FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sarah Cudahy, 202–606–8090, register@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Copies of 

the proposed questions are available 

below. Paper copies are available by 

emailing register@fmcs.gov. Please ask 

for the Stakeholder Survey. 

I. Information Collection Request 

Agency: Federal Mediation and 

Conciliation Service. 

Form Number: Not yet assigned. 

Type of Request: New collection; 

generic clearance. 

Affected Entities: Private sector; state, 

local, and tribal governments; 

individuals or households; and federal 

government. 

Frequency: These methods of 

engagement are utilized on an as-needed 

basis. Each engagement is completed 

once. 

Abstract: Pursuant to the 

Administrative Dispute Resolution Acts 

of 1990 and 1996, 5 U.S.C. 561 et seq. 

and 571 et seq., and 29 U.S.C. 173(f), the 

Federal Mediation and Conciliation 

Service provides conflict prevention, 

management, and resolution services, 

including, but not limited to, public 

policy facilitation and mediation 

services, to Federal agencies. As part of 

these services, sometimes FMCS 

employees need to survey or ask 

questions to determine the best process 

and participants to prevent, manage, or 

resolve the issue, particularly for public 

policy mediations, public policy or 

environmental facilitations, or 

negotiated rulemaking. To do so, FMCS 

has created a set of questions to ask 

various stakeholders about issues, 

concerns, engagement, and appropriate 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
14858 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 16, 2022 / Notices 

stakeholders relevant to the issues. The 

survey format will differ depending on 

the project, but may be conducted in 

one or more of the following ways, both 

in-person and virtually: Individual or 

group interviews, individual or group 

discussions, or written surveys. The 

survey requests information such as 

stakeholder understanding of the 

particular issue, stakeholder interests in 

the particular issue, appropriate 

stakeholders, methods of engagement 

with the issue, and other similar 

information that will allow FMCS to 

best create a successful process. A link 

to the survey is found here: https://

tags.fmcs.gov/4DAction/FC/ 

DoAsynchTop?Fedreg*UPPJ*919/10300. 

To log in, go to: https://tags.fmcs.gov/, 

use user name ‘‘Fedreg’’ and password 

‘‘UPPJ.’’ The collection of such 

information is critical for ensuring the 

appropriate process, stakeholders, and 

stakeholder input in the process. No 

other collections are being conducted 

that would provide this information to 

FMCS. 

Burden: The current total annual 

burden estimate is that FMCS will 

receive information from approximately 

15,000 respondents per year. Interviews 

and discussions would be 

approximately thirty minutes in 

duration. Written surveys would take 

approximately ten minutes to complete. 

FMCS expects the total burden to not 

exceed 2,535 hours per year. 

II. Request for Comments 

FMCS solicits comments to: 

i. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collections of information are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

ii. Enhance the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information. 

iii. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

iv. Minimize the burden of the 

collections of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic 

collection technologies or other forms of 

information technology. 

III. The Official Record 

The official records are electronic 

records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. Fiscal Year DSH Allotments 

A State’s Federal fiscal year (FY) 

disproportionate share hospital (DSH) 

allotment represents the aggregate limit 

on the Federal share (FS) amount of the 

State’s DSH payments to DSH hospitals 

in the State for the FY. The amount of 

such allotment is determined in 

accordance with the provisions of 

section 1923(f) of the Social Security 

Act (the Act), with some State-specific 

exceptions as specified in section 

1923(f) of the Act. Under such 

provisions, in general, a State’s FY DSH 

allotment is calculated by increasing the 

amount of its DSH allotment for the 

preceding FY by the percentage change 

in the Consumer Price Index for all 

Urban Consumers (CPI–U) for the 

previous FY. 

The Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–148), as 

amended by the Health Care and 

Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–152) (collectively, the 

Affordable Care Act), amended 

Medicaid DSH provisions, adding 

section 1923(f)(7) of the Act. Section 

1923(f)(7) of the Act would have 

required reductions to States’ FY DSH 

allotments from FY 2014 through FY 

2020, the calculation of which was 

described in the Disproportionate Share 

Hospital Payment Reduction final rule 

published in the September 18, 2013 

Federal Register (78 FR 57293). 

Subsequent legislation, most recently 

the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2021 (Pub. L. 116–260, enacted 

December 27, 2020), delayed the start of 

these reductions until FY 2024. The 

final rule delineating a revised 

methodology for the calculation of DSH 

allotment reductions beginning in 2020 

(subsequently delayed by further 

statutory enactment) was published in 

the September 25, 2019 Federal Register 

(84 FR 50308). 

Because there are no reductions to 

DSH allotments for FY 2018 through FY 

2023 under section 1923(f)(7) of the Act, 

as amended, this notice contains only 

the State-specific final FY 2018 and FY 

2019 DSH allotments and preliminary 

FY 2020 and FY 2021 DSH allotments, 

as calculated under the statute without 

application of the reductions that would 

have been imposed beginning as early as 

FY 2014 under prior versions of section 

1923(f)(7) of the Act. This notice also 

provides information on the calculation 

of the FY DSH allotments, the 

calculation of the States’ institution for 

mental diseases (IMD) DSH limits, and 

the amounts of States’ final FY 2018 and 

FY 2019 IMD DSH limits and 

preliminary FY 2020 and FY 2021 IMD 

DSH limits. 

B. Determination of Fiscal Year DSH 

Allotments 

Generally, in accordance with the 

methodology specified under section 

1923(f)(3) of the Act, a State’s FY DSH 

allotment is calculated by increasing the 

amount of its DSH allotment for the 

preceding FY by the percentage change 

in the CPI–U for the previous FY. Also, 

in accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of
