                AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS.
                ACTION: Notice.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is
                announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention
                to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction
                Act of 1995 (PRA), federal agencies are required to publish notice in
                the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of
                information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an
                existing collection of information, and to allow a second opportunity
                for public comment on the notice. Interested persons are invited to
                send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this
                collection of information, including the necessity and utility of the
                proposed information collection for the proper performance of the
                agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to
                enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
                collected, and the use of automated collection techniques or other
                forms of information technology to minimize the information collection
                burden.
                DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by
                the OMB desk officer by August 31, 2020.
                ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
                information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
                this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
                information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

                (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:
