Proposed Project National Survey of Ambulatory Surgery (OMB No. 0920–0334)— Reinstatement—National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The National Survey of Ambulatory Surgery (NSAS) was previously conducted by the CDC National Center for Health Statistics from 1994 through 1996. It is the principal source of data on ambulatory surgery center (ASC) services in the United States. It complements surgery data obtained in the NCHS National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) OMB No. 0920–0212, which provides annual data concerning the nation’s use of inpatient medical and surgical care provided in short-stay, non-Federal hospitals. The NSAS is a national probability sample survey of ambulatory surgery visits in hospitals and freestanding ambulatory surgery centers. It has been the benchmark against which special programmatic data sources are compared. Data for the NSAS will be collected annually beginning in 2006 from a nationally representative sample of hospitals and freestanding ambulatory surgery centers. The hospital universe includes noninstitutional hospitals exclusive of Federal, military, and Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals located in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The universe of freestanding facilities includes the freestanding ambulatory surgery centers licensed by states and/or certified as ambulatory surgery centers for Medicare reimbursement. As in the earlier survey, facilities specializing in dentistry, podiatry, abortion, family planning or birthing will be excluded. As with previous years, the data items which are abstracted from medical records are the basic core variables from the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) as well as surgery times, total charges and information on anesthesia. There are no costs to respondents except for their time to participate in the survey.

Suitable sponsors may be parents, close relatives, friends or entities concerned with the child’s welfare. In this Notice, ACF announces that it proposes to employ the use of several information collections for recording: (1) The Sponsor’s Agreement to Conditions of Release, which collects the sponsor’s affirmation to the terms of the release; (2) the Verification of Release, which collects the children’s affirmation to the terms of their release; (3) the Family Reunification Packet, which collects information related to the sponsor’s ability to provide for the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of the child(ren) and (4) the Authorization for Release of Information, which collects information to be utilized for a background check. Respondents: Potential sponsors of unaccompanied alien children and unaccompanied alien children in Federal custody. Children and Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), is charged with the care and placement of unaccompanied alien children in Federal custody, and implementing a policy for the release of these children, when appropriate, upon the request of suitable sponsors while awaiting immigration proceedings. In order for ORR to make determinations regarding the release of these children, the potential sponsors must meet certain conditions pursuant to section 462 of the Homeland Security Act and the Flores v. Reno Settlement Agreement No. CV85–4544–RJK (C.D. Cal. 1997). ORR considers the suitability of a sponsor based on the sponsor’s ability and agreement to provide for the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of an unaccompanied minor and assurance to appear before immigration courts.
