states, the Pacific Islands, and U.S. 

territories (for a total of 62 awardees) to 

improve surge capacity and enhance 

community and hospital preparedness 

for public health emergencies. These 62 

awardees are responsible for enhancing 

the preparedness of the nation’s nearly 

6000 hospitals. These awards are 

authorized under section 391C–2 of the 

Public Health Service (PHS) Act. 

For this data collection the situation 

will dictate how often the data will be 

collected using the web-based interface 

known as HAvBED. For a large scale 

emergency data will be collected 

nationally from all 62 HPP awardees to 

include all 6000 hospitals in HAvBED 

system. For smaller scale events data 

collection will be targeted to individual 

states or regions. Data may also be 

gathered during exercises. Notifications 

for data collection are sent to the 

affected states through the HPP program 

staff. The data gathered from the 

hospitals are reported to the HHS 

Secretary’s Operations Center to inform 

situational awareness and national 

preparedness.

21296 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 78 / Friday, April 23, 2010 / Notices 

Act of 2003 (MMA) provides a 

requirement to collect and report 

performance data for Part D prescription 

drug plans. Specifically, the MMA 

under section 1860D–4 (Beneficiary 

Protections for Qualified Prescription 

Drug Coverage) requires CMS to conduct 

consumer satisfaction surveys regarding 

PDPs and MA–PDs. CMS seeks through 

the survey to obtain information about 

beneficiaries’ reasons for disenrolling 

from their chosen Part D plan, and their 

expectations relative to provided 

benefits and services. Determining the 

reasons for disenrollment from Part D 

plans will provide important 

information regarding potential 

dissatisfaction with some aspect of the 

plan, such as access, service, cost, 

quality of care, or the benefits provided. 

This information can be used by CMS to 

improve the design and functioning of 

the Part D program. Form Number:

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare &

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), Department of Health 

and Human Services, is publishing the

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New Collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Developing 

Outpatient Therapy Payment 

Alternatives; Use: In Section 545 of the 

Benefits Improvement and Protection 

Act (BIPA) of 2000, the Congress 

required the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services to report on the development of 

standardized assessment instruments for 

outpatient therapy. Currently, CMS does 

not collect these data. The purpose of 

this project is to identify, collect, and 

analyze therapy-related information tied 

to beneficiary need and the effectiveness 

of outpatient therapy services that is 

currently unavailable to CMS. The 

immediate goals are to develop and 

assess the feasibility of a comprehensive 

and uniform therapy-related data 

collection instrument and to determine 

the subset of the measures that CMS can 

routinely and reliably collect in support 

of payment alternatives. The ultimate 

goal is to develop payment method 

alternatives to the current financial cap 

on Medicare outpatient therapy 

services. 

CMS made over 20 changes and 

improvements to the CARE–C and 

CARE–F instruments. Many revisions 

were minor word changes or 

clarifications to item coding 

instructions. The revised version of 

CARE retains its clinical integrity while 

allowing for greater response specificity. 

Form Number: CMS–10298 (OMB#:

Conditions and Women Labor 

(EMTALA), 42 CFR 482.12, 488.18, 

489.20, and 489.24; Use: This collection 

contains the requirements for hospitals 

in effort to prevent them from 

inappropriately transferring individuals 

with emergency medical conditions, as 

mandated by Congress. CMS uses this 

information to help assure compliance 

not contained elsewhere in regulations.
