Change Requests

What is an ICR?

An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection, supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.

The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.

Where to find an ICR?

ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

10 CFR 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material

Key Information

Abstract

FINAL RULE- Alternatives to the Use of Credit Ratings The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations for approved financial assurance mechanisms for decommissioning in 10 CFR Parts 30, 40, 50, 70, specifically for parent-company and self-guarantees that previously required bond ratings issued by credit rating agencies and now is replaced with a demonstration of a creditworthiness criterion. This final rule implements the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 that directed agencies to amend their regulations to remove any reference to or requirement of reliance on credit ratings. This final rule affects applicants and licensees who are required to provide decommissioning financial assurance. The information collections associated with the final rule have been submitted under the following clearance numbers: 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 30, Rules of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material (this is a temporary clearance number, 3150-0017 is currently unavailable for submissions due to the Regulatory Framework for Fusion Machines proposed rule) 3150-0011 - 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities 3150-0009 - 10 CFR Part 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material 3150-0029 - 10 CFR Part 40, Domestic Licensing of Source Material Part 70 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establishes requirements for licensees to own, acquire, receive, possess, use, and transfer special nuclear material. The information in the applications, reports, and records is used by the NRC to make licensing and or regulatory determinations concerning the use of special nuclear material.

Head Start Program Grant Application

Abstract

Sections 641, 641A (codified at 45 CFR 1301 to 1305), 642 to 645A, 648A, 653 to 657A of the Head Start Act (the Act) prescribes requirements eligible entities must meet in order to receive funding under the Act. Applicants are required to demonstrate that they are or will meet Head Start requirements when submitting applications for funding under the Act. To receive Head Start funding, Head Start grant recipients must apply for such funds. The Head Start Grant Application is used by the Office of Head Start to gather the necessary information from eligible entities applying for Head Start funding. This collection targets current Head Start grantees submitting non-competitive applications, including those applying for baseline funding (first year of a new grant period) and continuation funding (subsequent years in a project period). ACF requested changes to reduce the burden of these requirements related to documentation while still meeting the requirements under the Act. See Supporting Statement A for additional information. This request was approved but the final version of the Supporting Statement A was not included with the documents for approval. This nonsubstantive change updates to include the correct version.

Rule 701-Exemption for offers and sales of securities pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation

Key Information

Abstract

Absent an available exemption, the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) requires that a registration statement be filed with the Commission disclosing prescribed categories of information before securities may be offered for sale. Where a registration statement is required, securities may not be sold to the public until the registration statement becomes effective. Congress recognized that in some situations there may not be a need for registration in connection with offers and sales of securities; it provided a number of exemptions from Securities Act registration and provided the Commission with authority to adopt exemptions from Securities Act registration. Rule 701 (17 CFR 230.701) provides an exemption from Securities Act registration for an issuer that is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“non-reporting issuer”) for offers and sales of securities under a written compensatory benefit plan or written compensation contract established by the issuer (or its parents, its majority-owned subsidiaries, or majority-owned subsidiaries of the issuer’s parent) for the participation of their employees, directors, general partners, trustees, officers, or consultants and advisors, and their family members who acquire such securities from such persons through gifts or domestic relations orders. The total sales price or maximum amount of securities that may be sold under Rule 701 during any consecutive 12-month period must not exceed the greatest of: (1) $1 million, (2) 15% of the total assets of the issuer (or its parent company if the issuer is a wholly-owned subsidiary, subject to certain conditions), or (3) 15% of the outstanding amount of the class of securities being offered and sold in reliance on Rule 701. All issuers relying on Rule 701 must deliver to investors a copy of the compensatory benefit plan or contract. In addition, if the total sales price or amount of securities sold during any consecutive 12-month period exceeds $10 million, the issuer must deliver the following additional disclosure to investors a reasonable period before the date of sale (or, for derivative securities, including options, the date of exercise or conversion, or, for deferred compensation or similar plans, the date the irrevocable election to defer is made): (1) a copy of the summary plan description required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or, if the plan is not subject to ERISA, a summary of the material terms of the plan, (2) information about risks associated with investment in the securities, (3) the financial statements required to be furnished by Part F/S of Form 1-A under Regulation A, and (4) parent financial statements (where the issuer uses its parent’s total assets to determine the amount of securities that may be sold). The purpose of Rule 701 is to enable non-reporting issuers to compensate employees and others without registering an offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act, while requiring issuers, as a condition of reliance on the rule, to provide investors with certain information that is important to investment decision making.

