Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 104 / Friday, May 30, 2014 / Notices 31123 

11An advisory opinion has no application to, and 

cannot be relied upon by, any individual or entity 

other than the requestor of the opinion. Thus, a 

donor is not protected by an advisory opinion 

issued only to the entity to which it donates. See 

section 1128D(b)(4)(A) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a– 

7d(b)(4)(A)); 42 CFR 1008.53. 

C. Conduct of Donors 

Thus far, this Supplemental Bulletin 

has focused on the conduct of 

Independent Charity PAPs. Similarly, 

when we have issued favorable advisory 

opinions regarding Independent Charity 

PAPs, the focus has been on the 

charities that requested the opinions—- 

not the donors.11 In requesting an 

opinion, a charity certifies to actions it 

will take to ensure the independence of 

the PAP from the donors. The charity is 

not in a position to certify as to the 

actions of the donors with parties 

outside the arrangement. For example, 

an advisory opinion issued to an 

independent charity regarding the PAP 

it operates typically states that the 

charity has certified that it will provide 

donors only with reports including data 

such as the aggregate number of 

applicants for assistance, the aggregate 

number of patients qualifying for 

assistance, and the aggregate amount 

disbursed from the fund during that 

reporting period. Thus, the charity 

would not give a donor any information 

that would enable a donor to correlate 

the amount or frequency of its donations 

with the number of aid recipients who 

use its products or services or the 

volume of those products supported by 

the PAP. The procedures described in 

these certifications are a critical 

safeguard and a material fact upon 

which we have relied in issuing 

favorable advisory opinions regarding 

Independent Charity PAPs. These 

opinions do not address actions by 

donors to correlate their funding of 

PAPs with support for their own 

products. Such actions may be 

indicative of a donor’s intent to channel 

its financial support to copayments of 

its own products, which would 

implicate the anti-kickback statute. 

IV. Conclusion 

OIG continues to believe that properly 

structured, Independent Charity PAPs 

provide a valuable resource to 

financially needy patients. We also 

believe that Independent Charity PAPs 

raise serious risks of fraud, waste, and 

abuse if they are not sufficiently 

independent from donors. This 

Supplemental Bulletin reiterates and 

amplifies our guidance, based on 

practices and trends we have seen in the 

industry. We recognize that some 

charitable organizations with PAPs have 

received favorable advisory opinions 

that may include features that are 

discouraged in this Supplemental 

Bulletin. We are writing to all 

Independent Charity PAPs that have 

received favorable opinions to explain 

how we intend to work with them to 

ensure that approved arrangements are 

consistent with our guidance. We 

anticipate that some opinions will need 

to be modified. We will post any such 

modifications on our Web site with the 

original opinions, consistent with our 

current practice. Favorable advisory 

opinions will continue to protect the 

arrangements described in the opinions 

until we issue any final notice of 

modification or termination to the 

requestors of those opinions. It is our 

intent that there be no disruption of 

patient care during this process. Should 

donors or PAPs continue to have 

questions about the structure of a 

particular organization or transaction, 

the OIG Advisory Opinion process 

remains available. Information about the 

process may be found at: http://

oig.hhs.gov/faqs/advisory-opinionsfaq.asp.

ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), Science & Technology 

Directorate (S&T) invites the general 

public to comment on data collection 

forms for the National Capital Region 

(NCR) Secure Delivery Technology 

program. This is a new Paper Reduction 

Act collection without an OMB control 

number. Secure Delivery Technology is 

responsible for improving the efficiency 

and effectiveness of deliveries to 

General Services Administration (GSA) 

facilities in the NCR. 

Information collected by Federal 

Protective Service (FPS) personnel to 

ensure secured deliveries in the NCR 

includes the delivery driver’s name and 

license number. The information 

collected is used by FPS personnel to 

verify the identity of the driver at the 

delivery central screening facility and 

final destination locations, along with 

providing an auditable trail for postdelivery analysis should an event occur 

that requires forensics. 

DHS invites interested persons to 

comment on the ‘‘National Capital 

Region Secure Delivery Technology 

Driver Log’’ form and instructions 

(hereinafter ‘‘Forms Package’’) for the 

S&T NCR Secure Delivery Technology. 

Interested persons may receive a copy of 

the Forms Package by contacting the 

DHS S&T PRA Coordinator. This notice 

and request for comments is required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35). 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and

under the Paper Reduction Act. 

DHS is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Suggest ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

(4) Suggest ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information

technology, e.g., permitting electronic 

submissions of responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

This is a new collection.

name]; Department of Homeland 

Security, Science & Technology 

Directorate, Borders and Maritime 

Security Division. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Drivers of deliveries to GSA 

facilities in the NCR are required to 

provide their names and driver’s license 

to FPS personnel to bind the individual 

driver to the package being delivered, 

and any other data associated with the 

delivery for security purposes. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: 

a. Estimate of the total number of 

respondents: FPS contracts 

approximately ten (10) Protective 

Security Officers who are monitored by 

one (1) FTE to capture the driver and 

delivery information. 

b. An estimate of the time for an 

average respondent to respond: FPS 

personnel spend approximately five (5) 

minutes per delivery to capture the 

requisite information. 

c. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There is no burden on the 

public for the information capture—FPS 

personnel capture the data in parallel 

with other FPS personnel screening the 

delivery truck. It is estimated sixthousand (6000) staff hours will be 

saved by automating the management of 

the information being captured.

information that is both necessary and 

essential for the DHS OSAI. 

The SAFETY Act program promotes 

the development and use of antiterrorism technologies that will enhance 

the protection of the nation and 

provides risk management and litigation 

management protections for sellers of 

Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology 

(QATT) and others in the supply and 

distribution chain. The Department of
