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.

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 November 23, 2022.
