Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 22, 2022 / Notices 37339 

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: Reinstatement with change of a 

previously approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Hospital and 

Health Health Care Complex Cost 

Report; Use: CMS requires the Form 

CMS–2552–10 to determine a hospital’s 

reasonable cost incurred in furnishing 

medical services to Medicare 

beneficiaries and calculate the hospital 

reimbursement. Hospitals paid under a 

prospective payment system (PPS) may 

receive reimbursement in addition to 

the PPS for hospital-specific 

adjustments such as Medicare 

reimbursable bad debts, 

disproportionate share, uncompensated 

care, direct and indirect medical 

education costs, and organ acquisition 

costs. CMS uses the Form CMS–2552– 

10 for rate setting; payment refinement 

activities, including developing a 

hospital market basket; and Medicare 

Trust Fund projections; and to support 

program operations. Additionally, the 

Medicare Payment Advisory 

Commission (MedPAC) uses the 

hospital cost report data to calculate 

Medicare margins (a measure of the 

relationship between Medicare’s 

payments and providers’ Medicare 

costs) and analyze data to formulate 

Medicare Program recommendations to 

Congress. 

This submission seeks to reinstate the 

information collection request. The 

changes in burden and cost for the Form 

CMS–2552–10 are a result of the 

following three factors. 

• The number of respondents 

decreased by 13 (from 6,088 in 2018 to 

6,075 in 2022), which is the net result 

of new hospitals certified to participate 

in the Medicare program and existing 

hospitals terminated from the Medicare 

program; 

• The hourly rates and associated 

administrative/overhead costs increased 

based on data from the BLS 2021 

Occupation Outlook Handbook (for 

categories 43–3031, bookkeeping, 

accounting and auditing clerks, and 13– 

2011, accounting and audit 

professionals) that resulted in an 

increased cost per provider from 

$31,411.36 in 2018 to $34,367.18 in 

2022; and, 

• The per-respondent burden 

increased by 1 hour (from 673 hours in 

2018 to 674 hours in 2022), the result 

of adding the Worksheet S–10, Part II, 

for hospitals to report the hospital 

uncompensated and indigent care data 

for the hospital CCN, and adding the 

Worksheet D–6, Parts I, II, and III, for 

hospitals to report the acquisition cost 

of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells 

for transplant. 

Form Number: CMS–2552–10 (OMB 

control number: 0938–0050); Frequency: 

Occasionally; Affected Public: Private 

Sector; Business or other for-profit and 

not-for-profit institutions; Number of 

Respondents: 6,075; Total Annual 

Responses: 6,075; Total Annual Hours: 

4,094,550. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Gail 

Duncan at 410–786–7278.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Blueprint for 

Approval of State-based Exchange; Use: 

The Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act (ACA) and its implementing 

regulations provide states with 

flexibility in the design and operation of 

Exchanges to ensure states are 

implementing Exchanges that best meet 

the needs of their consumers. States can 

choose to establish and operate a Statebased Exchange (SBE) or a State-based 

Exchange on the Federal Platform (SBE– 

FP). To ensure a state can operate a 

successful and compliant SBE or SBE– 

FP, it is critical that states provide CMS 

with a complete and thorough Exchange 

Blueprint Application, Declaration of 

Intent Letter, and attest to demonstrate 

operational readiness. The information 

collected from states will be used by 

CMS, IRS, SSA and reviewed by other 

Federal agencies to determine if a state 

can implement a complete and fully 

operational Exchange. Form Number: 

CMS–10416 (OMB control number: 

0938–1172); Frequency: Annually; 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

governments; Number of Respondents: 

4; Total Annual Responses: 21; Total 

Annual Hours: 126. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection
