Review; 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), Department of Health 

and Human Services, 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 function; 

(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 (request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Dental Action 

Plan Template for Medicaid and CHIP 

Programs; Use: CMS is responsible for 

administering the Federal Medicaid 

program and the Children’s Health 

Insurance Program (CHIP). As part of 

the Federal Medicaid program, CMS 

oversees the Early and Periodic 

Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment 

(EPSDT) benefit to assure that all 

requirements are met. The provision of 

dental services to EPSDT-eligible 

individuals is required under section 

1905(r)(3) of the Social Security Act. In 

addition, section 1902(a)(43)(D)(iii) 

requires that CMS collect information 

on dental services furnished to eligible 

individuals. Section 501(e) of CHIPRA 

imposed new data reporting 

requirements for the CHIP program by 

requiring certain dental data to be 

reported in 2011 on the CHIP annual 

report. Dental data for CHIP is 

unavailable as the requirement to report 

this data is new for CHIP programs. 

CMS intends to use the information 

provided in the template to help inform 

us of the States’ activities undertaken to 

achieve the national oral health goals for 

Medicaid and CHIP. CMS will use the 

information to routinely follow-up with 

States on the achievement of their goals 

and activities and will share that 

information with other States. The 

template has been revised since the 

publication of the 60-day notice by 

clarifying instructions and by making 

minor changes. The supporting 

documents have not been changed;

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension without change of a 

currently approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Certification as 

a Supplier of Portable X-Ray and 

Portable X-Ray Survey Report Form and 

Supporting Regulations at 42 CFR Part 

486.100–486.110; Use: CMS–1880 is 

utilized as an application to be 

completed by suppliers of portable Xray services requesting participation in 

the Medicare program. This form 

initiates the process of obtaining a 

decision as to whether the conditions of 

coverage are met as a portable X-ray 

supplier. It also promotes data reduction 

or introduction to, and retrieval from, 

the Certification and Survey Provider 

Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) by the 

CMS Regional Offices (ROs). 

CMS–1882 is used by the State survey 

agency to provide data collected during 

an on-site survey of a supplier of 

portable X-ray services to determine 

compliance with the applicable 

conditions of participation and to report 

this information to the Federal 

Government. The form is primarily a 

coding worksheet designed to facilitate 

data reduction and retrieval into the 

ASPEN system at the CMS ROs. The 

form includes basic information on 

compliance (i.e., met, not met, 

explanatory statements) and does not 

require any descriptive information 

regarding the survey activity itself. CMS 

has the responsibility and authority for 

certification decisions which are based 

on supplier compliance with the 

applicable conditions of participation. 

The information needed to make these 

decisions is available to CMS only 

through the use of information 

abstracted from the survey report form; 

Form Numbers: CMS–1880 (Request for 

Certification as a Supplier of Portable Xray Services), CMS–1882 (Medicare/

Indian Health Service 

Notice of a Project Waiver of Section 

1605 (Buy American Requirement) of 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) 

AGENCY: Indian Health Service (IHS), 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The IHS is hereby granting 

waivers of the Buy American 

requirements of ARRA Section 1605 

under the authority of Section 

1605(b)(1) [applying the Buy American 

provision would be inconsistent with 

the public interest] to the Alaska Native 

Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) for 

the specific Alaska projects listed in this 

notice for the purchase of a foreign 

manufactured equipment to be installed 

on those sanitation facilities 

construction projects. This is a project 

specific waiver and only applies to the 

use of the specified product for the 

ARRA projects listed in this notice. Any 

other ARRA recipient that wishes to use 

the same product must apply for a 

separate waiver based on project 

specific circumstances. Based upon 

information submitted by the ANTHC 

professional engineering staff, it has 

been determined that applying the Buy 

American provision would be 

inconsistent with the public interest. 

The IHS is making this determination 

based on the review and 

recommendation of the IHS Alaska Area 

Office. This action permits the purchase 

of a foreign manufactured item for the 

projects specified in this notice. 

Waivers are granted for the ARRA 

funded ANTHC projects in these Alaska 

communities: City of Angoon for water 

treatment plant media filters, City of 

Buckland for Flygt submersible 

wastewater pumps and appurtenances, 

City of Chignik for water treatment plant 

measuring equipment, City of 

Chuathbaluk for Grundfos pumps for its 

water and sewer systems, City of 

Deering for Grundfos pumps for its 

infiltration gallery and filtration plant, 

and City of Hooper Bay for Toyotomi 

Fuel Lift pumps for its existing 

Toyotomi fuel oil fired hotwater heaters. 

DATES: Effective Date: Upon publication. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with ARRA Section 1605(c) 

and Section 176.80 of the rules of the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) (2 CFR 176.80), the IHS hereby 

provides notice that it is granting a 

limited waiver of the requirements of 

section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5, 

Buy American requirements, based on 

the public interest authority of section 

1605(b)(1), to allow the use of nondomestic iron, steel, and manufactured 

goods in eligible sanitation facilities 

construction projects. 

ARRA 1605(a) prohibits the use of 

Recovery Act funds for the construction, 

alteration, maintenance, or repair of a 

public building or public work unless 

all of the iron, steel, and manufactured 

goods used in the project are produced 

in the United States, or unless a waiver 

is granted by the head of the Federal 

department or agency. ARRA 1605(b) 

provides that the Buy American 

requirement shall not apply in any case