Abstract

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) (collectively, the Agencies) in 2015 adopted joint regulations to implement statutory requirements to be applied by States in the registration and supervision of appraisal management companies (AMCs). An AMC is an entity that serves as an intermediary for, and provides certain services to, appraisers and lenders. The regulations also implement the statutory requirement that States report to the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) the information required by the ASC to administer a national registry of AMCs (AMC National Registry or Registry). FHFA, the OCC, the Board, and the FDIC have agreed to share responsibility for the PRA clearance of the collections of the information under the joint regulations. OMB has assigned FHFA’s portion of the information collection OMB Control Number 2590-0013.

Rule 14f-1 - Change in Majority of Directors

Key Information

Abstract

Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) relates to the replacement of a majority of the directors of an issuer in connection with an acquisition subject to Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of such Act. Section 14(f) requires the issuer to provide all holders of record of securities of the issuer who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for election of directors and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission, information concerning the replacement of directors that is substantially equivalent to that information which would be required by Section 14(a) or Section 14(c) if such persons were nominees for election as directors at a meeting of security holders. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 14(f), the Commission adopted Rule 14f-1 (17 CFR 240.14f-1), pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(e) as well as Sections 14(d) and 14(f). The rule requires that, not less than 10 days prior to the time the persons elected or designated as directors of the issuer take office, or such shorter period as the Commission may authorize, the issuer shall file with the Commission and transmit to all holders of record of securities of the issuer, information required by certain items of the Commission’s proxy rules. The rule is needed by the Commission to fulfill its statutory responsibility to prescribe the necessary rules and regulations for the protection of investors by requiring an issuer to apprise its security holders of record and the Commission of a prospective change in the majority of the board of directors of the company where such change is to be effected other than at a meeting of security holders and of information about the issuer’s prospective new directors. The information filed with the Commission assures the public availability and dissemination of such information. Private contractors reproduce much of the filed information and provide it to private parties. Many other persons obtain information directly from the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system, through which filings under the rule are made. This information is needed by security holders, investors, brokers, dealers, investment banking firms, professional securities analysts, and others in evaluating securities and making investment and voting decisions. If the information were not collected, the information the Commission deems necessary for the protection of investors regarding a prospective change in directors would not be available to the investing public prior to the time the change was actually effected.

Abstract

CDC collects information to manage and improve both accredited and non-accredited educational offerings. The purpose of this request is to continue information collection through CDC’s Training and Continuing Education Online (TCEO) and CDC TRAIN systems, while navigating towards a future merger that moves to using only one data collection platform (CDC TRAIN). At this time TCEO is used to generate certificates of attendance and verify training completion, review and approve proposals for educational activities to receive continuing education accreditation, and ensure compliance with mandatory accreditation standards. CDC will use information collected in both systems to evaluate and improve courses based on learner feedback. Data will be gathered by CDC and public health partners. This Revision allows CDC to streamline and consolidate its training evaluation tools which reduces burden.

Abstract

Under the Government Service Delivery Improvement (GSDI) Act and the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act , along with OMB guidance, agencies are obligated to continually improve the services they provide the public and to collect qualitative and quantitative data from the public to do so. The General Services Administration (hereafter “the Agency”) has developed a survey collection tool (https://touchpoints.digital.gov/) that Federal agencies may use to collect this customer feedback. The purpose of this request is to facilitate federal agencies’ ability to collect feedback from the public using this GSA Touchpoints survey tool, or any subsequent GSA survey tool that uses a different name. Collecting feedback from the public will allow agencies to continue to improve federal services, thereby facilitating compliance with statutory requirements and general principles of good governance.

Motor Carrier Records Change Form

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is mandatory reporting for which the frequency is on an as needed basis. The information is collected from for-hire motor carriers, brokers and freight forwarders who are required to notify the Office of Registration and Safety Information located within DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), when they change the name or address of their company. The name change request may be filed online through the Licensing and Insurance website, or companies may fax or mail the form requesting either name or address changes. Carriers may also, by use of this form, request reinstatement of a revoked operating authority either online or via fax. The purpose of the collection is to enable FMCSA to maintain up-to-date records which will allow the agency to recognize the entity in question in case of enforcement actions, or other procedures required to ensure the carrier is fit, willing and able to provide for-hire transportation services. The collection will also enable entities whose authority has been revoked to undergo the process to resume operations, if they are not otherwise blocked from doing so. This multi-purpose form simplifies the process of gathering the information needed to process the entities’ requests in a timely manner, with the least amount of effort for all parties involved. The information reported to and collected by FMCSA is motor carrier identification information (such as legal names, DOT numbers, etc.), phone numbers, address changes, changes in ownership, management, or control of the company, reinstatement of operating authority information, and payment information. This ICR renewal has a program adjustment of an increase of 37,551 responses and 9,387 burden hours. The increase is due to the increase in the number of respondents who completed Form MCSA-5889 from 2020-2022.

