Background 

HHS/CDC established the Vessel 

Sanitation Program (VSP) in the 1970s 

as a cooperative activity with the cruise 

ship industry. VSP helps the cruise ship 

industry prevent and control the 

introduction and spread of 

environmentally associated illnesses 

and hazards on cruise ships. VSP 

operates under the authority of the 

Public Health Service Act (Section 361 

of the Public Health Service Act; 42 

U.S.C. 264, ‘‘Control of Communicable 

Diseases’’). Regulations found at 42 CFR 

71.41 (Foreign Quarantine— 

Requirements Upon Arrival at U.S. 

Ports: Sanitary Inspection; General 

Provisions) state that carriers arriving at 

U.S. ports from a foreign area are subject 

to sanitary inspections to determine 

whether potential rodent, insect, or 

other vermin infestations; contaminated 

food or water; or other sanitary 

conditions require measures to prevent 

introduction or spread of communicable 

diseases. 

New requirements are not the focus 

for the VSP Environmental Public 

Health Standards (formerly the VSP 

Operations Manual) and VSP 

Construction Standards (formerly the 

VSP Construction Guidelines). Updates 

only clarify content or correct errors in 

the 2018 editions or address 

inconsistencies between the 2018 

editions and the Food and Drug 

Administration 2022 Food Code. 

The draft VSP Environmental Public 

Health Standards and VSP Construction 

Standards are available online at https:// 

www.regulations.gov/, Docket No. CDC– 

2024–0090, under Supplemental 

Materials. All public comments will be 

reviewed and considered when 

finalizing these documents. Once 

finalized, documents will be available 

both in docket CDC–2024–0090 and on 

CDC’s website at https://www.cdc.gov/ 

vessel-sanitation/about/index.html.

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is 

defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA 

requires federal agencies to publish a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, CMS is publishing this 

notice. 

Information Collections 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Section 1115 

Demonstration Projects Regulations at 

42 CFR 431.408, 431.412, 431.420, 

431.424, and 431.428; Use: This 

collection is necessary to ensure that 

states comply with regulatory and 

statutory requirements related to the 

development, implementation and 

evaluation of demonstration projects. 

States seeking waiver authority under 

section 1115 are required to meet 

certain requirements for public notice, 

the evaluation of demonstration 

projects, and reports to the Secretary on 

the implementation of approved 

demonstrations. Form Number: CMS– 

10341 (OMB control number: 0938– 

1162); Frequency: Yearly and quarterly; 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments; Number of Respondents: 

48; Total Annual Responses: 403; Total 

Annual Hours: 41,847. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Raven Smith at 410–786–3731.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Reporting 

Requirements and Corrective Action 

Plans Under section 1902(tt) of the 

Social Security Act; Use: The data and 

information in the CAP that states are 

required to report is used by CMS to 

document that states’ redetermination 

activities are in compliance with 

Federal redetermination requirements, 

to identify concerns with eligibility 

renewals within a state’s Medicaid 

program, and to inform any necessary 

programmatic changes to address 

unauthorized loss of coverage. CMS 

uses the information to conduct 

oversight of state activities and to make 

informed decisions whether to take 

enforcement action in the form of 

requiring the suspension of procedural 

terminations and/or imposing CMPs. 

Form Number: CMS–10875 (OMB 

control number: 0938–1462); Frequency: 

Once and on occasion; Affected Public: 

State, Local, or Tribal Governments; 

Number of Respondents: 8; Total 

Annual Responses: 16; Total Annual 

Hours: 408. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Abby 

Kahn at 410–786–4321.) 

3. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Application for 

Enrollment in Medicare Part B (Medical 

Insurance); Use: Medicare Part B is a 

voluntary program, financed from 

premium payments by enrollees, 

together with contributions from funds 

appropriated by the Federal 

government. The Social Security Act 

(the Act) at section 226(a) provides that 

individuals who are age 65 or older and 

eligible for, or entitled to, Social 

Security or Railroad Retirement Board 

(RRB) benefits shall be entitled to 

premium-free Part A upon filing an 

application for such benefits. Section 

1836 of the Act permits individuals 

with Medicare premium-free Part A to 

enroll in Part B. The CMS–40B provides 

the necessary information to determine 

eligibility and to process the 

beneficiary’s request for enrollment for 

Medicare Part B coverage. This form is 

only used for enrollment by 

beneficiaries who already have Part A, 

but not Part B. 

Form CMS–40B is completed by the 

person with Medicare or occasionally by 

an SSA representative using information 

provided by the Medicare enrollee 

during an in-person interview. The form 

is owned by CMS, but not completed by

Number: CMS–40B (OMB control 

number: 0938–1230); Frequency: Once; 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households; Number of Respondents: 

1,184,546; Total Annual Responses: 

1,184,546; Total Annual Hours: 292,820. 

(For policy questions regarding this 

collection contact Carla Patterson at 

410–786–8911 or Carla.Patterson@

cms.hhs.gov.) 

4. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Application for 

Medicare Part A and Part B Special 

Enrollment Period (Exceptional 

Circumstances); Use: Section 1837(m) of 

the Social Security Act (the Act) 

provides authority for the Secretary of 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services to establish SEPs for 

individuals who are eligible to enroll in 

Medicare and meet such exceptional 

conditions as the Secretary may 

provide. 

CMS provides SEPs for individuals 

experiencing an exceptional 

circumstance to enroll in Medicare 

premium Part A and Part B. To utilize 

these SEPs, an individual would have to 

submit an enrollment request via the 

form CMS–10797. The form is used by 

individuals who have missed an 

enrollment period due to an exceptional 

circumstance to enroll in Part A and/or 

Part B. Individuals complete the form 

and submit it to SSA to complete the 

enrollment. 

The application form provides the 

necessary information to determine 

eligibility and to process the 

beneficiary’s request for enrollment in 

premium Part A or Part B due to an 

exceptional circumstance. The form is 

only used for enrollment by 

beneficiaries who could not enroll 

during another enrollment period due to 

an exceptional circumstance. Form 

Number: CMS–10797 (OMB control 

number: 0938–1426); Frequency: Once; 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Business or other forprofits, Not-for-profits institutions; 

Number of Respondents: 34,612; Total 

Annual Responses: 34,612; Total 

Annual Hours: 19,901. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Carla Patterson at 410–786–8911 

or Carla.Patterson@cms.hhs.gov.) 

5. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Request for 

Enrollment in Supplementary Medical 

Insurance (SMI); Use: Section 1836 of 

the Social Security Act, and CMS 

regulations at 42 CFR 407.10, provide 

the eligibility requirements for 

enrollment in Part B for individuals 

aged 65 and older who are not entitled 

to premium-free Part A. The individual 

must be a resident of the United States, 

and either a U.S. Citizen or an alien 

lawfully admitted for permanent 

residence that has lived in the US 

continually for 5 years. 

Part B is a voluntary program and is 

financed from premium payments by 

enrollees together with contributions 

from funds appropriated by the Federal 

government. All individuals age 65 or 

older who are entitled to Part A can 

enroll in Part B. There are some 

individuals, age 65 and over who are 

not entitled to or eligible for premiumfree Part A. These individuals may, 

however, enroll in Part B only. 

The CMS–4040 solicits the 

information that is used to determine 

entitlement for individuals who meet 

the requirements in section 1836 as well 

as the entitlement of the applicant or 

their spouses to an annuity paid by 

OPM for premium deduction purposes. 

The application follows the application 

questions and requirements used by 

SSA. This is done not only for 

consistency purposes but to comply 

with other title II and title XVIII 

requirements because eligibility to title 

II benefits and free Part A under title 

XVIII must be ruled out in order to 

qualify for enrollment in Part B only. 

Form Number: CMS–4040 (OMB control 

number: 0938–0245); Frequency: Once; 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Business or other forprofits, Not-for-profits institutions; 

Number of Respondents: 48,642; Total 

Annual Responses: 48,642; Total 

Annual Hours: 12,161. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Administration for Native 

Americans Project Outcome 

Assessment Survey (Office of 

Management and Budget #: 0970–0379) 

AGENCY: Administration for Native 

Americans, Administration for Children 

and Families, U.S. Department of Health 

and Human Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) is 

requesting a 3-year extension of the 

Administration for Native Americans 

Project Outcome Assessment Survey 

(OMB #: 0970–0379, expiration 6/30/ 

2025). The survey was revised based on 

a review by the Administration for 

Native Americans (ANA) and feedback 

from grantees, which identified some 

data elements that could be eliminated 

and areas that could be clarified. 

DATES: Comments due December 30, 

2024. In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 

public comment on the specific aspects 

of the information collection described 

above. 

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the 

proposed collection of information and 

submit comments by emailing 

infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all 

requests by the title of the information 

collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The information 

collected by the Project Outcome 

Assessment Survey is needed for two 

main reasons—(1) to collect crucial 

information required to report on ANA’s 

established Government Performance 

and Results Act (GPRA) measures and 

(2) to properly abide by ANA’s 

congressionally mandated statute (42 

U.S.C. 2991 et seq.) found within the 

Native American Programs Act of 1974, 

as amended, which states that ANA will 

evaluate projects assisted through ANA 

grant dollars ‘‘including evaluations that 

describe and measure the impact of 

such projects, their effectiveness in 

achieving stated goals, their impact on 

related programs, and their structure 

and mechanisms for delivery of 

services.’’ The survey information is 

requested once at the end of a project 

grant period. The information collected 

with this survey will fulfill ANA’s 

statutory requirement and will also 

serve as an important planning and 

performance tool for ANA. 

There are minor revisions proposed to 

the survey to align with ANA’s current 

requirements of grant recipients and 

eliminate duplicative data elements. 

Respondents: Tribal Governments, 

Native American nonprofit 

organizations, and Tribal Colleges and 

Universities.
