Certification and Survey Forms; Use: 

This information collection is for the 

reinstatement of the CMS–359 and

forms is described below. The form 

CMS–359 is an application for health 

care providers that seek to participate in 

the Medicare program as a 

Comprehensive Outpatient

become certified as a CORF and it 

provides the CMS Location and State 

Survey Agency (SA) staff identifying 

information regarding the applicant that 

is stored in the Automated Survey 

Processing Environment (ASPEN) 

system. 

The form CMS–360 is a survey tool 

used by the SAs to record information 

in order to determine a provider’s 

compliance with the CORF Conditions 

of Participation (COPs) and to report 

this information to the Federal 

Government. The form includes basic 

information on the COP requirements, 

check boxes to indicate the level of 

compliance, and a section for recording 

notes. CMS has the responsibility and 

authority for certification decisions 

which are based on provider 

compliance with the COPs and this form 

supports this process. Form Number: 

CMS–359/360 (OMB control number: 

0938–0267); Frequency: Occasionally; 

Affected Public: Private Sector (Business 

or other for-profits); Number of 

Respondents: 179; Number of

115–123, requires State and Tribal child 

welfare agencies to collect and report to 

ACF information on children receiving 

prevention and family services and 

programs. Title IV–E Agencies must 

report the following: 

• The specific services or programs 

provided

the services or programs provided 

• The duration of the services or 

programs provided, and 

• If the child was identified in a 

prevention plan as a candidate for foster

care during the initial 12-month period