Stepped and Tiered Rent Demonstration Evaluation

Key Information

Abstract

Section 239 of the Fiscal Year 2016 Appropriations Act, P.L. 114-113 (2016 MTW Expansion Statute), authorizes HUD to expand the Moving to Work (MTW) demonstration program from the current size of 39 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to an additional 100 agencies over a period of 7 years. The Statute directs HUD to add new MTW PHAs in cohorts, with each cohort testing a specific policy change so that HUD can conduct a rigorous evaluation of that policy’s effects. A copy of the relevant section of law authorizing the Department to undertake “such programs of research, studies, testing, and demonstration relating to the mission and programs of the Department” (12 USC 1701z-1 et seq.) is included as Appendix H. The second cohort of MTW Expansion PHAs will test alternative ways of setting rents in the public housing and housing choice voucher programs. The traditional rent policy (the Brooke rent) typically sets each household’s rent at 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income. This rent policy is administratively complex and burdensome for PHAs and assisted households. The Brooke rent is hypothesized to be a disincentive for households to increase their earnings, as $100 dollars of increased income would result in $30 of increased rent. In this project—the Stepped and Tiered Rent Demonstration (STRD)—PHAs will implement alternative rents that might be easier to administer and might incentivize assisted households to increase their earnings. Five PHAs will implement a stepped rent, under which a household’s rent will increase modestly each year regardless of their income. Five PHAs will implement a tiered rent, under which households are assigned to income-based tiers and rents are set based on the tier. Both policies will enable households to increase their income without causing an immediate rent increase. Both policies include hardship provisions to prevent high rent burdens. And both policies include less frequent income reexaminations, to reduce the amount of PHA staff time required to administer the program. The STRD will be implemented as a randomized controlled trial (RCT); eligible households (limited to non-elderly, non-disabled households) will be randomly assigned to the new rent policy, or to remain on the traditional rent policy. This design is the gold standard for program evaluation and will enable HUD to conclude whether the new rent policies caused any differences observed between the two groups over time. HUD’s evaluation is expected to last 6 years. HUD has contracted with MDRC to carry out the first phase of HUD’s evaluation, to launch the STRD and lay the foundation for a long-term evaluation. HUD has also allocated resources to support software modifications required by the PHAs to implement the STRD Demonstration. This new information collection has the following components in this collection, all of which are necessary for the evaluation to succeed.

Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership (HFPP): Data Sharing and Information Exchange (CMS-10501)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1128C(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a-7c(a)(2)) authorizes the Secretary and the Attorney General to consult with, and arrange for the sharing of data with representatives of health plans to establish a Fraud and Abuse Control Program as specified in Section 1128(C)(a)(1) of the Social Security Act. This is known as the Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership (HFPP). It was officially established by a Charter in fall 2012 and signed by HHS Secretary Sibelius and US Attorney General Holder. The HFPP is a joint initiative established by the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Justice to detect and prevent the prevalence of healthcare fraud through data and information-sharing and applying analytic capabilities by the public and private sectors. The HFPP collaboration provides a unique opportunity to transition from traditional "pay and chase" approaches for fraud detection and recovery towards a data-driven model for identifying and predicting aberrant activity. A central goal of the HFPP is to identify the optimal way to coordinate nationwide sharing of health care claims information, including aggregating claims and payment information from large public healthcare programs and private insurance payers. In addition to sharing data and information, the HFPP is focused on advancing analytics, training, outreach, education to support anti-fraud efforts and achieving its objectives, primarily through goal-oriented, well-designed fraud studies. The HFPP's organizational structure is made up of an Executive Board, the Data Analysis and Review Committee, and the Information Sharing Committee. The HFPP will also include a Trusted Third Party that CMS will engage to provide the technical and operational platform to support the partnerships' data sharing, collaboration and study outreach activities. Enabling data sharing and providing analytical computing capabilities of the TTP is central to the success of the HFPP.

