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 a 
previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: End 
Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Medical Information Facility Survey; Use: 
The ESRD Program Management and Medical Information System (PMMIS) 
Facility Certification/Survey Record contains provider-specific and 
aggregate patient population data on beneficiaries treated by that 
provider obtained from the Annual Facility Survey form (CMS-2744). The 
Facility Certification portion of the record captures certification and 
other information about ESRD facilities approved by Medicare to provide 
kidney dialysis and transplant services. The Facility Survey portion of 
the record captures activities performed during the calendar year as 
well as aggregate year-end population counts for both Medicare 
beneficiaries and non-Medicare patients. The survey includes the 
collection on hemodialysis patients dialyzing more than 4 times per 
week, vocational rehabilitation and staffing. The aggregate patient 
information is collected from each Medicare-approved provider of 
dialysis and kidney transplant services. The information is used to 
assess and evaluate the local, regional and national levels of medical 
and social impact of ESRD care and is used extensively by researchers 
and suppliers of services for trend analysis. Form Number: CMS-2744 
(OMB control number: 0938-0447); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: 
Business or other for-profit, Not-for-profit institutions; Number of 
Respondents: 5,964; Total Annual Responses: 5,964; Total Annual Hours:
