Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing 

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 

regarding the burden estimate 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 on the collection(s) of 

information must be received by the 

OMB desk officer by July 11, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

proposed collection(s) summarized in 

this notice, you may make your request

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: 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.

Magladry at 410–786–6034). 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Reform of 

Requirements for Long-Term Care 

Facilities; Use: According to our data, as 

of April 2, 2021, there were 15,372 LTC 

facilities in the United States. These 

facilities are currently caring for 

1,290,290 residents. Since the number 

of LTC facilities and residents varies 

yearly, for the purposes of this analysis, 

we utilized estimates of 15,600 for LTC 

facilities and 1.3 million residents. LTC 

facilities include skilled nursing 

facilities (SNFs) as defined in section 

1819(a) of the Social Security Act in the 

Medicare program and nursing facilities 

(NFs) as defined in 1919(a) of the Act in 

the Medicaid program. SNFs and NFs 

provide skilled nursing care and related 

services for residents who require 

medical or nursing care, or 

rehabilitation services for the 

rehabilitation of injured, disabled, or 

sick persons. In addition, NFs provide 

health-related care and services to 

individuals who because of their mental 

or physical condition require care and 

services (above the level of room and 

board) which can be made available to 

them only through institutional 

facilities, and is not primarily for the 

care and treatment of mental diseases. 

SNFs and NFs must care for their 

residents in such a manner and in such 

an environment as will promote 

maintenance or enhancement of the 

quality of life of each resident and must 

provide to residents services to attain or 

maintain the highest practicable 

physical, mental, and psychosocial 

well-being of each resident, in 

accordance with a written plan of care, 

which describes the medical, nursing, 

and psychosocial needs of the resident 

and how such needs will be met and is 

updated periodically. 

Under the authority of sections 1819 

and 1919 of the Act, the Secretary 

proposed to reform the requirements 

that SNFs and NFs must meet to 

participate in the Medicare & Medicaid 

programs. These requirements would be 

set forth in 42 CFR 483 subpart B as 

Requirements for LTC Care Facilities. 

The requirements apply to an LTC 

facility as an entity as well as the 

services furnished to each individual 

under the care of the LTC facility, 

unless a requirement is specifically 

limited to Medicare or to Medicaid 

beneficiaries. To implement these 

requirements, State survey agencies 

generally conduct surveys of LTC 

facilities to determine whether or not 

they are complying with the 

requirements. 

Ordinarily, we would be required to 

estimate the public reporting burden for 

information collection requirements 

(ICRs) for these regulations in 

accordance with chapter 35 of title 44, 

United States Code. However, sections 

4204(b) and 4214(d) of Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1987, Public Law 

100–203 (OBRA ’87) provide for a 

waiver of Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA) requirements for some 

regulations. At the time that the 2016 

LTC final rule (81 FR 68688) published, 

we believed that this waiver still 

applied to those updates we made to 

existing requirements in part 483 

subpart B that were set forth by OBRA 

87. However, we acknowledged that the 

2016 final rule also extensively revised 

many of the existing requirements in 

part 483 subpart B and recognized that 

the revisions likely created new burdens 

for facilities. In addition, we noted that 

the 2016 final rule implemented several 

new requirements set forth by the 

Affordable Care Act, which were not 

included in the PRA waiver. Therefore, 

we provided burden estimates for the 

new ICRs finalized in the 2016 LTC 

final rule set forth by the Affordable 

Care Act, as well as those revisions to 

existing requirements in part 483 

subpart B that were so extensive they 

could be considered new ICRs in 

concept. For the current or 2022 

information collection request (ICR), we 

have provided updates to the burden in 

the 2019 ICR, as well as provided 

burden estimates for all of the new ICs 

finalized since 2016 that were in effect 

as of May 2021. The ICRs and the rules 

they were finalized in are indicated in 

table below.
