Notice is hereby given that the 

National Institute of Allergy and 

Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a 

component of the National Institutes of 

Health (NIH) of the Department of 

Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

will convene a Blue Ribbon Panel to 

provide expertise in developing a 

strategic plan and research agenda for 

the discovery, development and clinical 

evaluation of adjuvants for use with 

preventive vaccines. NIAID has

of adjuvants for human vaccines that 

protect against infectious disease. The 

Panel will review the draft Strategic 

Plan and Research Agenda and

enhance its adjuvant research programs.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid

[Document Identifier: CMS–10319] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

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) 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 functions; 

(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: Pre-Existing 

Condition Insurance Plan Program 

Solicitation and Contractor’s Proposal 

Package; Use: The Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) is 

requesting a renewal of this package by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB); specifically, HHS is now seeking 

a three-year approval for this collection. 

On March 23, 2010, the President signed 

into law H.R. 3590, the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act 

(Affordable Care Act), Public Law 111– 

148. Section 1101 of the law establishes 

a ‘‘temporary high risk health insurance 

pool program’’ (which has been named 

the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance 

Plan, or PCIP) to provide health 

insurance coverage to currently 

uninsured individuals with pre-existing 

conditions. The law authorizes HHS to 

carry out the program directly or 

through contracts with States or private, 

non-profit entities. 

This package renewal is requested as 

a result of a possible transition in 

administration of the program from a 

Federally-run to a State administered 

program. A State who originally decided 

to have HHS administer the program in 

their State may in the future notify HHS 

of their desire to administer the PreExisting Condition Plan (PCIP) program. 

PCIP is also referred to as the temporary 

qualified high risk insurance pool 

program, as it is called in the Affordable 

Care Act, but we have adopted the term 

PCIP to better describe the program and 

avoid confusion with the existing State 

high risk pool programs. Form Number: 

CMS–10319 (OMB#: 0938–1085); 

Frequency: Occasionally; Affected 

Public: State governments; Number of 

Respondents: 2; Total Annual 

Responses: 2; Total Annual Hours: 

2,992. (For policy questions regarding 

this collection contact Laura Dash at 

301–492–4296. For all other issues call 

410–786–1326.)
