SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) 

[42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.] amended the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) [42 

U.S.C. 9601 et seq.] by establishing 

certain requirements for ATSDR and the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) with regard to hazardous 

substances most commonly found at 

facilities on the CERCLA National 

Priorities List (NPL). Among these 

statutory requirements is a mandate for 

the Administrator of ATSDR to prepare 

toxicological profiles for each substance 

included on the Priority List of 

Hazardous Substances (also called the 

Substance Priority List). This list 

identifies 275 hazardous substances that 

ATSDR (in cooperation with EPA) have 

determined pose the most significant 

potential threat to human health. The 

availability of the revised list of the 275 

priority substances was announced in 

the Federal Register on November 3rd, 

2011 (76 FR 68193). For prior versions 

of the list of substances, see Federal 

Register notices dated December 7, 2005 

(70 FR 70284); and March 6, 2008 

(73 FR 12178). 

Substances To Be Evaluated for Set 26 

Toxicological Profiles 

Each year, ATSDR develops a list of 

substances to be considered for 

toxicological profile development. The 

Set 26 nomination process includes 

consideration of all substances on the 

ATSDR’s Substance Priority List (SPL) 

as well as other substances nominated 

by the public. The 275 substances on 

the list will be considered for Set 26 

Toxicological Profile development. This 

list may be found at the following Web 

site: www.atsdr.cdc.gov/SPL, and in the 

docket at www.regulations.gov. 

Submission of Nominations for the 

evaluation of Set 26 Substances: 

Today’s notice invites voluntary public 

nominations for substances included on 

the SPL and for substances not listed on 

the SPL. All nominations should 

include full name of the nominator, 

affiliation, and email address. When 

nominating a non-SPL substance, please 

include the rationale for the 

nomination. Please note, email 

addresses will not be posted on 

regulations.gov. 

ATSDR will evaluate all data and 

information associated with nominated 

substances and will determine the final 

list of substances to be chosen for 

toxicological profile development. 

Substances will be chosen according to 

ATSDR’s specific guidelines for 

selection. These guidelines can be found 

in the Selection Criteria announced in 

the Federal Register on May 7, 1993 

(58FR27286–27287). A hard copy of the 

Selection Criteria is available upon

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. Title of Information Collection: 

Annual MLR and Rebate Calculation 

Report; Type of Collection: New 

collection; Use: Under Section 2718 of 

the Affordable Care Act and 

implementing regulation at 45 CFR Part 

158 (75 FR 74865, December 1, 2010) as 

modified by technical corrections on 

December 30, 2010 (75 FR 82277), a 

health insurance issuer (issuer) offering 

group or individual health insurance 

coverage must submit a report to the 

Secretary concerning the amount the 

issuer spends each year on claims, 

quality improvement expenses, nonclaims costs, Federal and State taxes 

and licensing and regulatory fees, and 

the amount of earned premium. An 

issuer must provide an annual rebate to 

enrollees if the amount it spends on 

certain costs compared to its premium 

revenue (excluding Federal and State 

taxes and licensing and regulatory fees) 

does not meet a certain ratio, referred to 

as the medical loss ratio (MLR). An 

interim final rule (IFR) implementing 

the MLR was published on December 1, 

2010 (75 FR 74865) and modified by 

technical corrections on December 30, 

2010 (75 FR 82277), which added Part 

158 to Title 45 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations. The IFR is effective January 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

20024 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 64 / Tuesday, April 3, 2012 / Notices 

1, 2011. A final rule regarding selected 

provisions of the IFR was published on 

December 7, 2011 (76 FR 76574, CMS– 

9998–FC) and an interim final rule 

regarding an issue not included in 

issuers’ reporting obligations 

(disbursement of rebates by non-federal 

governmental plans) was also published 

December 7, 2011 (76 FR 76596, CMS– 

9998–IFC2). Both rules published on 

December 7, 2011 are effective January 

1, 2012. Each issuer is required to 

submit annually MLR data, including 

information about any rebates it must 

provide, on a form prescribed by CMS, 

for each State in which the issuer 

conducts business. Each issuer is also 

required to provide a rebate notice to 

each enrollee that is due a rebate 

payment for any given MLR reporting 

year. Additionally, each issuer is 

required to maintain for a period of 

seven years all documents, records and 

other evidence that support the data 

included in each issuer’s annual report 

to the Secretary. 

The original 60-day comment period 

began on December 16, 2011 and 

pertained to the MLR Annual Reporting 

Form, and closed on February 14, 2012. 

On February 16, we published an 

amended PRA package with Notices to 

Consumers and reopened the public 

comment period until March 2, 2012 to 

accommodate comments on the 

amendments to the PRA package. We 

received a total of 15 public comments 

regarding the Annual Reporting Form 

and 11 public comments regarding the 

Notices to Consumers and Instructions 

for these notices. Most public comments 

addressed multiple issues. We have 

taken into consideration all the 

proposed suggestions and have made 

changes to the Annual Reporting Form 

and Instructions, as well as to the 

Notices to Consumers and Instructions. 

In addition, CMS is adjusting the 

estimated burden that correlates with 

the Rebate Notices and the MLR 

Information Notices.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Title: Study of Coordination of Tribal 

TANF and Child Welfare Services. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Study of 

Coordination of Tribal TANF and Child 

Welfare Services is sponsored by the 

Office of Planning, Research and 

Evaluation (OPRE), Administration for 

Children and Families of the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. The study examines the 

approaches and strategies utilized by 

tribes and tribal organizations that were 

awarded the grants for Coordination of 

Tribal TANF and Child Welfare Services 

to Tribal Families at Risk of Child 

Abuse or Neglect. 

The descriptive study of these 

programs that serve tribal communities 

will document the way in which the 

tribal grantees are creating and adapting 

culturally relevant and appropriate 

approaches, systems, and programs to 

increase coordination and enhance 

service delivery to address child abuse 

and neglect. The study will also 

document challenges faced and lessons 

learned to inform the field of practice as 

well as policymakers and funders at 

various levels. 

The proposed information collection 

activities consist of semi-structured 

interviews, conducted at each of the 14 

tribal communities, and a grantee 

feedback survey on the usefulness of 

periodically held cross-grantee learning 

events. 

Respondents: Program director(s), 

tribal TANF and child welfare staff and 

supervisors, program partners, and 

tribal leaders or elders. The information 

collection does not include direct 

interaction with individuals or families 

that receive the services.
