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated 
with the following information collections. More detailed information 
can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated 
materials (see ADDRESSES).

CMS-R-284 Transformed--Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS)
CMS-10387 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)

    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: 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-
for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 15,471; Total Annual 
Responses: 4,905,042; Total Annual Hours: 4,169,286. (For policy 
questions regarding this collection contact Heidi Magladry at 410-786-
6034).
