Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 151 / Friday, August 5, 2011 / Notices 47591 

Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final 

rule, advice on methods of dose 

reconstruction which have also been 

promulgated by HHS as a final rule, advice 

on the scientific validity and quality of dose 

estimation and reconstruction efforts being 

performed for purposes of the compensation 

program, and advice on petitions to add 

classes of workers to the Special Exposure 

Cohort (SEC). 

In December 2000, the President delegated 

responsibility for funding, staffing, and 

operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which 

subsequently delegated this authority to the 

CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility 

for CDC. The charter was issued on August 

3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, 

and will expire on August 3, 2011. 

Purpose: This Advisory Board is charged 

with (a) providing advice to the Secretary, 

HHS, on the development of guidelines 

under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing 

advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the 

scientific validity and quality of dose 

reconstruction efforts performed for this 

program; and (c) upon request by the 

Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on 

whether there is a class of employees at any 

Department of Energy facility who were 

exposed to radiation but for whom it is not 

feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and 

on whether there is reasonable likelihood 

that such radiation doses may have 

endangered the health of members of this 

class. 

Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for 

the Advisory Board meeting includes: NIOSH 

Program Update and 10-Year Program 

Review; Department of Labor (DOL) Program 

Update; Department of Energy (DOE) 

Program Update; Hanford Work Group 

Update; SEC petitions for: W.R. Grace (Curtis 

Bay, Maryland), Piqua Organic Moderated 

Reactor (1963–1966), Y–12 (1948–1957), 

Hangar 481 (Kirtland Air Force Base), Hooker 

Electrochemical, Feed Materials Production 

Center (Fernald, Ohio), Norton Company, 

Savannah River Site, Pantex Plant, Vitro 

Manufacturing (1959–1965), Ames 

Laboratory (1942–1970); SEC Petition Status 

Updates; Subcommittee and Work Group 

Reports; and Board Work Sessions. 

The agenda is subject to change as 

priorities dictate. 

In the event an individual cannot attend, 

written comments may be submitted in 

accordance with the redaction policy 

provided below. Any written comments 

received will be provided at the meeting and 

should be submitted to the contact person 

below well in advance of the meeting. 

Policy on Redaction of Board Meeting 

Transcripts (Public Comment): (1) If a person 

making a comment gives his or her name, no 

attempt will be made to redact that name. (2) 

NIOSH will take reasonable steps to ensure 

that individuals making public comment are 

aware of the fact that their comments 

(including their name, if provided) will 

appear in a transcript of the meeting posted 

on a public website. Such reasonable steps 

include: (a) A statement read at the start of 

each public comment period stating that 

transcripts will be posted and names of 

speakers will not be redacted; (b) A printed 

copy of the statement mentioned in (a) Above 

will be displayed on the table where 

individuals sign up to make public 

comments; (c) A statement such as outlined 

in (a) Above will also appear with the agenda 

for a Board Meeting when it is posted on the 

NIOSH Web site; (d) A statement such as in 

(a) Above will appear in the Federal Register 

Notice that announces Board and 

Subcommittee meetings. (3) If an individual 

in making a statement reveals personal 

information (e.g., medical information) about 

themselves that information will not usually 

be redacted. The NIOSH FOIA coordinator 

will, however, review such revelations in 

accordance with the Freedom of Information 

Act and the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

and if deemed appropriate, will redact such 

information. (4) All disclosures of 

information concerning third parties will be 

redacted. (5) If it comes to the attention of the 

DFO that an individual wishes to share 

information with the Board but objects to 

doing so in a public forum, the DFO will 

work with that individual, in accordance 

with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, to 

find a way that the Board can hear such 

comments.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Correction 

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) 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 functions; 

(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: Extension of a previously 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Consumer 

Operated and Oriented (CO–OP) 

Program; Use: The Consumer Operated 

and Oriented Plan (CO–OP) program is 

a new program, established by Section 

1322 of the Affordable Care Act. This 

program provides for loans to establish 

at least one consumer-operated, 

qualified nonprofit health insurance 

issuer in each State. Issuers supported 

by the CO–OP program will offer at least 

one qualified health plan at the silver 

level of benefits and one at the gold 

level of benefits in the Affordable 

Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges). At 

least two-thirds of policies or contracts 

offered by a CO–OP will be open to 

individuals and small employers. Profits 

generated by the nonprofit CO–OPs will 

be used to lower premiums, improve 

benefits, improve the quality of health 

care delivered to their members, expand 

enrollment, or otherwise contribute to 

the stability of coverage offered by the 

CO–OP. By increasing competition in 

the health insurance market and 

operating with a strong consumer focus, 

the CO–OP program will provide 

consumers more choices, greater plan 

accountability, increased competition to 

lower prices, and better models of care, 

benefiting all consumers, not just CO– 

OP members. 

The CO–OP program will provide 

nonprofits with loans to fund start-up 

costs and State reserve requirements, in 

the form of Start-up Loans and Solvency 

Loans. An applicant may apply for (1) 

Joint Start-up and Solvency Loans; or (2) 

only a Solvency Loan. Start-up Loans 

are intended to assist loan recipients 

with the many start-up costs associated 

with establishing a new health 

insurance issuer. Solvency Loans are 

intended to assist loan recipients with 

meeting the solvency requirements of 

States in which the applicant seeks to be 

licensed to issue qualified health plans. 

The Funding Opportunity 

Announcement (FOA) was released on 

July 28, 2011. Applications will be due 

on October 17, 2011 and on a quarterly 


erowe on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
47592 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 151 / Friday, August 5, 2011 / Notices 

basis thereafter up to and including 

December 31, 2012. At that time, a new 

FOA will be released subject to the 

availability of funding. Loan awards 

will be announced within 

approximately 75 days after each 

completed application is received. 

The purpose of this 60-day notice is 

to announce that CMS is seeking an 

extension of the information collection 

request (ICR) currently approved under 

0938–1139. The Office of Management 

and Budget previously reviewed and
