Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) is publishing the following summary of proposed
collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1)
The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for
the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information collection burden.
1. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: CMS Enterprise Identity Management System; Use:
The Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) solution will provide an
enterprise-wide solution that will also support CMS' senior management
goal to improve the Provider and Health Information Exchange experience
by providing an enterprise-wide set of credentials and single sign-on
capability for multiple CMS applications. In order to prove the
identity of an individual requesting electronic access to CMS protected
information or services, CMS will collect a core set of attributes
about that individual.
These core attributes will be used to:
1. Provide the identity proofing service sufficient data to
establish that the individual's identity is provable to a NIST
assurance level;
2. Store the approval information returned by the identity proofing
service;
3. Provide CMS with additional data for multi-factor identification
(personal questions and answers);
4. Provide the user a single sign-on, federated CMS EIDM ID and
Password;
5. Authenticate the user; and
6. Authorize the user for application access.
The information collected will be gathered and used solely by CMS
and approved contractor(s) and state health insurance exchanges.
Information confidentiality will conform to HIPAA and FISMA
requirements. Respondents may also access CMS Terms of Service and CMS
Privacy Statement on the Web. Form Numbers: CMS-10452 (OCN: 0938-New);
Frequency: Reporting--On occasion; Affected Public: Individuals and
households; Number of Annual Respondents: 26 million; Total Annual
Responses: 26,000,000; Total Annual Hours: 8,666,667. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Robert Burger at 410-786-
2125. For all other issues call 410-786-1326.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: The Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug
Program: Part C Explanation of Benefits CFR 422.111(b)(12); Use: CMS is
requesting OMB approval for the information collection requirements
referenced in the April 15, 2011 final rule revising the Medicare
Advantage (MA) and Part D programs for calendar year 2012 (77 FR 21432-
21577). The rule revised the MA disclosure requirements in 42 CFR
422.111(b) by adding the authority for CMS to require MA organizations
to furnish a written explanation of benefits directly to enrollees, in
a manner specified by CMS and in a form easily understandable to
enrollees, when benefits are provided under Part 422. The collection
instrument that requires OMB approval concerns the disclosure
requirements in paragraph 42 CFR 422.111(b)(12). This information
collection request would require MA organizations to furnish directly
to enrollees, in the manner specified by CMS and in a form easily
understandable to such enrollees, a written explanation of benefits,
when benefits are provided under Part 422. Form Number: CMS-10453 (OCN:
0938-New); Frequency: On occasion; Affected Public: Private Sector--
Business or other for-profits. Number of Respondents: 564. Number of
