Comments 

A 60-day Notice requesting public 

comment was published in the Federal 

Register on June 17, 2021 at Vol. 86, 

32249. This comment period ended 

August 17, 2021. A total of thirty-three 

comments were received. All comments 

were reviewed and considered. We are 

especially sensitive to comments 

regarding the consequences caused due 

to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will 

continue to provide clarity on the use of 

the Independent Living Survey and how 

it can be best used as a resource to 

demonstrate grant outcomes. 

Title of Collection: Application 

Package for AmeriCorps Seniors 

Applications Instructions, Progress 

Reporting, Independent Living and 

Respite Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 3045–0035. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Businesses and Organizations OR State, 

Local or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1,250. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 17,820. 

Abstract: The AmeriCorps Seniors 

Grant Application is for use by 

prospective and existing sponsors of 

AmeriCorps Senior projects under the 

AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (RSVP), 

AmeriCorps Seniors FGP (FGP), 

AmeriCorps Seniors (SCP), and 

AmeriCorps Seniors Senior 

Demonstration Program (SDP). The 

Project Progress Report, Project Progress 

Report Lite and Project Report 

Supplement will be used to report 

progress toward accomplishing work 

plan goals and objectives, reporting 

volunteer and service outputs, reporting 

actual outcomes related to selfnominated performance measures, 

meeting challenges encountered, 

describing significant activities, and 

requesting technical assistance. The 

Application Instructions and PPR, PPRLite, and PRS forms in this package 

conform to AmeriCorps’ web-based 

electronic grants management system, 

eGrants. The SCP Independent Living 

Survey and SCP Respite Survey are 

instruments that collect information 

from a sample of Senior Companion 

clients and caregivers. The purpose of 

the surveys is to assess the feasibility of 

conducting a longitudinal, quasiexperimental evaluation of the impact of 

independent living and respite services 

on clients’ social ties and perceived 

social support. The results of the 

surveys may also be used to inform the 

feasibility of using a similar instrument 

to measure client and caregiver 

outcomes for an evaluation of RSVP. 

AmeriCorps seeks to renew the current 

information collection. The revisions 

are intended to (1) provide additional 

clarity on existing guidance (Grant 

Application Instructions, Program 

Progress Report, and Respite and 

Independent Living survey) and seek 

additional information on populations 

served by AmeriCorps Seniors 

volunteers (Progress Report 

Supplement). The information 

collection will otherwise be used in the 

same manner as the existing 

application. AmeriCorps also seeks to 

continue using the current application 

until the revised application is 

approved by OMB. The current 

application is due to expire on 12/31/ 

2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An 

interim final rule published in the 

Federal Register (FR) on September 29, 

2017 (82 FR 45438–45461) established 

the requirement for the Director, 

Defense Health Agency, to provide a 

public notice to TRICARE program 

beneficiaries with a summary of changes 

to the TRICARE program each calendar 

year in connection with the open season 

enrollment period. 

The following changes or 

improvements to the TRICARE program 

benefits apply for calendar year 2022: 

Announcement of Open Season 

Open Season is an annual period 

when you can enroll in or make changes 

to your coverage for the next year. 

TRICARE and Federal Employee Dental 

and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) 

Open Season for Calendar Year (CY) 

2021 occurs November 8–December 13, 

2021. 

TRICARE Open Season: During 

TRICARE Open Season you can enroll 

in or change your TRICARE Prime or 

TRICARE Select plan. 

FEDVIP Open Season: FEDVIP Open 

Season is to enroll in or make changes 

to your dental and vision plans. Dental 

plans are offered by ten different 

carriers to eligible retirees and their 

family members and vision plans are 

offered by four different carriers to 

beneficiaries who have TRICARE 

coverage, including TRICARE for Life. 

Any changes you make will take effect 

on January 1, 2022. If you remain 

eligible and do not make any changes 

during Open Season, then you will stay 

in the same plan for 2022. Improving 

what’s covered: 

Coronavirus Disease 2022 (COVID–19) 

Response 

In regards to COVID–19 vaccination, 

although there is no separate copayment 

or cost-share for clinical preventive 

services, there may be a copayment, 

cost-share, or point of service (POS) 

charge if the vaccine is administered as 

part of a primary or specialty care visit 

for a reason other than preventive care 

or for other services received during the 

office visit. 

Due to the widespread need for 

COVID–19 vaccines and the possibility 

that one day these vaccines may not be 

free-of-charge, on February 23, 2021, a 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 10942) advising 

TRICARE Prime enrollees, not including 

Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs), 

of a temporary waiver to the referral 

requirement so they may receive 

COVID–19 vaccines, a clinical 

preventive service, from any TRICARE 

Basic (medical) program authorized 

non-network provider without incurring 

POS charges where applicable. The 

effective date of the waiver was 

December 13, 2020. This waiver will 

expire when the President of the United 

States (US) declares the national 

emergency is terminated. 

The following three temporary 

changes for care and treatment continue 

to be effective as of May 12, 2020, for 

care and treatment within the US and 

effective March 10, 2020, for the 

TRICARE Overseas Program: Temporary 

audio-only telephonic office visits; 

temporary waiver of cost-shares, co-pays 

and deductibles for all covered innetwork telehealth services (for Prime 

and Select beneficiaries); and temporary 

interstate and international licensing. 