Community Reinvestment Act (2021 Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) requires the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) (collectively, the agencies) to assess the record of banks and savings associations in helping to meet the credit needs of their entire communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations; to take this record into account in evaluating applications for mergers, branches, and certain other corporate activities; and to make certain sections of its written evaluation of a bank’s CRA performance public . Further, the CRA requires the agencies to issue regulations to carry out its purposes. The OCC’s CRA regulation is set forth at 12 CFR part 25. The agencies are proposing to rescind their final rule implementing the CRA issued on October 24, 2023, and published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2024, as subsequently amended (2023 CRA Final Rule). The agencies also are proposing to replace the 2023 CRA Final Rule with regulations adopted by the agencies and the former Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) on May 4, 1995, as amended, and as published in the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations as of March 29, 2024 (1995 CRA regulations), with minor technical amendments to the definition of “small bank” and the OCC’s transition provisions. If adopted, the proposal would restore certainty in the CRA framework for stakeholders and limit regulatory burden on banks, while ensuring that banks continue to focus on the purpose of the CRA.

Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups Reclassification Request (MS-DRGs) (CMS-10775)

Key Information

Abstract

Generally, under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS), Medicare payment to the hospital varies based on hospital-specific and patient-specific characteristics. Each Medicare claim for inpatient services is classified into the applicable Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group (MS-DRG) for payment based on certain patient-specific elements, including the principal diagnosis, additional or secondary diagnoses, and procedures reported on the claim. The MS– DRG classification system currently has 337 base DRGs, most of which are split into 2 or 3 MS– DRGs based on the presence of either a complication or comorbidity (CC) or major complication or comorbidity (MCC), resulting in a total of 767 MS-DRGs for FY 2021. Effective October 1, 2015, providers use the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD–10–CM) diagnosis code set in all healthcare settings and the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD–10– PCS) is the code set used for inpatient hospital procedure coding. These diagnosis and procedure codes are mapped or “grouped” to specific MS-DRGs for payment under the IPPS using the ICD-10 MS-DRG Grouper software. The public may submit requests to create a new MS-DRG(s), modify an existing MS-DRG(s), change the severity level designation for a diagnosis code(s), change the operating room (O.R.) designation of a procedure code(s), reassign diagnosis and/or procedure codes among Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs), modify the Medicare Code Editor (MCE), or modify the surgical hierarchy. We examine these requests using statistical analysis and the judgment of our clinical advisors to evaluate the requested changes and consider any proposed updates to the MS-DRGs. Interested parties can include any information they choose to support a MS-DRG change request.

Required Elements for Submission of the Unified or Combined State Plan and Plan Modifications under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Key Information

Abstract

This consolidated information collection implements sections 102 and 103 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (P.L. 113-128), which requires each State to submit a Unified State Plan or, in the alternative, a Combined State Plan. The Unified or Combined State Plan requirements improve service integration and ensure that the workforce system is industry-relevant by responding to the economic needs of the State and matching employers with skilled workers. To that end, the Unified or Combined State Plan would describe how the State will develop and implement a unified, integrated service delivery system rather than discuss the State's approach to operating each core program individually.

Key Information

Abstract

The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program, Section 340H of the Public Health Service Act, was established by Section 5508 of Public Law 111–148. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2) provided continued funding for the THCGME Program. The THCGME Program awards payment for both direct and indirect expenses to support training for primary care residents in community-based ambulatory patient care settings. The THCGME Program Eligible Resident/Fellow Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) Chart, published in the THCGME Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), is a means for determining the number of eligible resident/fellow FTE’s in an applicant’s primary care residency program. The FTE Chart revisions will now collect the number of resident/fellow FTEs from previous academic years and will further clarify the number of resident/fellow FTEs positions requested with the NOFO application.

Form 1-SA

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), generally requires that a registration statement be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) disclosing prescribed information before securities may be offered for sale to the public. While the Securities Act already authorizes the Commission to exempt certain securities and transactions from registration, Section 401 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act added Section 3(b)(2) to the Securities Act, creating a new exemption from registration. The Commission has adopted various rules (collectively, “Regulation A”) establishing a limited offering exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Regulation A provides an exemption for offerings that satisfy certain conditions, such as filing an offering statement with the Commission, limiting the dollar amount of the offering and, in certain instances, filing ongoing reports with the Commission. Form 1-SA is filed with the Commission under Regulation A. The purpose of Forms 1-SA is to better inform the public about companies that have conducted Tier 2 offerings under Regulation A. Form 1-SA provides semiannual, interim financial statements and information about the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources and operations after the issuer’s second fiscal quarter. The Commission will use very little of the collected information itself, except on an occasional basis in the enforcement of federal securities laws.

