SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-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 that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Application for 

Participation in the Intravenous 

Immune Globulin (IVIG) Demonstration; 

Use: Traditional fee-for-service (FFS) 

Medicare covers some or all 

components of home infusion services 

depending on the circumstances. By 

special statutory provision, Medicare 

Part B covers intravenous immune 

globulin (IVIG) for persons with primary 

immune deficiency disease (PIDD) who 

wish to receive the drug at home. 

However, Medicare does not separately 

pay for any services or supplies to 

administer it if the person is not 

homebound and otherwise receiving 

services under a Medicare Home Health 

episode of care. As a result, many 

beneficiaries have chosen to receive the 

drug at their doctor’s office or in an 

outpatient hospital setting. 

On September 29, 2017, the ‘‘Disaster 

Tax Relief and Airport and Airway 

Extension Act of 2017’’ was enacted into 

law. Section 302 of this legislation 

extends the Medicare IVIG 

Demonstration through December 31, 

2020. While existing beneficiaries 

enrolled in the demonstration as of 

September 30, 2017 will be 

automatically re-enrolled, in order to 

continue to enroll new beneficiaries into 

the demonstration, an application is 

required. The original enrollment and 

financial limits remain and CMS will 

continue to monitor both to assure that 

statutory limitations are not exceeded. 

This collection of information is for 

the application to participate in the 

demonstration. Participation is 

voluntary and may be terminated by the 

beneficiary at any time. Beneficiaries 

who do not participate will continue to 

be eligible to receive all of the regular 

Medicare Part B benefits that they are 

would be eligible for in the absence of 

the demonstration. Form Number: 

CMS–10518 (OMB control number: 

0938–1246); Frequency: Annually; 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households; Number of Respondents: 

1,220; Total Annual Responses: 1,220 

Total Annual Hours: 305. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection

Proposed Projects: Intergovernmental 

Reference Guide. 

Title: Intergovernmental Reference 

Guide (IRG). 

Description: The Intergovernmental 

Reference Guide (IRG) is a centralized 

and automated repository of state and 

tribal profiles, which contains highlevel descriptions of each state and 

tribal child support enforcement (CSE) 

program. These profiles provide state 

and tribal CSE agencies, and foreign 

countries with an effective and efficient 

method for updating and accessing 

information needed to process 

intergovernmental child support cases. 

The IRG information collection 

activities are authorized by: (1) 42 

U.S.C. 652(a)(7), which requires the 

federal Office of Child Support 

Enforcement (OCSE) to provide 

technical assistance to state child 

support enforcement agencies to help 

them establish effective systems for 

collecting child and spousal support; (2) 

42 U.S.C. 666(f), which requires states to 

enact the Uniform Interstate Family 

Support Act; (3) 45 CFR 301.1, which 

defines an intergovernmental case to 

include cases between states and tribes; 

(4) 45 CFR 309.120, which requires a 

tribal child support program to include 

intergovernmental procedures in its 

tribal IV–D plan; and (5) 45 CFR 303.7, 

which requires state child support