These changes will expire when the 

President of the US declares the 

national emergency is terminated, 

unless terminated, extended, or 

otherwise modified in a final rule 

published to the Federal Register. 

Overseas termination date may vary 

from the US date and will be 

determined by the Assistant Secretary of 

Defense for Health Affairs. 

The following temporary changes 

were made and continue to be effective 

as of September 3, 2020, for care and 

treatment in the US and effective March 

10, 2020, for the TRICARE Overseas 

Program: Temporary coverage of the 

treatment use of investigational drugs 

under expanded access for the treatment 

of COVID–19 and temporary coverage of 

temporary hospitals. This change will 

expire when the President of the US 

declares the national emergency is 

terminated, unless terminated, 

extended, or otherwise modified in a 

final rule published to the Federal 

Register. 

Effective October 30, 2020, TRICARE 

temporarily covers National Institute for 

Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) 

sponsored clinical trials when for the 

treatment or prevention of COVID–19. 

This change will expire when the 

President of the US declares the 

national emergency has terminated, 

unless terminated, extended, or 

otherwise modified in a final rule 

published to the Federal Register. A 

TRICARE beneficiary who is already 

enrolled in a NIAID-sponsored clinical 

trial prior to the end of the President’s 

national emergency for COVID–19 will 

continue to have their care cost-shared 

through the end of the clinical trial. 

Effective January 1, 2021, Transitional 

Assistant Management Program benefits 

are extended to National Guard 

members who have served more than 

thirty continuous days in support of the 

COVID–19 mission. 

Screenings 

Effective March 9, 2021, the United 

States Preventive Services Task Force 

(USPSTF) updated its annual screening 

recommendation for lung cancer 

performed through low-dose computer 

tomography so it is now covered for 

adults beginning at age fifty to eighty 

who have a 20 pack-per year smoking 

history and currently smoke or have 

quit within the past fifteen years instead 

of beginning at age fifty-five and only 

for those with a 30 pack per year 

smoking history. 

Effective May 18, 2021, the USPSTF 

updated its annual screening 

recommendation for colorectal cancer 

for adults at average risk so they may 

now begin screening at age forty-five 

instead of beginning at age fifty. 

Demonstrations, Programs & Pilots 

Buckley Prime Service Area (PSA) 

Pilot. Health Net Federal Services 

launched a new value-based care pilot 

beginning January 1, 2021. Beneficiaries 

who live in the Buckley PSA and are 

enrolled in TRICARE Prime with a 

civilian primary care manager are 

automatically part of the pilot. The 

Buckley PSA Pilot is expected to run 

through December 31, 2022. 

Childbirth and Breastfeeding Support 

Demonstration. Congress required the 

Department of Defense (DoD) to conduct 

a demonstration project beginning no 

later than January 1, 2022, to cover the 

services of doulas and lactation 

consultants/counselors not otherwise 

authorized under TRICARE. This 

demonstration project will run for five 

years, through December 31, 2026. 

Planned Changes 

Urgent Care Referrals: There is no 

limit to the number of urgent care visits 

that a Prime beneficiary (except for most 

Active Duty members) may receive 

without a referral. You can receive 

urgent care from any TRICARE 

authorized urgent care center (UCC) or 

network provider. If the enrollee seeks 

care from a non-network provider 

(except a TRICARE-authorized UCC), 

the usual POS deductible and costshares shall apply. The Department has 

no current plans to change this policy 

but in order to evaluate its ongoing 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
52450 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Notices 

appropriateness, it remains a year-byyear determination. 

Prime Service Area Changes: There is 

no change to locations where TRICARE 

Prime will be offered. TRICARE Prime 

locations are a year-to-year 

determination and will be announced 

prior to the annual Open Season 

enrollment period. 

Enrollment Fee Payment by 

Allotment: TRICARE retirees and their 

family members must pay enrollment 

fees by allotment, where feasible. 

Payment by allotment is not required if 

a beneficiary does not receive retired 

pay (e.g., unremarried former spouses, 

survivors) or the retired pay does not 

cover the monthly enrollment fee 

amount. 

Effective December 17, 2020, Doctors 

of Podiatric Medicine or Podiatrists may 

prescribe physical therapy (PT) and 

occupational therapy (OT). 

Effective February 24, 2021, ablative 

fractional laser treatment for 

symptomatic scars resulting from burns 

and other trauma is covered for up to 

five-years. 

Added coverage of remote physiologic 

monitoring for chronic and acute 

conditions, including but not limited to 

weight, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, 

and respiratory flow monitoring. 

For more information, visit 

tricare.mil/changes or call your regional 

TRICARE contractor. 

Appendix A 

Certain beneficiary out-of-pocket costs 

(enrollment fees, premiums, catastrophic 

caps, deductibles, and copayments) are 

annually adjusted based on federal law and 

regulations, most notably by the annual 

retiree cost of living adjustment, or Cost of 

Living Adjustment (COLA). Currently, there 

is a difference in copayments between those 

who joined the military before January 1, 

2018, (Group A), and those who joined after 

that date (Group B). The retiree COLA will 

not be announced until mid-October 2021. 

As of June 2021, the projected COLA increase 

is 5.1 percent. Beneficiary out-of-pocket 

expenses impacted by the 2022 COLA will be 

posted to the tricare.mil/changes web page 

before the start of TRICARE Open Season, 

November 8, 2021 to December 13, 2021.