Formative Data Collections for DOL Research

Key Information

Abstract

The Chief Evaluation Office of DOL seeks approval of this generic clearance to allow DOL to conduct a variety of formative data collections. Under this generic clearance, DOL would engage in a variety of formative data collections with researchers, practitioners, technical assistance providers, service providers and potential participants throughout the field to fulfill the following goals: (1) inform the development of DOL research, (2) maintain a research agenda that is rigorous and relevant, (3) ensure that research products are as current as possible and (4) inform the provision of technical assistance. DOL envisions using a variety of techniques including semi-structured discussions, focus groups, surveys, and telephone or in-person interviews in order to reach these goals. The findings from this data collection can inform and support future and current research but that are not highly systematic or intended to be statistically representative or otherwise generalizable.

Leasing of Osage Reservation Lands for Oil and Gas Mining (25 CFR 226)

Key Information

Abstract

In 1906, Congress passed “An Act for the division of the lands and funds of the Osage Indians in Oklahoma Territory, and for other purposes,” providing for allotment of the Osage Nation’s lands. See Act of June 28, 1906, Pub. L. No. 59-321, 34 Stat. 539, as amended (1906 Act). Section 3 of the 1906 Act severed the surface estate from the subsurface mineral estate (Osage Mineral Estate) and reserved all oil, gas, coal, and other minerals to the Osage Nation. Thus, the United States holds the Osage Mineral Estate in trust for the benefit of the Osage Nation. The 1906 Act authorizes the Osage Nation to lease the Osage Mineral Estate for oil and gas mining, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior and under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe. The regulations governing such leasing are set forth in 25 CFR 226. The information collections in 25 CFR part 226 specify what information lessees, operators, and others must provide to the BIA regarding leasing, exploration, development, and production. These information collections are necessary for the BIA to administer leasing of the Osage Mineral Estate, collect and account for royalty revenues, and ensure the protection of resource values.

Minimum Data Set 3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed Prospective Payment System (PPS) for the Collection of Data Related to the Patient Driven Payment Model and the Skilled Nursing Facility QRP (CMS-10387)

Key Information

Abstract

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a uniform instrument used in every Medicare/Medicaid certified nursing home in the United States to assess resident condition. It was developed in response to the Landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on Nursing Home Quality in 1987 where the MDS was seen as a critical component in efforts to improve the quality of care in nursing homes. The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA 1987) also set forth new provisions for Medicare and Medicaid related to new standards for care in the nursing home setting. From its inception, the MDS was intended to serve several purposes: (1) Collect data to inform care plans (2) To generate quality indicators to evaluate nursing homes and guide improvement interventions (3) To serve as a data source for nursing home payment systems. Pursuant to sections 4204(b) and 4214(d) of OBRA 1987, the current requirements related to the submission and retention of resident assessment data are not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), but it has been determined that requirements for SNF staff performing, encoding and patient assessment data necessary administer the payment rate methodology described in 413.337, are subject to the PRA. The SNF QRP was established in CMS-1622-F (August 4, 2015; 80 FR 46390) and began collecting data from SNFs in fiscal year (FY) 2016 using the MDS. As described in section 1899B (b)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act (the Act), SNFs are required to submit standardized patient assessment data with respect to the following categories: • Functional Status • Cognitive Function • Special Services, Treatments, and Interventions • Medical Conditions and Comorbidities • Impairments • Other categories deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary Both the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) in the SNF PPS and the SNF QRP collect data through the MDS 3.0. The PDPM was described and adopted for SNFs and Swing Beds in CMS-1696-F (August 8, 2018; 83 FR 39162). This package is a request for a revision to the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment instrument for the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). This package represents a request from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement the MDS 3.0 v1.18.11 beginning October 1, 2023 to October 1, 2026 in order to meet the requirements of policies finalized in the Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) final rule (CMS-1718-F, RIN 0938-AT75). A PRA package was submitted at the time of the finalized policies and approved on 11/22/2019, but the compliance date for the finalized policies (10/01/2020) was delayed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). Please note, however, the burden was never retracted, and the implementation of the instrument was simply delayed. While there has been no change in assessment-level burden since the approval of the MDS 3.0 v1.17.2, there has been a change in total burden since 2019 when the package was originally approved due to a decrease in the number of MDS assessments completed and a change in the hourly rate for clinicians completing the assessment.
