DELTA FOCUS awardees will use the 

information collection to manage and 

coordinate their activities and to 

improve their efforts to prevent IPV. 

The PMIS will collect a limited 

amount of information in identifiable 

form (IIF) for key program staff (e.g., 

Executive Director). Only names and 

professional contact information will be 

collected, limiting the potential negative 

impact this data collection might have 

on the privacy of respondents. No 

personal contact information will be 

collected. All respondents will be state 

and territorial domestic violence 

coalitions. The time commitments for 

data entry and training are greatest 

during the initial population of the 

PMIS, typically in the first six months 

of funding. Estimated burden for the 

first-time population of the PMIS is 

fifteen hours. Semi-Annual Reporting is 

estimated at three hours per respondent. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

I. Background 

Among other things, the Centers for 

Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is 

responsible for administering the 

Medicare and Medicaid programs and 

coordination and oversight of private 

health insurance. Administration and 

oversight of these programs involves the 

following: (1) Furnishing information to 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
49800 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 160 / Friday, August 17, 2012 / Notices 

Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, 

health care providers, and the public; 

and (2) maintaining effective 

communications with CMS regional 

offices, State governments, State 

Medicaid agencies, State survey 

agencies, various providers of health 

care, all Medicare contractors that 

process claims and pay bills, National 

Association of Insurance Commissioners 

(NAIC), health insurers, and other 

stakeholders. To implement the various 

statutes on which the programs are 

based, we issue regulations under the 

authority granted to the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services under sections 1102, 1871, 

1902, and related provisions of the 

Social Security Act (the Act) and Public 

Health Service Act. We also issue 

various manuals, memoranda, and 

statements necessary to administer and 

oversee the programs efficiently. 

Section 1871(c) of the Act requires 

that we publish a list of all Medicare 

manual instructions, interpretive rules, 

statements of policy, and guidelines of 

general applicability not issued as 

regulations at least every 3 months in 

the Federal Register. 

II. Revised Format for the Quarterly 

Issuance Notices 

While we are publishing the quarterly 

notice required by section 1871(c) of the 

Act, we will no longer republish 

duplicative information that is available 

to the public elsewhere. We believe this 

approach is in alignment with CMS’ 

commitment to the general principles of 

the President’s Executive Order 13563 

released January 2011entitled 

‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory 

Review,’’ which promotes modifying 

and streamlining an agency’s regulatory 

program to be more effective in 

achieving regulatory objectives. Section 

6 of Executive Order 13563 requires 

agencies to identify regulations that may 

be ‘‘outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, 

or excessively burdensome, and to 

modify, streamline, expand or repeal 

them in accordance with what has been 

learned.’’ This approach is also in 

alignment with the President’s Open 

Government and Transparency Initiative 

that establishes a system of 

transparency, public participation, and 

collaboration. 

Therefore, this quarterly notice 

provides only the specific updates that 

have occurred in the 3-month period 

along with a hyperlink to the full listing 

that is available on the CMS Web site or 

the appropriate data registries that are 

used as our resources. This information 

is the most current up-to-date 

information and will be available earlier 

than we publish our quarterly notice. 

We believe the Web site list provides 

more timely access for beneficiaries, 

providers, and suppliers. We also 

believe the Web site offers a more 

convenient tool for the public to find 

the full list of qualified providers for 

these specific services and offers more 

flexibility and ‘‘real time’’ accessibility. 

In addition, many of the Web sites have 

listservs; that is, the public can 

subscribe and receive immediate 

notification of any updates to the Web 

site. These listservs avoid the need to 

check the Web site, as notification of 

updates is automatic and sent to the 

subscriber as they occur. If assessing a 

Web site proves to be difficult, the 

contact person listed can provide 

information. 

III. How To Use the Notice 

This notice is organized into 15 

addenda so that a reader may access the 

subjects published during the quarter 

covered by the notice to determine 

whether any are of particular interest. 

We expect this notice to be used in 

concert with previously published 

notices. Those unfamiliar with a 

description of our Medicare manuals 

should view the manuals at http:// 

www.cms.gov/manuals.

and implement safeguards to restrict

Title: DHHS/ACF/OPRE Head Start 

Classroom-based Approaches and 

Resources for Emotion and Social skill 

promotion (CARES) project: Tracking 

Participants. 

OMB No.: 0970–0364. 

Description: The Head Start 

Classroom-based Approaches and 

Resources for Emotion and Social skill 

promotion (CARES) project is an 

evaluation of three social emotional 

program enhancements within Head 

Start settings serving three- and fouryear-old children. This project focuses 

on identifying the central features of 

effective programs to provide the 

information federal policy makers and 

Head Start providers will need if they 

are to increase Head Start’s capacity to 

improve the social and emotional skills 

and school readiness of preschool age 

children. The Head Start CARES project 

completed data collection for cohort (1) 

4-year-olds and cohort (2) 3-year-olds in 

spring of 2011 and cohort (2) 4-year-olds 

in the spring of 2012. 

ACF is proposing to collect 

information necessary to identify 

CARES study respondents’ current 

location and follow-up with 

respondents until the children reach 

third grade. In support of an 

examination of third grade outcomes, 

information must be collected from 

parents or guardians until the third 

grade year. Therefore, in the spring of 

2013 tracking of all children will be 

necessary, in the spring of 2014 for the 

three- and four-year-old children in 

cohort 2 only, and in the spring of 2015 

the three-year-olds in cohort 2 only. To 

enable the opportunity to conduct data 

collection in 3rd grade, complete 

tracking information on the full sample, 

both ages and cohorts, for all years until 

third grade is necessary. In addition to 

location and contact information, a 

small set of additional items will 

provide information on the parents’ 

perception of the children’s well-being. 

Respondents: The respondents to the 

tracking phone calls will be low-income 

parents and their Head Start children. 

This is a three-year information 

collection request.
