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 (request
for a new OMB control number). Title of Information Collection: MAC
Satisfaction Indicator (MSI) Participant Information Registration Form.
Use: Section 1874(A)(b)(3)(B) of the Social Security Act requires that
provider satisfaction be a performance standard for the work of
Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs). In order to gain provider
feedback regarding their satisfaction with their MACs, we need to be
able to contact the providers. Therefore, we need accurate contact
information to: select from a random sample, forward the survey to the
appropriate respondent, and increase response rates. The survey will
not be added to this package. Instead, it will be processed under a
different control number via an Interagency Agreement. Form Number:
CMS-10457 (OCN 0938-New). Frequency: Yearly. Affected Public: Private
Sector (business or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions).
Number of Respondents: 150,000. Total Annual Responses: 150,000. Total
Annual Hours: 2,500. (For policy questions regarding this collection
