DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)
443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank for
Final Adverse Information on Health Care Providers, Suppliers and
Practitioners (45 CFR 61)--OMB No. 0915-0239--Revision
This is a request for revision and extension of OMB approval of the
information collections contained in regulations found in 45 CFR Part
61 governing the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB)
and the forms to be used in reporting information to and requesting
information from the HIPDB cleared under OMB No. 0915-0239. An
additional form entitled, ``Instructions for Registering as an NPDB-
HIPDB Self-Querier,'' has been included to meet identity proofing and
e-authentication requirements stipulated in the E-Authentication
Guidance for Federal Agencies (OMB M-04-04) and National Institutes of
Standards and Technology's (NIST) Draft Special Publication 800-63-1,
Electronic Authentication Guidelines. The burden estimate for self-
queriers has been adjusted from the original OMB approval to reflect
this new registration process. The HIPDB is authorized by section 1128E
of the Social Security Act (hereinafter referred to as section 1128E),
as added by section 221(a) of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996. Section 1128E directs the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (the Secretary) to establish a national
health care fraud and abuse data collection program for the reporting
and disclosing of certain final adverse actions (excluding settlements
in which no findings of liability have been made) taken against health
care providers, suppliers, or practitioners. It also directs the
Secretary to maintain a database of final adverse actions taken against
health care providers, suppliers, or practitioners. The regulations
implementing section 1128E governing the operation of the HIPDB are
codified at 45 CFR Part 61. The HIPDB became operational November 22,
1999.
Approval is requested to continue the following reporting data
collection and disclosure requirements and the ensuing HIPDB forms
along with the instructions. The recordkeeping, reporting, and
disclosure requirements are specified in the regulations to implement
the HIPDB. Numbers in the table may not add up exactly due to rounding.
Please note the burden for Administrative Forms has been accounted for
in the NPDB OMB clearance renewal submission.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
