Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

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 any of the following subjects: (1) 
The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for 
the proper performance of the agency's functions; (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.

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by 
the OMB desk officer by October 14, 2015:

ADDRESSES: When commenting, please reference the document identifier or 
OMB control number. To be assured consideration, comments and

    3. Call the Reports Clearance Office at (410) 786-1326.

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: Revision of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Demonstration 
Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services; Use: The Centers 
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Substance Abuse and 
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the Assistant 
Secretary of Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) intend to collect 
information from states selected to participate in the Section 223 
Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services. To 
be completed annually by each certified community behavioral health 
clinic (CCBHC), the information collection's cost report would be used 
to determine each CCBHC's prospective payment system (PPS) rate, 
effective January 1, 2017, for the payment of demonstration services. 
The cost report would facilitate rate determinations for both PPS-1 and

[[Page 55119]]

PPS-2 (the two methodologies allowed by CMS and specified in CCBHC PPS 
guidance previously issued by CMS). The cost report would assist states 
in meeting the requirement for annual reporting of CCBHC cost to CMS in 
a manner that is consistent with the guidance's cost reporting and 
documentation requirements.
    Information collections approved under this package's control 
number are reviewed/approved under OMB's generic process. As such, they 
are usually not subject to formal public review and comment. In this 
instance, however, CMS is interested in receiving public input and is 
posting the cost report, cost report instructions, and Supporting 
Statement on its Web site for public review (see ADDRESSES and DATES).
    Form Number: CMS-10398 (#43) (OMB control number 0938-1148); 
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private sector (not-for-profits 
institutions) and State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of 
Respondents: 24; Total Annual Responses: 24; Total Annual Hours: 1,832. 
(For policy questions regarding this collection contact Mary Cieslicki 
at 410-786-4576).

    Dated: September 9, 2015.

Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and
