61364 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2013 / Notices 

NIOSH is requesting Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to administer a survey to 

fishermen operating in Alaska fisheries. 

This questionnaire will contain 

questions that measure fishermen’s risk 

perceptions, safety attitudes, and beliefs 

about PFDs, as well as recognition and 

influence of NIOSH risk communication 

activities. The questionnaire will take 

approximately 20 minutes to complete. 

Consistent with the previous OMBapproved data collection protocol, the 

sample size was determined to be 400 

total respondents to achieve a 95% 

confidence level. Two hundred 

independent respondents will be 

sampled just prior to the 2014 season 

and an additional two hundred will be 

sampled just prior to the 2015 season. 

This study has the potential to greatly 

benefit the fishing industry. As a result 

of previous research, NIOSH has gained 

a baseline understanding of fishermen’s 

reasons for not wearing PFDs. With this 

empirical data at hand, an intensive risk 

communication intervention has been 

developed to address fishermen’s 

concerns and remove the barriers that 

are currently in place. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

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

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including any of the 

following subjects: (1) The necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) 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 November 4, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: When commenting on the 

proposed information collections, 

please reference the document identifier

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: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: End Stage Renal 

Disease (ESRD) Application Access 

Request Form; Use: We are developing 

a new suite of systems to support the 

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) 

program. Due to the sensitivity of the 

data being collected and reported, we 

must ensure that only authorized 

personnel have access to data. Personnel 

are given access to the ESRD systems 

through the creation of user IDs and 

passwords within the QualityNet 

Identity Management System (QIMS); 

however, once within the system, the 

system determines the rights and 

privileges the personnel has over the 

data within the system. Such access 

rights include: Viewing and reporting, 

updating adding and deleting. 

The sole purpose of the ESRD 

Application Access Request Form is to 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2013 / Notices 61365 

identify the individual’s data access 

rights once within the ESRD system. 

This data collection is currently being 

accomplished under ‘‘Part B’’ of the 

QualityNet Identity Management 

System Account Form. Once the ESRD 

Application Access Form is approved, 

the QualityNet Identity Management 

System (QIMS) Account Form will be 

revised to remove Part B from the QIMS 

data collection. The ESRD Application 

Access Request Form will be a new form 

and will be assigned its own OMB 

Control number. The ESRD system 

accounts created using the current 

QIMS Account Form—Part B will not 

need to submit an ESRD Application 

Access Form for the creation of their 

account since that information was 

collected under Part B. 

The QIMS Account Registration and 

the ESRD Application Access Request 

forms are required for identity and 

security management of individuals 

accessing the Consolidated Renal 

Operations in a Web Enabled Network 

(CROWNWeb) system and the End Stage 

Renal Disease Quality Incentive 

Program (ESRD QIP) system. The 

CROWNWeb system is the system that 

is mandated for the Medicare and 

Medicaid Programs Conditions of

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement with change of a 

previously approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Home Health 

Conditions of Participation (CoP) and 

Supporting Regulations; Use: The 

information collection requirements 

contained in this request are part of the 

requirements classified as the 

conditions of participation (CoPs) which 

are based on criteria prescribed in law 

and are standards designed to ensure 

that each facility has properly trained 

staff to provide the appropriate safe 

physical environment for patients. 

These particular standards reflect 

comparable standards developed by 

industry organizations such as the Joint 

Commission on Accreditation of 

Healthcare Organizations, and the 

Community Health Accreditation 

Program. The primary users of this 

information will be state agency 

surveyors, the regional home health 

intermediaries, CMS and home health 

agencies (HHAs) for the purpose of 

ensuring compliance with Medicare 

CoPs as well as ensuring the quality of 

care provided by HHA patients. Form

3. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Medicare Prior 

Authorization of Power Mobility 

Devices (PMDs) Demonstration; Use: 

The purpose of the Medicare Prior 

Authorization of Power Mobility 

Devices Demonstration (the 

Demonstration) is to ensure that 

payments for PMDs are appropriate 

before the claims are paid, thereby 

preventing the fraud, waste, and abuse 

in the seven states participating in the 

Demonstration: California, Florida, 

Illinois, Michigan, New York, North 

Carolina and Texas. Additional benefits 

of the Demonstration include ensuring 

that a beneficiary’s medical condition 

warrants their medical equipment under 

existing coverage guidelines and 

preserving their ability to receive 

quality products from accredited 

suppliers. In order to gather qualitative 

information for analysis, the evaluation 

team will use semi-structured interview 

guides that focus on the direct impact of 

the Demonstration on stakeholder 

groups. Stakeholders will be drawn 

from advocacy organizations, power 

mobility device supply companies, state 

and local government, and healthcare 

practitioners. This information 

collection request explains the research 

methodology and data collection 

strategies designed to minimize the 

burden placed on research participants, 

while effectively gathering the data 

needed for the evaluation of the 

Demonstration. Form Number: CMS– 

10471 (OCN: 0938—NEW); Frequency: 

Yearly; Affected Public: Private sector 

(business or other for-profit and not-forprofit institutions) and State and Local
