**Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;**  **Comment Request**

**AGENCY :**  Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS.

In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan Program Solicitation and Contractor’s Proposal Package; Use: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting a renewal of this package by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB); specifically, HHS is now seeking a three-year approval for this collection. On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act), Public Law 111– 148. Section 1101 of the law establishes

a ‘‘temporary high risk health insurance pool program’’ (which has been named the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, or PCIP) to provide health insurance coverage to currently uninsured individuals with pre-existing conditions. The law authorizes HHS to carry out the program directly or through contracts with States or private, non-profit entities.

This package renewal is requested as a result of a possible transition in administration of the program from a Federally-run to a State administered program. A State who originally decided to have HHS administer the program in their State may in the future notify HHSof their desire to administer the PreExisting Condition Plan (PCIP) program. PCIP is also referred to as the temporary qualified high risk insurance pool program, as it is called in the Affordable Care Act, but we have adopted the term PCIP to better describe the program and avoid confusion with the existing State high risk pool programs. Form Number: CMS–10319 (OMB#: 0938–1085); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: State governments; Number of Respondents: 2; Total Annual Responses: 2; Total Annual Hours: 2,992. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Laura Dash at 301–492–4296. For all other issues call 410–786–1326.)

**National Institutes of Health**

**Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Cancer Trials**  **Support Unit (CTSU) Public Use Forms and Customer Satisfaction Surveys**  **(NCI)**

**SUMMARY :**  Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on July 13, 2010 (75 FR 39950) and allowed 60-days for public comment. There have been no public comments. Additionally, the 30-day Federal Register was published on September 13, 2010. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment to the revisions. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Proposed Collection: Title: Cancer Trial Support Unit (CTSU). Type of Information Collection Request: Existing Collection in Use Without an OMB Number. Need and Use of Information Collection: CTSU collects annual surveys of customer satisfaction for clinical site staff using the CTSU Help Desk and the CTSU Web site. An ongoing user satisfaction survey is in place for the Oncology Patient Enrollment Network (OPEN). User satisfaction surveys are compiled as part of the project quality assurance activities and used to direct improvements to processes and technology. In addition, the CTSU collects standardized forms to process site regulatory information, changes to membership, patient enrollment data, and routing information for case report forms. This questionnaire adheres to The Public Health Service Act, Section 413 (42 U.S.C. 285a–2) authorizes CTEP to establish and support programs to facilitate the participation of qualified investigators on CTEP-supported studies, and to institute programs that minimize redundancy among grant and contract holders, thereby reducing overall cost of maintaining a robust treatment trials program. Based on a conversation with the Office of Management and Budget on October 17, 2010, the burden table has been revised to take into account future submissions of a generic data transmittal forms ( see Attachment 1gg in the Table below). It was agreed that the generic forms will be finalized and submitted in the future as non-substantive change requests for OMB clearance as needed. Frequency of Response: The help desk and Web site survey are collected annually. The OPEN survey is ongoing. The form submissions vary depending on the purpose of the form and the activity of the local site. Affected Public: CTSU’s target audience is staff members at clinical sites and CTEP-supported programs. Respondent and burden estimates are listed in the Table below. The annualized burden is estimated to be 34,802 hours and the annualized cost to respondents is estimated to be $946, 601. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.
