2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: End Stage Renal
Disease Annual Facility Survey Form;
Use: The ESRD Program Management
and Medical Information System
(PMMIS) Facility Certification/Survey
Record contains provider-specific and
aggregate patient population data on
beneficiaries treated by that provider
obtained from the Annual Facility
Survey form (CMS–2744). The Facility
Certification portion of the record
captures certification and other
information about ESRD facilities
approved by Medicare to provide
kidney dialysis and transplant services.
The Facility Survey portion of the
record captures activities performed
during the calendar year as well as
aggregate year-end population counts
for both Medicare beneficiaries and nonMedicare patients. The survey includes
the collection on hemodialysis patients
dialyzing more than 4 times per week,
vocational rehabilitation and staffing.
The aggregate patient information is
collected from each Medicare-approved
provider of dialysis and kidney
transplant services. The information is
used to assess and evaluate the local,
regional and national levels of medical
and social impact of ESRD care and is
used extensively by researchers and
suppliers of services for trend analysis.

3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Virtual Groups
for Merit-Based Incentive Payment
System (MIPS); Use: CMS acknowledges
the unique challenges that small
practices and practices in rural areas
may face with the implementation of the
Quality Payment Program. To help
support these practices and provide
them with additional flexibility, CMS
has created a virtual group reporting
option starting with the 2018 MIPS
performance period. CMS held webinars
and small, interactive feedback sessions
to gain insight from clinicians as we
developed our policies regarding virtual
groups. During these sessions,
participants expressed a strong interest
in virtual groups, and indicated that the
right policies could minimize clinician
burden and bolster clinician success.
This information collection request is
related to the statutorily required virtual
group election process finalized in the
CY 2018 Quality Payment Program final
rule. A virtual group is a combination of
Tax Identification Numbers (TINs),
which would include at least two
separate TINs associated with a solo
practitioner TIN and National Provider
Identifier (TIN/NPI) or group with 10 or
fewer MIPS eligible clinicians and
another solo practitioner (TIN/NPI) or
group with 10 or fewer MIPS eligible
clinicians.
Section 1848(q)(5)(I) of the Act
requires that CMS establish and have in
place a process to allow an individual
MIPS eligible clinician or group
consisting of not more than 10 MIPS
eligible clinicians to elect, with respect
to a performance period for a year to be
in a virtual group with at least one other
such individual MIPS eligible clinician
or group. The Act also provides for the
use of voluntary virtual groups for
certain assessment purposes, including
the election of practices to be a virtual
group and the requirements for the
election process.
Section 1848(q)(5)(I)(i) of the Act also
provides that MIPS eligible clinicians
electing to be a virtual group must: (1)
Have their performance assessed for all
four performance categories in a manner
that applies the combined performance
of all the MIPS eligible clinicians in the
virtual group to each MIPS eligible
clinician in the virtual group for the
applicable performance period; and (2)

be scored for all four performance
categories based on such assessment.
CMS will use the data collected from
virtual group representatives to
determine eligibility to participate in a
virtual group, approve the formation of
that virtual group, based on
determination of each TIN size, and
assign a virtual group identifier to the
virtual group. The data collected will
also be used to assign a performance
score to each TIN/NPI in the virtual
group. Form Number: CMS–10652

Title of the Collection: Federal
Evaluation of Making Proud Choices!
(MPC!).
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No. 0990–0452.
Abstract: The Office of Population
Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting an extension with revision of

a currently approved information
collection (OMB No: 0990–0452). The
purpose of the revision is to complete
the nine-month follow-up data
collection for the Federal Evaluation of
Making Proud Choices! (MPC). The
evaluation is being conducted in 15
schools across four school districts
nationwide and will provide
information about program design,
implementation, and impacts through a
rigorous assessment of a highly popular
teen pregnancy prevention
curriculum—MPC. Clearance is
requested for three years. This revision
is necessary to complete the 9-month
post-baseline follow up data collection
after enrolling a fourth and final cohort
into the study. The follow-up survey

data will be used to determine program
effectiveness by comparing sexual
behavior outcomes, such as postponing
sexual activity, and reducing or
preventing sexual risk behaviors and
STDs and intermediate outcomes, such
as improving exposure, knowledge and
attitudes between treatment (program)
and control youth. The findings from
these analyses of program impacts will
be of interest to the general public, to
policymakers, and to schools and other
organizations interested in supporting a
comprehensive approach to teen
pregnancy prevention. The revision
request also updates the burden by
removing the second (15 months post
baseline) survey from the data
collection.
