Information Collection Request Title: Health Insurance Reform Security Standards--Final Rule. The final rule was published in the Federal Register (68 FR 8334) as CMS-0049-F published on February 20, 2003. On May 22, 2013, CMS 0938-0949 was transferred to OCR 0945-0004. Abstract: Office of Civil Rights, OCR requests approval to extend this collection without change while OMB reviews our request to incorporate the burdens of compliance with the Security Rule into another existing ICR (OMB #0945-0003, for the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Supporting Regulations), which is being revised to better reflect our experience in administering and enforcing the HIPAA Rules. This ICR extends the existing approved information collection for applicable compliance activities associated with the HIPAA Security Rule. When the revised ICR with OMB #0945-0003 is approved, we will request that this ICR (OMB #0945-0004) be discontinued. Likely Respondents: HIPAA covered entities and their business associates.
