SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Contents

    This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated 
with the following information collections. More detailed information 
can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated 
materials (see ADDRESSES).
CMS-10148 HIPAA Administrative Simplification Complaint Form
    Under the 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 requires federal agencies 
to publish a 60-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.
    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement with 
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information 
Collection: HIPAA Administrative Simplification Complaint Form; Use: 
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) became 
law in 1996 (Pub. L. 104-191). Subtitle F of Title II of HIPAA, titled 
``Administrative Simplification,'' (A.S.) requires the Secretary of HHS 
to adopt national standards for certain information-related activities 
of the health care industry. The HIPAA provisions, by statute, apply 
only to ``covered entities'' referred to in section 1320d-2(a) (1) of 
this title. Responsibility for administering and enforcing the HIPAA 
A.S. Transactions, Code Sets, Identifiers has been delegated to the 
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This updated 
information collection will be used to initiate enforcement actions.
    This reinstatement request clarifies the removal of the HIPAA 
Security complaint category. Specifically, the information collection 
revisions clarify the ``Identify the HIPAA Non-Privacy/Security 
complaint category'' section of the complaint form. In this section, 
complainants are given an opportunity to check the ``Unique 
Identifiers'' and ``Operating Rules'' option to additionally categorize 
the type of HIPAA complaint being filed. The revised form now includes 
an option for identifying Unique Identifier and Operating Rules 
complaints. It also requests email information about filed against 
entities, if available. Form Number: CMS-10148 (OMB control number: 
0938-0948); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals; 
Number of Respondents: 500; Total Annual Responses: 500; Total Annual 
Hours: 500. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact 
Kevin Stewart at 410-786-6149.)
