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

comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that

Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Application Form and 
Supporting Regulations; Use: The application must be completed by 
entities performing laboratory's testing specimens for diagnostic or 
treatment purposes. This information is vital to the certification 
process. In this revision, the majority of changes were minor changes 
to the form and accompanying instructions to facilitate the completion 
and data entry of the form. However, we added the collection of 
identifying the non-waived testing to be performed to section VIII of 
the form. We anticipate that the change to section VIII will take an 
average of 15 additional minutes to complete. Form Number: CMS-116 (OMB

Affected Public: Private Sector--Business or other for-profits and Not-
