# 43475 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 143 / Friday, July 25, 2014 / Notices

the following proposed collection(s) of

information for public comment:

1. Type of Information Collection

Request: New collection (Request for a

new OMB control number); Title of

Information Collection: Improving

Quality of Care in Medicaid and CHIP

through Increased Access to Preventive

Services State Survey; Use: The survey

will be used to gain a better

understanding of state efforts to increase

the utilization of preventive services

and to develop resources (including

educational and outreach resources) to

help states increase the utilization of

these services. The results will provide

a baseline regarding the coverage of

preventive services and will help us

identify ways to assist states with

materials focusing on prevention and

technical assistance. The survey has

been revised subsequent to the

publication of the 60-day Federal

Register notice (79 FR 20211).

Form Number: CMS–10521 (OMB

control number: 0938—New);

Frequency: Once; Affected Public: State,

Local, or Tribal Governments; Number

of Respondents: 51; Total Annual

Responses: 51; Total Annual Hours:

Agreement to Support Navigators in

Federally-facilitated and State

Partnership Exchanges; Use: Section

1311(i) of the Affordable Care Act

establish a Navigator grant program as part of its function to provide

consumers with assistance when they

need it. Navigators will assist

consumers by providing education

about and facilitating selection of

qualified health plans (QHPs) within

Marketplaces, as well as other required

duties. Section 1311(i) requires that a

Marketplace operating as of January 1,

2014, must establish a Navigator

Program under which it awards grants

to eligible individuals or entities who

satisfy the requirements to be Exchange

Navigators. For Federally-facilitated

Marketplaces (FFMs) and State

Partnership Marketplaces (SPMs), we

will be awarding these grants. Navigator

awardees must provide weekly,

monthly, quarterly, and annual progress

reports to us on the activities performed

during the grant period and any subawardees receiving funds. We have

modified the data collection

# I. Background

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 Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries,

health care providers, and the public;

and (2) maintaining effective

communications with CMS regional

offices, state governments, state


# 43476 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 143 / Friday, July 25, 2014 / Notices

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. Format for the Quarterly Issuance

Notices

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
