Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 20, 2018 / Proposed Rules 28603 

seek verification from the requester that 

the request is in furtherance of scholarly 

research. 

Exempt means the record in question, 

or a portion thereof, is not subject to 

disclosure due to one or more of the 

nine statutory FOIA exemptions, found 

at 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(1) through (9). 

Exemption refers to one or more of the 

FOIA’s nine statutory exemptions, 

found at 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(1) through (9). 

FOIA Requester Service Center is the 

office that oversees FOIA requests for all 

of GSA. 

Interim response is when the agency 

releases the records on a rolling basis, 

as the records are located and verified. 

Noncommercial scientific institution 

is an institution that is not operated on 

a ‘‘commercial’’ basis, as defined in this 

section and that is operated solely for 

the purpose of conducting scientific 

research the results of which are not 

intended to promote any particular 

product or industry. A requester in this 

category must show that the request is 

authorized by and is made under the 

auspices of a qualifying institution and 

that the records are sought to further 

scientific research and are not for a 

commercial use. GSA shall advise 

requesters of their placement in this 

category. 

Perfected FOIA Request. A perfected 

FOIA request is a FOIA request for 

records which adequately describes the 

records sought, is made in accordance 

with GSA’s regulations, which has been 

received by the GSA FOIA Requester 

Service center the FOIA office of the 

agency or agency component in 

possession of the records, and for which 

there is no remaining question about the 

payment or amount of applicable fees. 

Referral. When an agency locates a 

record that originated with, or is of 

otherwise primary interest to another 

agency, it will forward that record to the 

other agency to process the record and 

to provide the final determination 

directly to the requester. This process is 

called a ‘‘referral.’’ 

Representative of the news media. 

Any person or entity that gathers 

information of potential interest to a 

segment of the public, uses its editorial 

skills to turn the raw materials into a 

distinct work and distributes that work 

to an audience. The term ‘‘news’’ means 

information that is about current events 

or that would be of current interest to 

the public. Examples of news media 

entities include television or radio 

stations that broadcast ‘‘news’’ to the 

public at large and publishers of 

periodicals that disseminate ‘‘news’’ 

and make their products available 

through a variety of means to the 

general public, including news 

organizations that disseminate solely on 

the internet. A request for records 

supporting the news-dissemination 

function of the requester shall not be 

considered to be for a commercial use. 

‘‘Freelance’’ journalists who 

demonstrate a solid basis for expecting 

publication through a news media entity 

shall be considered as a representative 

of the news media. A publishing 

contract would provide the clearest 

evidence that publication is expected; 

however, GSA can also consider a 

requester’s past publication record in 

making this determination. GSA shall 

advise requesters of their placement in 

this category. 

Review. Examination of a record 

located in response to a request in order 

to determine whether any portion of it 

is exempt from disclosure. Review time 

includes processing any record for 

disclosure, such as doing all that is 

necessary to prepare the record for 

disclosure, including the process of 

redacting the record and marking the 

appropriate exemptions. Review costs 

are properly charged even if a record 

ultimately is not disclosed. Review time 

also includes time spent both obtaining 

and considering any formal objection to 

disclosure made by a confidential 

commercial information submitter 

under § 7 of this subpart, but it does not 

include time spent resolving general 

legal or policy issues regarding the 

application of exemptions. 

Review Fees. Costs which may be 

charged to commercial-use requesters 

that consist of direct costs incurred 

during the initial examination of a 

document for the purposes of 

determining whether the records must 

be disclosed under the FOIA. Review 

time includes processing the documents 

for disclosure. 

Search. The process of looking for and 

retrieving records or information 

responsive to a request. Search time 

includes page-by-page/or line-by-line 

identification of information within 

records and the reasonable efforts 

expended to locate and retrieve 

information from electronic records. 

Search Fees. Charges for document 

‘‘search’’ that include all the time spent 

looking for responsive material, 

including page-by-page or line-by-line 

identification of material within 

documents. GSA may charge for search 

time even when it fails to locate records 

responsive to request or even if the 

records located are subsequently 

determined to be exempt from 

disclosure. 

Simple request. A FOIA request that 

an agency using multi-track processing 

places in its fastest (non-expedited) 

track based on the volume and/or 

simplicity of records requested. 

Submitter means any person or entity, 

including a corporation, State, or foreign 

government, but not including another 

Federal Government entity, that 

provides confidential commercial 

information, either directly or indirectly 

to the Federal Government.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James Poyer (410) 786–2261. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In FR Doc. 2018–08705 of May 7, 

2018 (83 FR 20164) there were a number 

of technical and typographical errors 

that are identified and corrected by the 

Correction of Errors section of this 

correcting document. 

II. Summary of Errors in the Preamble 

On page 20165, in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section, we 

inadvertently omitted the contact for the 

Medicaid Promoting Interoperability 

Program. 

On pages 20384, 20385, and 20401, 

we made errors that describe the notice 

announcing the extension of changes to 

the payment adjustment for low-volume 

hospitals and the Medicare-dependent 

hospital (MDH) program for fiscal year 

(FY) 2018 (CMS–1677–N) as appearing 

in the May 7, 2018 issue of the Federal 

Register in which the proposed rule 

appeared. This notice appeared in the 

April 26, 2018 issue of the Federal 

Register (83 FR 18301). 

On pages 20483, 20484, and 20492, in 

our discussion of the Hospital Inpatient 

Quality Reporting (IQR) Program, we 

made technical and typographical errors 

in two website links and in referencing 

the payment determination year 

corresponding with the CY 2020 

reporting period. 

On page 20533, in our discussion of 

the proposed new measure for the 

Promoting Interoperability Programs, 

Support Electronic Referral Loops by 

Receiving and Incorporating Health 

Information, we made a technical error 

in our citation to the CEHRT capabilities 

and standards that eligible hospitals and 

CAHs must use. We erroneously cited 

45 CFR 170.315(g)(1) and (2) instead of 

45 CFR 170.315(b)(1) and (2). 

On page 20557, in our discussion of 

the information collection requirements 

for the Hospital IQR Program, we made 

a technical error by referring to an 

outdated name of a form in our 

description of burden estimates for 

proposed removal of two structural 

measures. 

On page 20563, in our discussion of 

the information collection burden 

estimates for the Promoting 

Interoperability Programs, we made a 

technical error by incorrectly referring 

to Title 45 instead of Title 42 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) when 

describing proposed amendments to the 

prior approval policy applicable in the 

Medicaid Promoting Interoperability 

Program.
