    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-359/360 Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (CORF) 
Eligibility and Survey Forms and Supporting Regulations

    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: Extension of a currently 
approved information collection; Title of Information Collection: 
Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (CORF) Eligibility and 
Survey Forms and Supporting Regulations; Use: The form CMS-359 is used 
as the application for health care providers seeking to participate in 
the Medicare program as a Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation 
Facility (CORF). This form initiates the process for facilities to 
become certified as a CORF and it provides the CMS Regional Office 
State Survey Agency staff identifying information regarding the 
applicant that is stored in the Automated Survey Processing Environment 
(ASPEN) system.
    The form CMS-360 is a survey tool used by the State Survey Agencies 
to record information in order to determine a provider's compliance 
with the CORF Conditions of Participation (CoPs) and to report this 
information to the Federal government. The form includes basic 
information on the CoP requirements, check boxes to indicate the level 
of compliance, and a section for recording notes. We have the 
responsibility and authority for certification decisions which are 
based on provider compliance with the CoPs and this form supports this 
process. Form Number: CMS-359/360 (OMB Control Number: 0938-0267); 
Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Private Sector (Business or 
other for-profits); Number of Respondents: 50; Number of Responses: 50; 
Total Annual Hours: 123.
