Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New System of Records
Document Number: 05-22657
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-11-16
Agency: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health and Human Services
In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we propose to create a new system of records titled, ``Medicare True Out-of-Pocket (TrOOP) Expenditures System,'' HHS/CMS/OIS, System No. 09-70-0557. The TrOOP facilitation process is mandated by the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program enacted into law December 8, 2003 under provisions of Section 101 of Title 1 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108-173). MMA amends Title XVIII, Section 1860D of the Social Security Act (the Act). Section 1860D-2 of the Act requires the tracking of beneficiaries' TrOOP expenditures. TrOOP costs are treated as ``incurred'' only if they were paid by the individual (or by another person, such as a family member, on behalf of the individual), paid on behalf of a low-income subsidy-eligible individual under the Sec. 1860D-14 provisions, or paid under a State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program (SPAP) as defined in Sec. 1860D-23. Section 1860D- 2(b)(4)(D)(i) of the MMA authorizes CMS to establish procedures for determining whether costs for Part D enrollees are being reimbursed by excluded payers and alerting Part D plans about the existence of such payers. The purpose of this system is to collect and maintain a master file to establish a ``TrOOP'' facilitation process, maintain information on individuals and entities that make payments on covered drugs under the Medicare Part D Program, and coordinate TrOOP relevant data from State Pharmaceutical Programs (SPAPs) and other health insurers. Information retrieved from this system may be disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, reimbursement, and policy functions performed within the agency or by a contractor, grantee, consultant or other legal agent; (2) support Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) and Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans (MAPD) directly or through a CMS contractor for the administration of Title XVIII of the Act; (3) assist another Federal or state agency with information to enable such agency to administer a Federal health benefits program, or to enable such agency to fulfill a requirement of Federal statute or regulation that implements a health benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds; (4) assist Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) in connection with review of claims; (5) assist insurance companies and other groups providing protection against medical expenses of their enrollees; (6) assist an individual or organization engaged in the performance activities of the demonstration or in a research project or in support of an evaluation project related to the prevention of disease or disability, the restoration or maintenance of health, or payment related projects; (7) support constituent requests made to a congressional representative; (8) support litigation involving the agency; and (9) combat fraud and abuse in certain health benefits programs. We have provided background information about the new system in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that CMS provide an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the proposed routine uses, CMS invites comments on all portions of this notice. See EFFECTIVE DATE section for comment period.

Document Number: 05-22639
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-11-16
Agency: Department of Justice
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Department of Justice (DOJ), Tax Division, proposes to modify the following systems of records, ``Tax Division Central Classification Cards, Index Docket Cards, and Associated RecordsCriminal Tax Cases, Justice/TAX-001,'' previously published in full on February 20, 1998, (63 FR 8659) and amended on March 29, 2001 (66 FR 17200); ``Tax Division Central Classification Cards, Index Docket Cards, and Associated RecordsCivil Tax Cases, Justice/TAX-002,'' previously published in full on February 20, 1998, (63 FR 8659) and amended on March 29, 2001 (66 FR 17200) ; ``Files of Applications for Attorney with the Tax Division, Justice/TAX-003,'' previously published on September 30, 1977, (42 FR 53390); and to eliminate the system of records, ``Tax Division Special Projects File, Justice/TAX-005,'' previously published on September 30, 1977 (42 FR 53391). Specifically, the proposed Justice/TAX-001 modifications are intended to change the system name; to disclose additional details as to what data is kept in paper-based files and in electronic-based files; to provide additional details as to how access to confidential taxpayer-related information and tax enforcement-related information is managed; to expand the categories of routine uses; to clarify the policies and practices through which the Justice/TAX-001 records are stored and retrieved; and to reflect the adoption of an electronic timekeeping function for Tax Division staff. The proposed Justice/TAX-002 modifications are intended to change the system name; to disclose additional details as to what data is kept in paper-based files and in electronic-based files; to provide additional details as to how access to confidential taxpayer-related information and tax enforcement-related information is managed; to expand the categories of routine uses; and to reflect the adoption of an electronic timekeeping function for Tax Division staff. The proposed Justice/TAX-003 modifications are intended to change the system name, to include non-attorney applications; to disclose additional details as to what type of applicant information is maintained; and to show how access to applicant information is managed. Exemptions from the Privacy Act are claimed for this system of records and a separate Proposed Rule is included for publication in the Federal Register. The proposed deletion of Justice/TAX-005 is intended to eliminate a redundancy: many elements of Justice/TAX-005 system descriptions and the basis for its descriptionscriminal tax enforcementare shared by Justice/TAX-001. Accordingly, the Tax Division believes it is appropriate to add the ``Special Projects'' to the Justice/TAX-001 system name, to incorporate the relevant elements of Justice/TAX-005 into Justice/TAX-001, and to delete Justice/TAX-005 on the effective date of the revised system notice for Justice/TAX-001. Title 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11) provides that the public must be given thirty days in which to comment on proposed new routine use disclosures and other changes as noted above. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which has oversight responsibilities under the Act, requires forty days to conclude its review of proposed changes to the current Tax Division Systems of Records embodied in Justice/TAX-001, Justice/TAX-002, and Justice/TAX-003.

For certain other airplanes, this AD requires a one-time detailed inspection for discrepancies of the wires behind the P15 refuel panel; and corrective and related investigative actions if necessary. This AD is prompted by evidence of chafed wiring behind the P15 refuel panel and arcing to the back of the P15 refuel panel and adjacent wing structure. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct chafing of the wiring behind the P15 refuel panel, which could lead to arcing and fire with consequent airplane damage and injury to refueling personnel.
Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F27 Mark 050 Airplanes
Document Number: 05-22589
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-11-16
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Fokker Model F27 Mark 050 airplanes. This AD requires a one-time inspection of the bleed air supply ducts to determine if blanking plugs are present and a one-time inspection of the entire area of the engine nacelle for heat damage; and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also requires replacement of the blanking plugs with clamping devices. This AD results from heat damage in areas adjacent to the bleed air supply duct assembly. We are issuing this AD to prevent rupture of the bleed air supply duct, which could lead to hot bleed air leaking into the engine controls area and result in heat damage to control cables, electrical wiring, hydraulic components, and fuel lines, and consequent fire.

Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
By letter dated July 6, 2004, Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) enter into an Agreement with the State as authorized by section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (Act). Under the proposed Agreement, the Commission would discontinue, and Minnesota would assume, portions of the Commission's regulatory authority exercised within the State. As required by the Act, NRC is publishing the proposed Agreement for public comment. NRC is also publishing the summary of a Draft Staff Assessment of the Minnesota Program. Comments are requested on the proposed Agreement and the NRC Draft Staff Assessment which finds the Program adequate to protect public health and safety and compatible with NRC's program for regulation of agreement material. The proposed Agreement would release (exempt) persons who possess or use certain radioactive materials in Minnesota from portions of the Commission's regulatory authority. The Act requires that NRC publish those exemptions. Notice is hereby given that the pertinent exemptions have been previously published in the Federal Register and are codified in the Commission's regulations as 10 CFR part 150.
