### 32118 Federal Register/ Vol. 77, No. 105 / Thursday, May 31, 2012 / Notices

In December 2000, the President delegated responsibility for funding, staffing, and operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which subsequently delegated this authority to the CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility for CDC. The charter was issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and will expire on August 3,

2013.

Purpose: This Advisory Board is charged with (a) providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the development of guidelines under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the scientific validity and quality of dose reconstruction efforts performed for this program; and (c) upon request by the Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on whether there is a class of employees at any Department of Energy facility who were exposed to radiation but for whom it is not feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and on whether there is reasonable likelihood that such radiation doses may have endangered the health of members of this class.

Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for the Advisory Board meeting includes: NIOSH Program Update; Department of Labor Program Update; Department of Energy Program Update; NIOSH 10-Year Program Review Implementation; SEC petitions for: Winchester Engineering and Analytical Center (Winchester, MA), Weldon Spring Plant (Weldon Spring, MO), Hanford (1972–1983), Los Alamos National Laboratory, General Steel Industries (Granite City, IL), Clarksville Facility (Clarksville, TN), Mound Plant, Titanium Alloys Manufacturing (Niagara Falls, NY), and Medina Facility (San Antonio, TX); Non-qualifying SEC Petitions and SEC Petitions Status Update; Linde Ceramics Work Group Site Profile Review; and Board Work
Sessions.

The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate.

In the event an individual cannot attend, written comments may be submitted in accordance with the redaction policy provided below. Any written comments received will be provided at the meeting and should be submitted to the contact person below well in advance of the meeting.

Policy on Redaction of Board Meeting Transcripts (Public Comment): (1) If a person making a comment gives his or her name, no attempt will be made to redact that name. (2) NIOSH will take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals making public comment are aware of the fact that their comments (including their name, if provided) will appear in a transcript of the meeting posted on a public Web site. Such reasonable steps include: (a) A statement read at the start of each public comment period stating that transcripts will be posted and names of speakers will not be redacted; (b) A printed copy of the statement mentioned in (a) above will be displayed on the table where individuals sign up to make public comments; (c) A statement such as outlined in (a) above will also appear with the agenda for a Board Meeting when it is posted on the NIOSH Web site; (d) A statement such as in (a) above will appear in the Federal Register
Notice that announces Board and Subcommittee meetings. (3) If an individual in making a statement reveals personal information (e.g., medical information) about themselves that information will not usually be
redacted. The NIOSH FOIA coordinator will, however, review such revelations
in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act and the Federal Advisory Committee Act and if deemed appropriate, will redact such information. (4) All disclosures of information concerning third parties will be redacted. (5) If it comes to the
attention of the DFO that an individual
wishes to share information with the Board but objects to doing so in a public forum, the DFO will work with that individual, in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, to find a way that the Board can hear such

comments.

**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: New collection; Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of the Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care Practice Demonstration; Use: On September 16, 2009, the Department of Health and Human Services announced the establishment of the Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care Practice (MAPCP) Demonstration, under which Medicare joined Medicaid and privateinsurers as a payer participant in statesponsored initiatives to promote the principles that characterize advanced primary care, often referred to as the ‘‘patient-centered medical home’’ (PCMH). CMS selected eight states to participate in this demonstration: Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, and Minnesota. These states vary on a number of important dimensions, such as features of their public (Medicaid) and private insurance markets, delivery system, prior experience with medical homeinitiatives, and nature of their statesponsored multi-payer initiative.

CMS is conducting an evaluation of the demonstration to assess the effects of advanced primary care practice when supported by Medicare, Medicaid, and


### 32119 Federal Register/ Vol. 77, No. 105 / Thursday, May 31, 2012 / Notices

private health plans. As part of this evaluation, qualitative and quantitative data will be collected and analyzed to answer research questions focused on: (1) State initiative features and implementation, including various payment models; (2) practice characteristics, particularly medical home transformation; and (3) outcomes, including access to and coordination of care, clinical quality of care and patient safety, beneficiary experience with care, patterns of utilization, Medicare and Medicaid expenditures, and budget neutrality. This information will help CMS decide whether the MAPCP Demonstration model should be expanded under Medicare, and if so, what modifications and supports would be needed to implement similar innovations in other states and practices in the future. Form Number: CMS– 10436 (OCN: 0938–New); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Individuals and households; Number of Respondents:
472 ; Total Annual Responses: 472; Total Annual Hours: 478 (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Suzanne Goodwin at 410–786– 0226. For all other issues call 410–786– 1326.)

2. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Enrollment Application for Clinics/ Group Practice and Certain Other Suppliers; Use: The primary function of the CMS–855B enrollment application for Clinics, Group Practices and Certain Other Suppliers is to gather information from the organization that tells us what it is, whether it meets certain qualifications to be a health care supplier, where it renders services and information necessary to establish the correct claims payment. The goal of evaluating and revising the CMS–855B enrollment application is to simplify and clarify the information collection without jeopardizing our need to collect specific information. The majority of the revisions are very minor in nature such as spelling and formatting corrections, removal of duplicate fields and instruction clarification for the organization/group. The Sections and Sub-Sections within the form are also being re-numbered and re-sequenced to create a more logical flow of the data collection. In addition, CMS is adding a data collection for an address to mail the periodic request for the revalidation of enrollment information (only if it differs from other addresses currently collected). Other than the revalidation mailing address described above, new data being collected in this revision package is a checkbox indicating whether or not an organization is wholly owned or operated by a hospital, the inclusion of a new supplier type (Centralized Flu Biller) and information on, if applicable, where the supplier stores its patient records electronically.
Form Number: CMS–855B (OCN: 0938– New); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Individuals and households; Number of Respondents: 31,000; Total Annual Responses: 31,000; Total
Annual Hours: 103,000 (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Kim McPhillips at 410–786–
5374. For all other issues call 410–786– 1326.)
