Office of the National Coordinator for 

Health Information Technology; Notice 

of Public Meeting 

ACTION: Notice of intent to hold a public 

meeting to share information on 

establishing an American Health 

Information Community Successor. 

SUMMARY: On September 5, 2007, the 

Office of the National Coordinator for 

Health Information Technology will 

lead a technical assistance public 

meeting to share information and 

answer detailed questions about plans 

to design and establish a successor to 

the American Health Information 

community, including information on 

the Notice of Funding Availability. 

The AHIC is a federally chartered 

advisory committee that provides input 

and recommendations to the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) on how to make health 

records digital and interoperable, and 

how to assure that the privacy and 

security of those records are protected. 

(Please visit http://www.hhs.gov/ 

healthit/community/background/ for 

more information on the AHIC.) The 

AHIC charter specifies that the AHIC 

will develop and advance 

recommendations to the Secretary on a 

private-sector health information 

community initiative that will succeed 

the AHIC. The AHIC successor will 

bring together public and private, notfor-profit and for-profit entities that 

represent all sectors of the health 

community. This new public-private 

partnership will develop a unified 

approach to realize an effective, secure, 

interoperable nationwide health 

information system that improves the 

quality, safety, and efficiency of health 

care in the U.S. For the purposes of 

facilitating the establishment of the 

AHIC successor and convening a 

planning board, HHS will award a 

Cooperative Agreement that allows for 

substantial involvement by the Federal 

government. Once a new legal entity is 

established and after certain conditions 

are met, HHS will support that entity 

through additional funding that will 

enable initial operations and transition 

of specific AHIC responsibilities by late 

Fall 2008. 

DATES: September 5, 2007, from 9:30 

a.m. to 12 p.m. (EDT); registration opens 

at 9 a.m. 

ADDRESSES: Hubert H. Humphrey 

building (200 Independence Avenue, 

SW., Washington, DC 20201), 

Conference Room 705A. 

A link to the Web cast of the public 

meeting will be available on the AHIC 

transition Web site at: http:// 

www.hhs.gov/healthit/community/ 

background/AHICsuccessor.html. 

Instructions will be available on the 

day of the meeting about how to submit 

questions or comments via phone or email.

[Document Identifier: CMS–10241, CMS–

382, CMS–10247, and CMS–10246] 

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: 

Annual State Report and Annual State 

Performance Rankings. 

Use: The Deficit Reduction Act of 

2005 (DRA) requires CMS to contract 

with a vendor to conduct a monthly 

national survey of retail prescription 

drug prices and to report the prices to 

the States. These national average prices 

will be used as a benchmark by the 

States for the management of their 

prescription drug programs. The law 

also requires that States report their 

drug utilization rates for noninnovator 

multiple source drugs, their payment 

rates under their State plan, and their 

dispensing fees. A template will be used 

to facilitate data collection. The States’

rankings are to be presented to the 

Congress and the States. 

Form Number: CMS–10241 (OMB#: 

0938–NEW). 

Frequency: Reporting—Yearly. 

Affected Public: States, Local or Tribal 

Governments. 

Number of Respondents: 51. 

Total Annual Responses: 51. 

Total Annual Hours: 765. 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension without change of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title of Information Collection: ESRD 

Beneficiary Selection and Supporting 

Regulations Contained in 42 CFR 

414.330. 

Use: Section 2145 amended section 

1881 of the Social Security Act and 

changes the way the Medicare program 

pays for home dialysis services. 

Medicare patients who currently receive 

dialysis in a facility but later become 

home dialysis patients must complete 

the CMS–382 form at the time they go 

to the home setting. Facilities are 

required to have all Medicare home 

dialysis patients choose one of two 

payment methods. Under Method I, the 

dialysis facility assumes responsibility 

for patient care and the facility provides 

all dialysis equipment and supplies 

needed to dialyze at home. The facility 

is required to order, store, deliver, and 

pay the manufacturers and suppliers for 

these items. Under Method II, the 

beneficiary makes his/her own 

arrangement for securing the necessary 

supplies and dialysis equipment. Then, 

the supplier bills the Medicare program 

(Carrier) for payment. 

Form Number: CMS–382 (OMB#: 

0938–0372). 

Frequency: Reporting—Yearly. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Number of Respondents: 7400. 

Total Annual Responses: 7400. 

Total Annual Hours: 617. 

3. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection. 

Title of Information Collection: 

Sponsor application for CMS coverage 

under the Medicare Clinical Trial 

Research Policy. 

Use: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) has supported 

the participation of beneficiaries in 

clinical research through its Clinical 

Trial Policy implemented through the 

National coverage determination (NCD) 

process since 2000. Support for 

participation in clinical research studies 

is provided through the coverage of 

items and services that are considered 

usual patient care. Usual patient care 

encompasses all items and services 

covered by the program for any 

beneficiary, i.e., reasonable and 

necessary for the diagnosis or treatment 

of illness or injury to improve the 

functioning of a malformed body 

member. 

In accordance with the Clinical Trial 

Policy/Clinical Research Policy (CTP/ 

CRP), CMS requires study sponsors/ 

principal investigators to meet a set of 

standards to (1) Ensure that all sponsors 

and investigators conduct clinical 

research so that Medicare covered items 

and services are reasonable and 

necessary to obtain valid research 

outcomes and for treating research 

participants, and (2) maximize the 

health outcomes (and minimize risk) for 

Medicare beneficiaries. 

One of the standards states, ‘‘The 

clinical research study is registered on 

the ClinicalTrials.gov Web site by the 

study sponsor/principal investigator 

prior to the enrollment of the first study 

subject.’’ In practice, we anticipate that 

study sponsors/principal investigators 

wishing to have their research study 

listed as certified on our Web site, and 

in the Federal Register will register the 

study on ClinicalTrials.gov and 

complete a form to CMS describing the 

scope and nature of the clinical 

research, discussing each of the 

standards in this policy, and certifying 

that all standards in this policy have 

been met. CMS will only review this 

form for completeness. We are seeking 

OMB approval for the form. 

Form Number: CMS–10247 (OMB#: 

0938–New). 

Frequency: Reporting—one-time. 

Affected Public: Private Sector—

Business or other for-profits and not-forprofit institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 4,524. 

Total Annual Responses: 4,524. 

Total Annual Hours: 4,524. 

4. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection. 

Title of Information Collection: Cost 

and Resource Utilization (CRU) Data 

Collection for the Medicare Post Acute 

Care Payment Reform Demonstration. 

Use: The CRU data collection is part 

of the Post-Acute Care Payment Reform 

Demonstration mandated by Section 

5008 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 

2005. This demonstration is intended to 

address problems with the current 

Medicare payment systems for postacute care services, including those for 

Long Term Care Hospitals, Inpatient 

Rehabilitation Facilities, Skilled 

Nursing Facilities, and Home Health 

Agencies. Each of these four types of 

providers currently has a separate 

prospective payment system (PPS) with 

its own case-mix groups, payment units, 

and rates. Each case-mix grouper uses a 

unique set of items to measure patients,
