Review; Comment Request
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 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.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by
the OMB desk officer by October 14, 2015:

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: Demonstration
Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services; Use: The Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the Assistant
Secretary of Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) intend to collect
information from states selected to participate in the Section 223
Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services. To
be completed annually by each certified community behavioral health
clinic (CCBHC), the information collection's cost report would be used
to determine each CCBHC's prospective payment system (PPS) rate,
effective January 1, 2017, for the payment of demonstration services.
The cost report would facilitate rate determinations for both PPS-1 and
[[Page 55119]]
PPS-2 (the two methodologies allowed by CMS and specified in CCBHC PPS
guidance previously issued by CMS). The cost report would assist states
in meeting the requirement for annual reporting of CCBHC cost to CMS in
a manner that is consistent with the guidance's cost reporting and
documentation requirements.
Information collections approved under this package's control
number are reviewed/approved under OMB's generic process. As such, they
are usually not subject to formal public review and comment. In this
instance, however, CMS is interested in receiving public input and is
posting the cost report, cost report instructions, and Supporting
Statement on its Web site for public review (see ADDRESSES and DATES).
Form Number: CMS-10398 (#43) (OMB control number 0938-1148);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private sector (not-for-profits
institutions) and State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of
Respondents: 24; Total Annual Responses: 24; Total Annual Hours: 1,832.
(For policy questions regarding this collection contact Mary Cieslicki
at 410-786-4576).
Dated: September 9, 2015.

Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and
Regulatory Affairs.
