**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;

**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 section1605(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
