Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Public Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of 
Health and Human Services, announces plans to submit an Information 
Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB). The ICR is for extending the use of the approved 
information collection assigned OMB control number 0945-0004, which 
expires on May 31, 2016. Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, OS seeks 
comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any 
other aspect of the ICR.

DATES: Comments on the ICR must be received on or before May 16, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to 
[email protected] or by calling (202) 690-6162.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information Collection Clearance 
staff, [email protected] or (202) 690-6162.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the document identifier HHS-OS-60D for 
reference.
    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.
