Since the PQRI reporting requirements tend to change annually with each annual physician fee rule, this ICR is approved until January 2010. Because this ICR is associated with rulemaking, CMS agrees to coordinate the publication of the 60 & 30 day Federal Register Notices with the issuance of the proposed and final physician fee rule. In order to comment meaningfully on the burden and utility of these reporting requirements, the public needs access to all technical specifications on how each performance measure will be calculated (e.g. the denominators and numerators). Therefore, all such technical specifications need to be submitted with the ICR in order for the ICR package to be considered complete. These technical specifications must also match up with the year in question (i.e. the 2008 specifications should not be submitted for the 2009 measures). Incomplete submissions will be returned to the agency as "improper submissions." Finally, CMS agrees to include this ICR in the next ICB as a "bootleg" collection.
