Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services. 

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), Department of Health 

and Human Services, 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 function; 

(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 currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Medicare 

Program; Conditions for Payment of 

Power Mobility Devices, including 

Power Wheelchairs and Power-Operated 

Vehicles; Use: CMS is renewing our 

request for approval for the collection 

requirements associated with the final 

rule, CMS–3017–F (71 FR 17021), which 

was published on April 5, 2006 and 

became effective on June 5, 2006. The 

regulation CMS–3017–F finalized 

provisions set forth in the interim final 

regulation (70 FR 50940) published on 

August 26, 2005. This final rule 

conforms our regulations to section 

302(a)(2)(E)(iv) of the Medicare 

Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 

Modernization Act of 2003. This rule 

defines the term power mobility devices 

(PMDs) as power wheelchairs and 

power operated vehicles (POVs or 

scooters). It sets forth revised conditions 

for Medicare payment of PMDs and 

defines who may prescribe PMDs. This 

rule also requires a face-to-face 

examination of the beneficiary by the 

physician or treating practitioner, a 

written prescription, and receipt of 

pertinent parts of the medical record by 

the supplier within 45 days after the 

face-to-face examination that the 

durable medical equipment (DME) 

suppliers maintain in their records and 

make available to CMS and its agents 

upon request. Finally, this rule 

discusses CMS’ policy on 

documentation that may be requested by 

CMS and its agents to support a 

Medicare claim for payment. 

Since the implementation of 

regulation CMS–3017–F, there have 

been no new requirements that have 

necessitated changes to any burden. The 

change in total burden is attributable to 

an estimate of claims for PMD that were 

higher than the estimate of claims 

calculated for this PRA package. For 

example, last time CMS calculated 

burden estimates associated with this 

regulation to be 243,000 claims. For this 

package, CMS estimates that 240,325 

claims will be submitted for payment in 

2009. This translates into 48,065 hours 

instead of 48,600 hours, resulting in a 

difference of 535 hours less burden than 

originally estimated. 

Form Number: CMS–10116 (OMB 

#0938–0971); Frequency: Occasionally; 

Affected Public: Private Sector; Number 

of Respondents: 89,411; Total Annual 

Responses: 240,325; Total Annual 

Hours: 48,065. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Maria 

Ciccanti at 410–786–3107. For all other 

issues call 410–786–1326.)

Title: Evaluation of the Community 

Healthy Marriage Initiative—Impact 

Evaluation Wave 2. 

OMB No.: 0970–0322. 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 83 / Friday, May 1, 2009 / Notices 20319 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), is conducting a 

demonstration and evaluation called the 

Community Healthy Marriage Initiative 

(CHMI). Demonstration programs have 

been funded through Healthy Marriage 

and Responsible Fatherhood grants 

authorized under section 403(a)(2) of 

the Social Security Act to support 

healthy marriage directly and to 

encourage community changes that 

increase support for healthy marriages 

and improve child and family wellbeing. The objective of the evaluation is 

to: (1) Assess the implementation of 

community interventions designed to 

provide marriage education by 

examining the way the projects operate 

and by examining child support 

outcomes among low-income families in 

the community; and (2) evaluate the 

community impacts of these 

interventions on marital stability and 

satisfaction, child well-being and child 

support outcomes among low-income 

families. 

The purpose of this information 

collection is to conduct a follow-up 

survey of respondents from Wave 1 who 

live in the communities where CHMI 

demonstrations are operating, and a 

survey of CR141 program participants. 

The impact evaluation will assess the 

effects of community healthy marriage 

initiatives by comparing family and 

child well-being outcomes in the CR141 

communities with similar outcomes in 

comparison communities that are well 

matched to the demonstration project 

sites. 

Respondents: Community members 

and program participants in CHMI 

treatment and comparison communities.

Title: Summary Data Component, 

National Child Abuse and Neglect Data 

System (NCANDS). 

OMB No.: 0980–0229. 

Description: The Child Abuse and 

Neglect Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5101 

et seq.) as amended requires States to 

annually work with the Secretary to 

provide to the maximum extent 

practical, a report that includes 12 data 

items listed in the statute. The National 

Child Abuse and Neglect Data System 

(NCANDS), administered by the 

Children’s Bureau, meets this reporting 

requirement. In addition, the 

amendments of 1988 require that the 

data system shall be universal and case 

specific and integrated with other casebased foster care and adoption data 

collected by the Secretary. There are 

two data components, the Detailed Case 

Data Component (DCDC), which 

includes the case-level data submitted 

through the Child File and some 

aggregated data submitted through the 

Agency File, and the Summary Data 

component (SC), which is used by 

States that cannot submit case-level 

data. No changes are being requested. 

The Summary Data Component will be 

phased out over the next few years as 

the number of States that can complete 

the Child File increases. 

Respondents: State Child Welfare 

Agencies.
