Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 178 / Friday, September 12, 2008 / Notices 53025 

B. Final Payments 

64. Each winning bidder will be 

required to submit the balance of the net 

amount of its winning bids within 10 

business days after the applicable 

deadline for submitting down payments. 

C. Long-Form Application 

65. Within thirty days after the release 

of the auction closing notice, winning 

bidders must submit electronically a 

properly completed long-form 

application (FCC Forms 301–CA or 346), 

and required exhibits for each 

construction permit won through 

Auction 85. A winning bidder claiming 

new entrant status must include an 

exhibit demonstrating its eligibility for 

the bidding credit. Further filing 

instructions will be provided to auction 

winners at the close of the auction. 

D. Default and Disqualification 

66. Any winning bidder that defaults 

or is disqualified after the close of the 

auction (i.e., fails to remit the required 

down payment within the prescribed 

period of time, fails to submit a timely 

long-form application, fails to make full 

final payment within the prescribed 

period of time, or is otherwise 

disqualified) will be subject to the 

payments described in 47 CFR 

1.2104(g)(2). The payments include both 

a deficiency payment, equal to the 

difference between the amount of the 

bidder’s bid and the amount of the 

winning bid the next time a 

construction permit covering the same 

spectrum is won in an auction, plus an 

additional payment equal to a 

percentage of the defaulter’s bid or of 

the subsequent winning bid, whichever 

is less. 

67. The percentage of the applicable 

bid to be assessed as an additional 

payment for defaults in a particular 

auction is established in advance of the 

auction. The Bureaus have set the 

additional default payment for this 

auction at twenty percent (20%) of the 

applicable bid. 

68. Finally, in the event of a default, 

the Commission may re-auction the 

construction permit or offer it to the 

next highest bidder (in descending 

order) at its final bid amount. In 

addition, if a default or disqualification 

involves gross misconduct, 

misrepresentation, or bad faith by an 

applicant, the Commission may declare 

the applicant and its principals 

ineligible to bid in future auctions, and 

may take any other action that it deems 

necessary, including institution of 

proceedings to revoke any existing 

authorizations held by the applicant. 

E. Refund of Remaining Upfront 

Payment Balance 

69. All applicants that submit upfront 

payments but after the close of the 

auction are not winning bidders for a 

construction permit in Auction 85 may 

be entitled to a refund of their 

remaining upfront payment balance 

after the conclusion of the auction. All 

refunds will be returned to the payor of 

record, as identified on the FCC Form 

159, unless the payor submits written 

authorization instructing otherwise. 

70. Bidders that drop out of the 

auction completely may be eligible for 

a refund of their upfront payments 

before the close of the auction. Qualified 

bidders that have exhausted all of their 

activity rule waivers and have no 

remaining bidding eligibility may also 

be eligible for a refund of their upfront 

payment before the close of the auction.

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: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Evaluation of 

the Home Health Pay for Performance 

Demonstration: Survey instrument; Use: 

The Home Health Pay for Performance 

Demonstration is part of a change by 

CMS toward performance-based 

purchasing for a variety of provider 

types. By providing financial incentives 

for achieving high levels of performance 

on standardized quality measures, CMS 

hopes to encourage health care 

providers to improve the quality of care 

provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The 

Home Health Pay for Performance 

Demonstration (HHP4PD) relies on the 

voluntary participation by home health 

agencies within several States, with 

random assignment of participating 

agencies to treatment or control groups 

within each State, where the control 

group will not be eligible for incentive 

payments. These two groups form the 

primary comparison for determining if 

the HHP4PD was effective in creating 

improved, targeted outcomes for 

patients served by home health 

agencies. The information collected will 

be used as part of the evaluation of the 

Home Health Pay for Performance 

Demonstration sponsored by CMS. Form 

Number: CMS–10270 (OMB# 0938— 

New); Frequency: Once; Affected Public: 

