Terms of Clearance:
In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is not approved at this time. Prior to publication of the final rule, the agency should provide to OMB a summary of all comments received on the proposed information collection and identify any changes made in response to these comments. Also in the next submission, CMS will evaluate whether the 9 or fewer exemption under 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(4) was properly applied to each of the provisions listed under section 12B of the current (Oct 2021) supporting statement. If it was not applied properly, CMS will correct the supporting statement within 18 months from the date of this TOC. While a provision may have 9 or fewer respondents annually, the provision may still be subject to the PRA if the respondents represent the majority or all of an industry or sector. Also in the next submission, CMS shall seek comment on an extension for the entire package.
