    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.
