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 July 3, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Parham at (410) 786-4669.

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: Extension of currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Independent 
Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTFs) Site Investigation Collection; 
Use: The purpose of the site investigation is to ensure that the IDTF 
is in compliance with the provisions of 42 CFR 410.33, as well as all 
other applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations. It is 
also used to verify the information the IDTF furnished on its CMS-855B 
enrollment application. Sections 1814(a), 1815(a), and 1833(e) of the 
Act require the submission of information necessary to determine the 
amounts due to a provider or other person. To fulfill this requirement, 
CMS must collect information on any IDTF supplier who submits a claim 
to Medicare or who applies for a Medicare billing number before 
allowing the IDTF to enroll. This information must, minimally, clearly 
identify the provider and its' place of business as required by CFR 
424.500 (Requirements for Establishing and Maintaining Medicare Billing 
Privileges) and provide all necessary documentation to show they are 
qualified to perform the services for which they are billing. The site 
inspection form allows inspectors to verify the information using a 
standardized information collection methodology. Form Number: CMS-10221 
(OMB control number: 0938-1029); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected 
Public Sector: Private Sector (Business or other for-profits and Not-
for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 652; Total Annual 
Responses: 652; Total Annual Hours: 1,304. (For policy questions 
regarding this collection contact Alisha Sanders at 410-786-0671).
