school environment; health disparities; 

and use of media. New studies will be 

added in subsequent years to address 

additional key areas with important 

public health impact. 

CDC is requesting OMB approval to 

conduct the Youth and Adult Biometric 

Study (YABS), one of the above 

mentioned special studies, in 10 CTG 

areas that are implementing evidencebased strategies to prevent exposure to 

secondhand smoke and to improve 

nutrition and physical activity among 

children and adults. The YABS will 

examine the impact of CTG strategies on 

biometric markers of health status 

including weight, height (i.e., body mass 

index or BMI), waist circumference, 

secondhand smoke exposure, and blood 

pressure. 

Participants in the YABS will be 

drawn from two samples of households. 

The first sample will be a targeted subsample of ATSS-respondent households 

that have at least one child between the 

ages of 3–17 years. The second sample 

of households will be recruited from an 

address listing that contains households 

with children in school catchment areas 

of high interest for assessing CTG 

interventions targeted to prevent 

childhood obesity. Data collection for 

both samples will be identical, with one 

exception. Adults from the second 

sample will be asked at the beginning of 

the phone call to participate in the 

telephone-based ATSS interview and 

YABS. Adults in the ATSS sub-sample 

will be asked to participate in YABS at 

the completion of the phone call, in 

order to maintain the ATSS interview as 

the priority for this set of respondents. 

Each adult respondent in the YABS 

will be asked to participate in an inhome visit with a trained interviewer, 

who will collect biometric data about 

the respondent such as height, weight, 

saliva, blood pressure, etc. The adult 

respondent will also be asked to provide 

information about his or her activity 

level over a one-week period. Objective 

measures of activity will be collected 

through use of an accelerometer, i.e., an 

electronic meter worn next to the body. 

In addition, the respondent will 

maintain a hardcopy activity diary to 

assist in interpreting the accelerometry 

data. An adult YABS respondent who is 

the parent or guardian of a child in the 

household will be asked to allow one 

child (age 3–17 years) to participate in 

the youth component of the YABS. With 

the child’s assent, similar biometric and 

activity measures will be collected from 

the child. If the child is between 3 and 

8 years of age, the parent or guardian 

will be asked to complete a Caregiver 

Survey about the child’s behaviors. If 

the child is between 9 and 17 years of 

age, he or she will be asked to complete 

a Youth Survey. 

The information to be collected will 

allow CDC to estimate the effect of all 

CTG interventions on health behaviors 

and health outcomes in adults and 

children ages 3–17 years, and to 

estimate the independent effect of 

school-based interventions in youth. 

OMB approval is requested for the first 

three years of the five-year CTG project 

period. Participation is voluntary and 

there are no costs to respondents other 

than their time.

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: Revision of a currently 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 18, 2012 / Notices 23265 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Medicare Part D 

Reporting Requirements and Supporting 

Regulations; Use: Title I of 42 CFR, part 

423, § 423.514, requires each Part D 

Sponsor to have an effective procedure 

to provide statistics indicating: the cost 

of its operations, the patterns of 

utilization of its services, the 

availability, accessibility, and 

acceptability of its services, information 

demonstrating it has a fiscally sound 

operation and other matters as required 

by CMS. In addition, subsection 423.505 

of the Medicare Prescription Drug, 

Improvement, and Modernization Act 

(MMA), establishes as a contract 

provision that Part D Sponsors must 

comply with the reporting requirements 

for submitting drug claims and related 

information to CMS. Data collected via 

Medicare Part D Reporting 

Requirements is an integral resource for 

oversight, monitoring, compliance and 

auditing activities necessary to ensure 

quality provision of the Medicare 

Prescription Drug Benefit to 

beneficiaries. The data collected will be 

validated, analyzed, and utilized for 

trend reporting. 

The revisions for the CY2013 include 

the removal, addition or both of data 

elements for the Prompt Payment by 

Part D Sponsors, Grievances, Fraud, 

Waste, and Abuse Compliance 

Programs, and Plan Oversight of Agents 

reporting sections; however, these 

changes resulted in no changes to the 

burden for these sections. In addition, 

we added data elements and revised 

data elements for the Medication 

Therapy Management Programs and the 

Coverage Determinations and 

Exceptions reporting sections, which 

resulted in an increase in burden hours 

for both sections. Lastly, we removed 

the following reporting sections and 

decreased burden estimates associated 

with these sections because these data 

are no longer necessary for monitoring 

through these reporting requirements: 

Access to Extended Day Supplies at 

Retail Pharmacies; and Pharmacy 

Support of E-prescribing. Form Number: 

CMS–10185 (OCN: 0938–0992); 

Frequency: Yearly, Quarterly, SemiAnnually; Affected Public: Private 

Sector, business or other for-profit; 

Number of Respondents: 3,180; Total 

Annual Responses: 48,152; Total 

Annual Hours: 76,240. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact LaToyia Grant at 410–786–5434. 

For all other issues call 410–786–1326.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB Control Number). Title of 

Information Collection: Surveys of 

Physicians and Home Health Agencies 

to Assess Access Issues for Specific 

Medicare Beneficiaries as Defined in 

Section 3131(d) of the ACA. Use: This 

collection is part of a study called for 

under section 3131(d) of the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act 

(ACA). The study is focused on two 

major issues: (1) Supporting CMS’ 

efforts to improve payment accuracy 

and (2) understanding issues of access 

for the ACA populations under the 

existing home health prospective 

payment system. The study team’s 

analytic plan focuses on understanding 

payment accuracy for the specific study 

populations through claims and cost 

data analyses, which will reflect 

payments and costs for patients who 

have gained access to home health care. 

In order to understand access issues for 

the ACA defined populations, the study 

team proposes using survey instruments 

to better understand the characteristics 

of Medicare beneficiaries who are not 

able to gain access to or have 

experienced delays in gaining access to 

home health services. 

As a new collection, the information 

collected is expected to support CMS’ 

efforts to improve the home health 

prospective payment system payment 

accuracy for vulnerable populations and 

thereby ensure the payment system does 

not inadvertently cause avoidable access 

problems. The questions are designed to 

provide insights into access issues for 

vulnerable populations that cannot be 

learned through analyses of 

administrative data. Form Number: 

CMS–10429 (OCN: 0938–New); 

Frequency: Once. Affected Public: 

Private Sector (business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions). 

Number of Respondents: 875. Total 

Annual Responses: 292. Total Annual 

Hours: 73. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Kristy 

Chu at 410–786–8953. For all other 

issues call 410–786–1326.)