Business or other for-profits and not-forprofit institutions; Number of 

Respondents: 570; Total Annual 

Responses: 570; Total Annual Hours: 

285. 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Medicare 

Demonstration Ambulatory Care Quality 

Measure Performance Assessment Tool 

(‘‘PAT’’); Use: CMS is requesting an 

extension of the currently approved tool 

for the collection of ambulatory care 

clinical performance measure data. The 

data will be used to continue 

implementation of two Congressionally 

mandated demonstration projects (the 

Physician Group Practice (PGP) 

Demonstration and the Medicare Care 

Management Performance (MCMP) 

Demonstration) and, starting in 2011, 

support data collection under the new 

Electronic Health Records (EHR) 

Demonstration. Each of these 

demonstrations, test new payment 

methods for improving the quality and 

efficiency of health care services 

delivered to Medicare fee-for-service 

beneficiaries, especially those with 

chronic conditions that account for a 

disproportionate share of Medicare 

expenditures. In addition, the MCMP 

and EHR demonstration specifically 

encourage the adoption of electronic 

health records systems as a vehicle for 

improving how health care is delivered. 

The changes in the estimated burden 

between this submission and the 

original submission are due to the 

following changes: Combining the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

application for the PGP and MCMP 

demonstrations into a single ICR 

application. Reduction in the number of 

practices participating in the MCMP 

Demonstration. An increase in the 

estimated cost per hour (salary + fringe) 

for collecting the data. The 

implementation of the new EHR 

Demonstration which will begin 

collecting clinical quality data starting 

in 2011 with 400 Phase I practices. Form 

Number: CMS–10136 (OMB# 0938– 

0941); Frequency: Yearly; Affected 

Public: Business or other for-profits and 

not-for-profit institutions; Number of 

Respondents: 1,060; Total Annual 

Responses: 1,060; Total Annual Hours: 

25,990. 

3. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Consolidated 

Renal Operations in a Web Enabled 

Network (CROWNWeb) Third-party 

Submission Authorization Form; Use: 

The Consolidated Renal Operations in a 

Web Enabled Network (CROWNWeb) 

Third-Party Submission Authorization 

form is to be completed by ‘‘Facility 

Administrators’’ (administrators of 

CMS-certified dialysis facilities) if they 

intend to authorize a third party (a 

business with which the facility is 

associated, or an independent vendor) 

to submit data to CMS to comply with 

the recently-revised Conditions for 

Coverage of dialysis facilities. The 

CROWNWeb system is the system used 

as the collection point of data necessary 

for entitlement of ESRD patients to 

Medicare benefits and for Federal 

Government monitoring and assessing 

of the quality and types of care provided 

to renal patients. The information 

collected through the CWTPSA form 

will allow CMS and its contractors to 

receive data from authorized parties 

acting on behalf of CMS-certified 

dialysis facilities. CMS anticipates that 

roughly 3,000 signed forms will be 

received by February 2009, and that the 

total number of forms may reach 5,100 

by February 2012. Form Number: CMS– 

10266 (OMB# 0938—New); Frequency: 

Monthly; Affected Public: Business or 

other for-profits and not-for-profit 

institutions; Number of Respondents: 

5,100; Total Annual Responses: 5,100; 

Total Annual Hours: 425. 

4. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Medicare 

Enrollment Application; Form Number: 

CMS–855 (A, B, I, R) (OMB#: 0938– 

0685); Use: The primary function of the 

Medicare enrollment application is to 

gather information from a provider or 

supplier that tells us who it is, whether 

it meets certain qualifications to be a 

health care provider or supplier, where 

it practices or renders its services, the 

identity of the owners of the enrolling 

entity, and information necessary to 

establish correct claims payments. We 

are revising this currently approved 

information collection. The goal of the 

revisions to this information collection 

request (ICR) is to adjust the burden 

associated with this ICR to account for 

the removal of the CMS–855(S) 

application. Frequency: Recordkeeping
