Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting 

Requirements Under Emergency 

Review by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) 

Title: Application for the Emergency 

Fund for TANF Programs. 

OMB No.: New. 

Description: On February 17, 2009, 

the President signed the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(Recovery Act), which establishes the 

Emergency Contingency Fund for State 

TANF Programs (Emergency Fund) as 

section 403(c) of the Social Security Act 

(the Act). This legislation provides up to 

$5 billion to help States, Territories, and 

Tribes in fiscal year (FY) 2009 and FY 

2010 that have an increase in assistance 

caseloads or in certain types of 

expenditures. The Recovery Act made 

additional changes to TANF—extending 

supplemental grants through FY 2010, 

expanding flexibility in the use of TANF 

funds carried over from one fiscal year 

to the next, and adding a hold-harmless 

provision to the caseload reduction 

credit for States and Territories serving 

more TANF families. 

The Emergency Fund is intended to 

build upon and renew the principles of 

work and responsibility that underlie 

successful welfare reform initiatives. 

The Emergency Fund provides 

resources to States, Territories, and 

Tribes to support work and families 

during this difficult economic period. 

We plan to issue a Program 

Instruction accompanied by the 

Emergency Fund Request Form (OFA– 

100), and instructions for jurisdictions 

to complete the OFA–100 to apply for 

emergency funds. 

Failure to collect this data would 

compromise ACF’s ability to monitor 

caseload and expenditure data that must 

increase in order for jurisdictions to 

receive awards under the Emergency 

Fund. 

Documentation maintenance on 

financial reporting for the Emergency 

Fund is governed by 45 CFR 92.20 and 

45 CFR 92.42. 

Respondents: State, Territory, and 

Tribal agencies administering the 

Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF) Program that are 

applying for the Emergency Fund.

Emergency Fund Request Form OFA–100 ..................................................... 93 5 24 11,160

There are 116 eligible jurisdictions 

(50 States, 3 Territories, 62 Tribes, and 

Washington, DC), and we anticipate that 

80 percent of eligible respondents will 

submit applications for an average of 93 

respondents per year. 

Respondents only need to submit 

quarterly data if they are applying for 

new funds or revising previous 

submissions. We do not expect all 

respondents to submit quarterly, so the 

number of responses per respondent is 

an overestimate. We anticipate that the 

submittal process will take eight hours 

per respondent request per quarter and 

eight hours for reconciliation. 

Respondents will average five responses 

per year for a total annual burden of 

3,720 hours. 

Additional Information: 

ACF is requesting that OMB grant a 

90-day approval for this information 

collection under procedures for 

emergency processing by June 24, 2009. 

A copy of this draft information 

collection, with applicable supporting 

documentation, may be obtained by 

calling the Administration for Children 

and Families, Reports Clearance Officer, 

Robert Sargis at (202) 690–7275.

information collection described above 

should be directed to the Office of

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: Revision of the currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: New Enrollee 

Survey; Use: The New Enrollee survey 

was developed to gather information 

from newly enrolled Medicare 

beneficiaries about their Medicare 

knowledge and needs. CMS is seeking 

understanding about what types of 

information new enrollees need and 

what they know about Medicare. 

Included in the survey are questions 

regarding how well informed new 

enrollees are about Medicare and what 

information they have received about 

the Medicare program. Information 

gathered in this survey will be used 

only for purposes of targeting and 

improving communications with newly 

eligible Medicare beneficiaries. Form 

Number: CMS–10050 (OMB#: 0938– 

0869); Frequency: Reporting—Quarterly; 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households; Number of Respondents: 

1200; Total Annual Responses: 1200; 

Total Annual Hours: 300. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Renee Clark at 410–786–0006. 

For all other issues call 410–786–1326.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of the currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Collection of 

Drug Event Data From Contracted Part D 

Providers For Payment; Use: In 

December 2003, Congress enacted the 

Medicare Prescription Drug, 

Improvement, and Modernization Act of 

2003 referred to as the Medicare 

Modernization Act (MMA). The 

Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit 

program (Part D) was established by 

section 101 of the MMA and is codified 

in section 1860D–1 through 1860 D–41 

of the Social Security Act. Effective 

January 1, 2006, the Part D program 

establishes an optional prescription 

drug benefit for individuals who are 

entitled to Medicare Part A and/or 

enrolled in Part B. Part D plans have 

flexibility in terms of benefit design. 

This flexibility includes, but is not 

limited to, authority to establish a 

formulary that limits coverage to 

specific drugs within each therapeutic 

class of drugs, and the ability to have a 

cost-sharing structure other than the 

statutorily defined structure (subject to 

certain actuarial tests). Coverage under 

the new prescription drug benefit is 

provided predominately through private 

at-risk prescription drug plans that offer 

drug-only coverage (PDPs), Medicare 

Advantage (MA) plans that offer 

integrated prescription drug and health 

care coverage (MA–PD plans) or Cost 

Plans that offer prescription drug 

benefits. 

The transmission of the data will be 

in an electronic format. The information 

users will be Pharmacy Benefit 

Managers (PBM), third party 

administrators and pharmacies and the 

PDPs, MA–PDs, Fallbacks and other 

plans that offer coverage of outpatient 

prescription drugs under the Medicare 

Part D benefit to Medicare beneficiaries. 

The data is used primarily for payment, 

and is used for claim validation as well 

as for other legislated functions such as 

quality monitoring, program integrity 

and oversight. Form Number: CMS– 

10174 (OMB#: 0938–0982); Frequency: 

Reporting—Monthly; Affected Public: 

Business or other for-profits and Notfor-profit institutions; Number of 

Respondents: 747; Total Annual 

Responses: 947,881,770; Total Annual 

Hours: 1896. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Bobbie 

Knickman at 410–786–4161. For all 

other issues call 410–786–1326.)
