Possible Third Party Liability, Defense
Health Agency; DD Form 2527; OMB
Number 0720–0003.
Needs and Uses: This information
collection is completed by TRICARE
(formerly CHAMPUS) beneficiaries
suffering from personal injuries and
receiving medical care at Government
expense. The information is necessary
in the assertion of the Government’s
right to recovery under the Federal
Medical Care Recovery Act. The data is
used in the evaluation and processing of
these claims.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households; Federal Government.
Annual Burden Hours: 47,023.
Number of Respondents: 188,090.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 15
minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
The Federal Medical Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. 2651–2653 as implemented by
Executive Order No. 11060 and 28 CFR
part 43 provides for recovery of the
reasonable value of medical care
provided by the United States to a
person who is injured or suffers a
disease under circumstances creating
tort liability in a third person. DD Form
2527 is required for investigating and
asserting claims in favor of the United
States arising out of such incidents.
When a claim for TRICARE benefits is
identified as involving possible third
party liability and the information is not
submitted with the claim, the TRICARE
contractor requests that the injured
party (or a designee) complete DD Form
2527. To protect the interests of the
Government, the contractor suspends
claims processing until the requested
third party liability information is
received. The contractor conducts a
preliminary evaluation based upon the
collection of information and refers the
case to a designated appropriate legal
officer of the Uniformed Services. The
responsible Uniformed Services legal
officer uses the information as a basis
for asserting and settling the
Government’s claim. When appropriate,
the information is forwarded to the
Department of Justice as the basis for
litigation.
Section 1 of the Form is used to
collect general information, such as
name, address and telephone numbers
about the military sponsor and the
injured beneficiary and the date, time
and location where the injured
occurred.
Section 2 of the Form is used to
collect information about accidental
injuries. Most of the investigations for
third party liability involve motor
vehicle accidents. Information about
insurance coverage for the parties
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:53 Apr 22, 2015
Jkt 235001
involved in the accident is collected.
Section 2 of the Form is also used to
collect information about accidents not
involving motor vehicles. Information
such as the type of accident, the place
where the injury occurred, the name of
the property owner where the injury
occurred and cause of the injury is
collected. The name and address of the
employer is collected when the injury
was work related.
Section 3 of the Form is used for
miscellaneous information such as
possible medical treatment at a
Government hospital, the name and
address of the beneficiary’s attorney,
and information regarding any possible
releases or settlements with another
party to the accident. It also contains the
certification, date and signature of the
beneficiary (or a designee).
Dated: April 16, 2015.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The
Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP)
provides grants to eligible institutions of
higher education (IHEs) to help them
become self-sufficient and expand their
capacity to serve low-income students
by providing funds to improve and
strengthen the institution’s academic
quality, institutional management, and
fiscal stability.
Priority: This notice contains one
competitive preference priority. The
competitive preference priority is from
34 CFR 75.226.
Competitive Preference Priority: For
FY 2015 and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition, this priority is a
competitive preference priority. Under
34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i), we award three
additional points to an application that
meets this priority.
This priority is:
Competitive Preference Priority—
Supporting Strategies for which there is
Moderate Evidence of Effectiveness (3
additional points).
Projects that propose a process,
product, strategy, or practice supported
by moderate evidence of effectiveness
(as defined in this notice).
Note: Applicants seeking to address this
competitive preference priority should
identify a minimum of one up to a maximum
of two studies that support their proposed
project and meet the definition of ‘‘moderate
evidence of effectiveness.’’ Applicants
should clearly identify if they are addressing
the priority on the one-page abstract
submitted with the application. All cited
studies must also be submitted with the
application as a PDF. If the Department
determines that an applicant has provided
insufficient information, the applicant will
not have an opportunity to provide
additional information at a later time.
To qualify as moderate evidence of
effectiveness, among other things, a
study’s evaluation design must meet
What Works Clearinghouse (WWC)
Evidence Standards (as defined in this
notice). The What Works Clearinghouse
Procedures and Standards Handbook
describes in detail which types of study
designs can meet WWC Evidence
Standards with or without reservations
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
including both quasi-experimental
design studies and randomized
controlled trials (as defined in this
notice). The WWC review protocol for
individual studies in the postsecondary
education topic area, which describes
the specific types of outcomes,
populations, and other criteria that will
be used by the Department to determine
whether a study meets WWC Evidence
Standards, can be found at: https://
ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/pdf/reference_
resources/wwc_pe_protocol_v3.0.pdf.
Applicants may cite studies that (1)
have already been determined by the
Department to meet the WWC Evidence
Standards (e.g., studies listed in the
WWC-reviewed studies database or in
the WWC database under the
postsecondary topic area as having met
WWC standards with or without
reservations) or (2) have not yet been
reviewed by the Department but that the
applicant thinks will meet the WWC
Evidence Standards. In the case of
studies that have not yet been reviewed,
the Department will review the studies
to determine if they meet WWC
Evidence Standards, in accordance with
the procedures described under Review
and Selection Process in section IV of
this notice. In both cases, the studies
will be reviewed by the Department to
determine if they also meet the other
requirements of the definition for
‘‘moderate evidence of effectiveness.’’
In order to receive the three
additional points under this competitive
preference priority, applicants should
propose to implement the strategy from
their supporting study or studies as
closely as possible and describe in the
narrative response to this priority how
they will do so. Where modifications to
a cited strategy will be made to account
for student or institutional
characteristics, resource limitations, or
other special factors, the applicant
should provide a justification or basis
for the modifications in the narrative
response to this priority. Modifications
may not be proposed to the core aspects
of any cited strategy.
Definitions: These definitions are
from 34 CFR 77.1(c) and apply to the
priority in this notice.
Large sample means an analytic
sample of 350 or more students (or other
single analysis units), or 50 or more
groups (such as classrooms or schools)
that contain 10 or more students (or
other single analysis units).
Moderate evidence of effectiveness
means one of the following conditions
is met:
(i) There is at least one study of the
effectiveness of the process, product,
strategy, or practice being proposed that
meets the What Works Clearinghouse
