AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health 
and Human Services.

    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), Department of Health and Human Services, 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 function; (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: Extension of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Program 
Budget Report; Use: The Medicaid Program Budget Report is prepared by 
the State Medicaid agencies and is used by CMS for developing national 
Medicaid budget estimates, qualification of budget estimate changes, 
and the issuance of quarterly Medicaid grant awards.
    Form Number: CMS-37 (OMB 0938-0101); Frequency: Quarterly; 
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of 
Respondents: 56; Total Annual Responses: 224; Total Annual Hours:

    2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Conditions of 
Participation for Portable X-ray Suppliers and Supporting Regulations 
in 42 CFR 486.104, 486.106, 486.110; Use: These requirements contained 
in this information collection request are classified as conditions of 
participation or conditions for coverage. These conditions are based on

``furnished in a place of residence used as the patient's home,'' and 
are designed to ensure that each supplier has a properly trained staff 
to provide the appropriate type and level of care, as well as, a safe 
physical environment for patients. CMS uses these conditions to certify 
suppliers of portable X-ray services wishing to participate in the 
Medicare program. This is standard medical practice and is necessary in

medial treatment accountability for each patient. Form Number: CMS-R-43
