Consistent with
the expiration dates of the National Provider System (OMB #
0938-0684) and the Medicare Carrier Provider/ Supplier Enrollment
Application (OMB # 0938-0685), the HCFA-1513 is approved for use
through 4/97 under the condition that the next submission for OMB
review includes: 1) a side-by-side analysis of the information
collected on this form and the content of the Provider/Supplier
Enrollment Application, NPS requirements, and the
survey/certification OSCAR system; and 2) the schedule for
completely phasing out this form, with an update on the development
and implementation of new provider enrollment/ application forms.
In addition, HCFA must immediately incorporate into the
form/instructions the disclosure statements required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and its implementing regulations.
HCFA must provide OMB a copy of the revised form/instructions for
the public record. Finally, OMB notes that this clearance action
does not apply to the regula- tions that serve as a basis for the
HCFA-1513. HCFA did not explicitly request approval for these
regulatory requirements.
