21296 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 78 / Friday, April 23, 2010 / Notices 

Act of 2003 (MMA) provides a 

requirement to collect and report 

performance data for Part D prescription 

drug plans. Specifically, the MMA 

under section 1860D–4 (Beneficiary 

Protections for Qualified Prescription 

Drug Coverage) requires CMS to conduct 

consumer satisfaction surveys regarding 

PDPs and MA–PDs. CMS seeks through 

the survey to obtain information about 

beneficiaries’ reasons for disenrolling 

from their chosen Part D plan, and their 

expectations relative to provided 

benefits and services. Determining the 

reasons for disenrollment from Part D 

plans will provide important 

information regarding potential 

dissatisfaction with some aspect of the 

plan, such as access, service, cost, 

quality of care, or the benefits provided. 

This information can be used by CMS to 

improve the design and functioning of 

the Part D program. Form Number: 

CMS–10316 (OMB#: 0938–New); 

Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: 

Individuals and households; Number of 

Respondents: 120,000; Total Annual 

Responses: 120,000; Total Annual 

Hours: 34,800. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Phyllis 

Nagy at 410–786–6646. For all other 

issues call 410–786–1326.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Chronic Care 

Improvement Program and Medicare 

Advantage Quality Improvement 

Project; Use: The Social Security Act, 

section 1852 e(1), (2) and (3)(a)(i), and 

CFR 42, 422.152 describe CMS’ 

regulatory authority to require each 

Medicare Advantage Organization (other 

than Medicare Advantage (MA) private 

fee for service and MSA plans) that 

offers one or more MA plans to have an 

ongoing quality assessment and 

performance improvement program. 

This program must include measuring 

performance using standard measures 

required by CMS and report its 

performance to CMS. Form Number:

Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: 

Business or other for-profits and Notfor-profit institutions; Number of

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

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; Title of 

Information Collection: Developing 

Outpatient Therapy Payment 

Alternatives; Use: In Section 545 of the 

Benefits Improvement and Protection 

Act (BIPA) of 2000, the Congress 

required the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services to report on the development of 

standardized assessment instruments for 

outpatient therapy. Currently, CMS does 

not collect these data. The purpose of 

this project is to identify, collect, and 

analyze therapy-related information tied 

to beneficiary need and the effectiveness 

of outpatient therapy services that is 

currently unavailable to CMS. The 

immediate goals are to develop and 

assess the feasibility of a comprehensive 

and uniform therapy-related data 

collection instrument and to determine 

the subset of the measures that CMS can 

routinely and reliably collect in support 

of payment alternatives. The ultimate 

goal is to develop payment method 

alternatives to the current financial cap 

on Medicare outpatient therapy 

services. 

CMS made over 20 changes and 

improvements to the CARE–C and 

CARE–F instruments. Many revisions 

were minor word changes or 

clarifications to item coding 

instructions. The revised version of 

CARE retains its clinical integrity while 

allowing for greater response specificity.

in effort to prevent them from 

inappropriately transferring individuals 

with emergency medical conditions, as 

mandated by Congress. CMS uses this 

information to help assure compliance 

not contained elsewhere in regulations.

National Institutes of Health 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request Web Based 

Training for Pain Management 

Providers 

Under the provisions of section 

3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institute on Drug Abuse, the National 

Institutes of Health has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request to review and approve 

the information collection listed below. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register in Vol. 75, No. 25, pages 6208– 

6209 on Monday, February 8, 2010 and 

allowed 60 days for public comment. No 

public comments were received on the 

planned study or any of the specific 

topics outlined in the 60-day notice. 

Five comments were received 

requesting information on the 

educational program rather than the 

study. Responses to these requests were 

sent to the interested parties. The 

purpose of this notice is to allow an 

additional 30 days for public comment. 

5 CFR 1320.5 (General requirements) 

Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements: Final Rule requires that 

the agency inform the potential persons 

who are to respond to the collection of 

information that such persons are not 

required to respond to the collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Proposed Collection 

Title: Web Based Training for Pain 

Management Providers. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: New. 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: This research will evaluate 

the effectiveness of the Web Based 

Training for Pain Management 

Providers, via the Web site 

PainAndAddictionTreatment.com, to 

positively impact the knowledge, 

attitudes, intended behaviors and 

clinical skills of health care providers in 

the US who treat pain. The Web Based 

Training for Pain Management Providers 

is a new program developed with 

funding from the National Institute on 

Drug Abuse. The primary goal is to 

assess the impact of the training 

program on knowledge, attitude, 

intended behavior, and clinical skills. A 

secondary goal is to assess learner 

satisfaction with the program. If the 

program is a success, there will be a 

new, proven resource available to health 

care providers to improve their ability to 

treat pain and addiction co-occurring in 

the provider’s patients. In order to 

evaluate the effectives of the program, 

information will be collected from 

health care providers before exposure to 

the web based materials (pre-test), after 

exposure to the web based materials 

(post-test), and 4–6 weeks after the 

program has been completed (followup). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Volunteer health care 

providers who treat patients with pain. 

Type of Respondents: Physicians, 

nurse practitioners, and physician 

assistants. 

The annual reporting burden is as 

follows: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

80. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 3. 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

0.75. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours Requested: 180. 

The annualized cost to respondents is 

estimated at: $11,925. There are no 

Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or 

Maintenance Costs to report.
