BILLING CODE 4163–19–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services 

Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New 

System of Records 

AGENCY: Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS), Center for 

Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). 

ACTION: Notice of a New System of 

Records (SOR). 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

we are proposing to create a new system 

titled, ‘‘Cancer Prevention and 

Treatment Demonstration for Ethnic and 

Racial Minorities (CPTD) System, 

System No. 09–70–0560.’’ Section 122 

of the Medicare, Medicaid, and State 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(SCHIP) Benefits Improvement and 

Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA) (Public 

Law (Pub. L.) 106–554) grants CMS the 

authority to award at least nine 

cooperative agreement demonstration 

projects that will identify methods to 

reduce disparities in early cancer 

screening, diagnosis, and treatment for 

Black, Hispanic, Asian American and 

Pacific Islander, and American Indian 

(including Alaskan Native, Eskimo, and 

Aleut) Medicare beneficiary 

populations. Demonstration sites will 

use the best available scientific evidence 

to identify promising models of cancer 

screening, diagnosis and treatment 

interventions to promote health and 

appropriate utilization of Medicare 

covered services, eliminate disparities 

in cancer detection and treatment 

among ethnic and racial populations of 

Medicare beneficiaries, and provide 

information to improve the effectiveness 

of the Medicare program. 

The purpose of this system is to 

collect and maintain demographic and 

cancer health-related data on Medicare 

target population beneficiaries who 

voluntarily enroll in the CPTD Project 

for Ethnic and Racial Minorities. This 

system will enable CMS to enroll 

eligible participants in the 

demonstration project; randomize 

participants into intervention and 

control groups; reimburse 

demonstration site service claims; and 

develop, maintain and analyze/evaluate 

research information showing the 

potential impact of providing cancer 

screening, diagnosis and treatment 

facilitation services to underserved 

Medicare beneficiaries. Information 

retrieved from this system may be 

disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, 

reimbursement, and policy functions 

performed within the agency or by a 

contractor, grantee, consultant or other 

legal agent; (2) assist another Federal or 

state agency with information to enable 

such agency to administer a Federal 

health benefits program, or to enable 

such agency to fulfill a requirement of 

Federal statute or regulation that 

implements a health benefits program 

funded in whole or in part with Federal 

funds; (3) assist an individual or 

organization engaged in the 

performance activities of the 

demonstration or in a research project or 

in support of an evaluation project 

related to the prevention of disease or 

disability, the restoration or 

maintenance of health, or payment 

related projects; (4) support constituent 

requests made to a congressional 

representative; (5) support litigation 

involving the agency; and (6) combat 

fraud and abuse in certain health 

benefits programs. We have provided 

background information about the new 

system in the SUPPLEMENTARY
