CMS–10105 National Implementation 

of the In-Center Hemodialysis CAHPS 

Survey 

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 Collections 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: National 

Implementation of the In-Center 

Hemodialysis CAHPS Survey; Use: The 

national implementation of the ICH 

CAHPS Survey is designed to allow 

third-party, CMS-approved survey 

vendors to administer the ICH CAHPS 

Survey using mail-only, telephone-only, 

or mixed (mail with telephone followup) modes of survey administration. 

Experience from previous CAHPS 

surveys shows that mail, telephone, and 

mail with telephone follow-up data 

collection modes work well for 

respondents, vendors, and health care 

providers. Any additional forms of 

information technology, such as web 

surveys, is under investigation as a 

potential survey option in this 

population.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2010, the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

guidance related to the ‘‘generic’’ 

clearance process. Generally, this is an 

expedited process by which agencies 

may obtain OMB’s approval of 

collection of information requests that 

are ‘‘usually voluntary, low-burden, and 

uncontroversial collections,’’ do not 

raise any substantive or policy issues, 

and do not require policy or 

methodological review. The process 

requires the submission of an 

overarching plan that defines the scope 

of the individual collections that would 

fall under its umbrella. This Federal 

Register notice seeks public comment 

on one or more of our collection of 

information requests that we believe are 

generic and fall within the scope of the 

umbrella. Interested persons are invited 

to submit comments regarding our 

burden estimates or any other aspect of 

this collection of information, 

including: the necessity and utility of 

the proposed information collection for 

the proper performance of the agency’s 

functions, the accuracy of the estimated 

burden, ways to enhance the quality, 

utility and clarity of the information to 

be collected, and the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology to minimize the 

information collection burden. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

December 27, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: When commenting, please 

reference the applicable form number 

(CMS–10398 #83) and the OMB control 

number (0938–1148). To be assured 

consideration, comments and 

recommendations must be submitted in 

any one of the following ways: 

1. Electronically. You may send your 

comments electronically to https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Following 

is a summary of the use and burden 

associated with the subject information 

collection(s). More detailed information 

can be found in the collection’s 

supporting statement and associated 

materials (see ADDRESSES). 

Generic Information Collection 

1. Title of Information Collection: 

PACE SPA Preprint; Type of 

Information Collection Request: New 

information collection request 

information request; Use: The 

information, collected by CMS from the 

state on a one-time basis is needed in 

order to determine if the state has 

properly elected to cover PACE services 

as a Medicaid state plan option. Outside 

of the one-time requirement, states 

would need to update their SPA 

whenever they make changes to their 

eligibility section or rate setting 

methodology. 

This iteration proposes to move our 

non-generic collection of information 

requirements/burden (CMS–10227, 

OMB 0938–1027) with change under 

our generic umbrella (CMS–10398, OMB 

0938–1148). If approved by OMB, we 

will formally discontinue OMB control 

number 0938–1027 (CMS–10227). 

Form Number: CMS–10398 #83 (OMB 

control number: 0938–1148); Frequency: 

Once and on occasion; Affected Public: 

State, Local, or Tribal Governments; 

Number of Respondents: 34; Total 

Annual Responses: 40; Total Annual 

Hours: 5,560. (For policy questions
