SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Contents 

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

Participation and Supporting 

Regulations 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(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: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Payment 

Collection Operations Contingency 

Plan; Use: Under sections 1401, 1411, 

and 1412 of the Affordable Care Act and 

45 CFR part 155 subpart D, an Exchange 

makes an advance determination of tax 

credit eligibility for individuals who 

enroll in Qualified Health Plan (QHP) 

coverage through the Exchange and seek 

financial assistance. Using information 

available at the time of enrollment, the 

Exchange determines whether the 

individual meets the income and other 

requirements for advance payments and 

the amount of the advance payments 

that can be used to pay premiums. 

Advance payments are made 

periodically under section 1412 of the 

Affordable Care Act to the issuer of the 

QHP in which the individual enrolls. 

Section 1402 of the Affordable Care Act 

provides for the reduction of cost 

sharing for certain individuals enrolled 

in a QHP through an Exchange, and 

section 1412 of the Affordable Care Act 

provides for the advance payment of 

these reductions to issuers. The statute 

directs issuers to reduce cost sharing for 

essential health benefits for individuals 

with household incomes between 100 

and 400 percent of the Federal poverty 

level (FPL) who are enrolled in a silver 

level QHP through an individual market 

Exchange and are eligible for advance 

payments of the premium tax credit. 

Health insurance issuers will manually 

enter enrollment and payment data into 

a Microsoft Excel-based spreadsheet, 

and submit the information to HHS. The 

data collection will be used by HHS to 

make payments or collect charges from 

issuers under the following programs: 

advance payments of the premium tax 

credit, advanced cost-sharing 

reductions, and Marketplace user fees. 

HHS will use the information collected 

to make payments and collect charges in 

January 2014 and for a number of 

months thereafter, as may be required 

based on HHS’ operational progress. 

Form Number: CMS–10515 (OCN: 

0938–1217); Frequency: Monthly; 

Affected Public: Private sector (business 

or other for-profits and not-for-profit 

institutions); Number of Respondents: 

575; Total Annual Responses: 7,475; 

Total Annual Hours: 51,175. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Jaya Ghildiyal at 301–492– 

5149.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Hospital 

Conditions of Participation and 

Supporting Regulations; Use: The 

information collection requirements 

described in this information collection 

request are needed to implement the 

Medicare and Medicaid conditions of 

participation (CoP) for 4,890 accredited 

and non-accredited hospitals and an 

additional 101 critical access hospitals 

(CAHs) that have distinct part 

psychiatric or rehabilitation units 

(DPUs). CAHs that have DPUs must 

comply with all of the hospital CoPs on 

these units. Thus, this package reflects 

the paperwork burden for a total of 

4,991 (that is, 4,890 hospitals and 101 

CAHs which include 81 CAHs that have 

psychiatric DPUs and 20 CAHs that 

have rehabilitation DPUs). The 

information collection requirements for 

the remaining 1,183 CAHs have been 

reported in a separate package under 

CMS–10239. 

The CoPs and accompanying 

requirements specified in the 

supporting regulations are used by our 

surveyors as a basis for determining 

whether a hospital qualifies for a 

provider agreement under Medicare and 

Medicaid. CMS and the health care 

industry believe that the availability to 

the facility of the type of records and 

general content of records, which this 

regulation specifies, is standard medical 

practice and is necessary in order to 

ensure the well-being and safety of 

patients and professional treatment 

accountability. Form Number: CMS–R– 

48 (OCN: 0938–0328); Frequency: 

Yearly; Affected Public: Private sector 

(business or other for-profits); Number 

of Respondents: 4,991; Total Annual 

Responses: 1,342,424; Total Annual 

Hours: 18,84,0617. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Scott 

Cooper at 410–786–9465.)
