Services (HHS).

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 the necessity and utility of the 
proposed information collection for the proper performance of the 
agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected, and 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 December 12, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of

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: New collection (Request 
for a new OMB control number); Title: Supplemental to Form CMS-2552-10; 
Payment Adjustment for Domestic NIOSH-Approved Surgical N95 
respirators; Use: This supplemental form supports the policy goal of 
ensuring that quality PPE is available to health care personnel when 
needed by maintaining production levels of wholly domestically-made 
PPE, a policy goal emphasized in the National Strategy for a Resilient 
Public Health Supply Chain, published in July 2021 as a deliverable of 
President Biden's Executive Order 14001 on ``A Sustainable Public 
Health Supply Chain.'' The supplemental form calculates a payment 
adjustment for an 1886(d) hospital and/or a hospital paid for 
outpatient services under the hospital outpatient prospective payment 
system (OPPS) purchasing domestic NIOSH-approved surgical N95 
respirators (domestic respirators) effective for cost reporting periods 
beginning on or after January 1, 2023. A hospital eligible for the 
payment adjustment must complete this supplemental form and submit the 
form with its Medicare cost report that covers the same cost reporting 
period.
    This information collection request is associated with the final 
rule CMS-1772-FC (RIN: 0938-AU82) that displayed at the Federal 
Register on November 3, 2022, and is scheduled for publication on
