Download as PDF wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 250 / Friday, December 30, 2005 / Notices serve as the basis for MHS performance guarantees. To meet these requirements, CMS has developed a performance monitoring system for MHS. This system includes measures of clinical performance that require the collection of clinical data from the medical records of a sample of Medicare beneficiaries. Medical record abstraction will be performed in two phases: The first, a pilot test, will take place after approximately six months of program operations, and the second, the full study. CMS will obtain active informed consent from the affected beneficiaries prior to reviewing medical records; Frequency: Reporting—Other: Only Once; Affected Public: Individuals or Households and Business or other forprofit; Number of Respondents: 26,643; Total Annual Responses: 26,643; Total Annual Hours: 12,416. 3. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare— Determining Third Party Liability (TPL) State Plan Preprint and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 433.138; Form Number: CMS–R–0107 (OMB#: 0938– 0502); Use: Medicaid beneficiaries frequently have third party resources which are legally obligated to pay medical claims before Medicaid pays. Section 42 CFR 433.138 requires State Medicaid agencies to take specific steps to identify third party resources and determine their legal liability to pay for services under the plan. The collection of TPL information results in significant program savings to the extent that liable third parties can be identified and payments can be made for services that would otherwise be paid for by the Medicaid program. The State Medicaid agencies are the primary users of the collected data. Whenever States identify third party resources, pertinent information is entered into the State’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). This enables the State to advise the provider to bill the third party and to seek reimbursement in situations where Medicaid TPL claims have been paid; Frequency: Recordkeeping—On occasion; Affected Public: Individuals or Households and Federal, State, Local and Tribal Government; Number of Respondents: 2,700,000; Total Annual Responses: 2,700,000; Total Annual Hours: 472,259. 4. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Request for Retirement Benefit Information (BBA ’97); Form Number: CMS–R–285 (OMB#: 0938–0769); Use: The Request for Retirement Benefit Information form VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:16 Dec 29, 2005 Jkt 208001 is used to obtain retirement benefit information from beneficiaries that purchase Medicare Part A coverage. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will use this information to determine if a beneficiary meets the requirements to qualify for a Medicare Part A premium reduction; Frequency: Reporting—On occasion; Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government; Number of Respondents: 1500; Total Annual Responses: 1500; Total Annual Hours: 375.

Mammography Quality Standards Act Final Regulations; Modifications and Additions to Policy Guidance Help System #9 The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) Final Regulations: Modifications and Additions to Policy Guidance Help System 9 provides guidance to mammography facilities and their personnel on a variety of issues involving the quality standards for mammography (§ 900.12 (21 CFR 900.12)). Use of the guidance results in new collections of information. Facilities are required to provide patients with lay summaries of the results of their mammography examinations (§ 900.12(c)(2)). This guidance document provides information on how to address a patient’s refusal to receive a lay summary and recommends that the facility document why it was unable to meet this requirement. Additionally, the guidance addresses interpreting physician initial requirements (§ 900.12(a)(1)(i)(B)(2)), including recommendations on how to document the alternative to Board Certification for foreign-trained physicians. The likely respondents are mammography facilities and their personnel who are subject to the MQSA quality standards requirements. In the Federal Register of July 15, 2005 (70 FR 41043), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting comments on the information collection provisions. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 Activity Number of Respondents Annual Frequency of Response 915 1 Reporting of refusal of lay summary 1There Total Annual Responses Hours per Response 915 Total Hours 0.5 458 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

We also estimate that the facility will spend 0.5 hours per patient obtaining the patient’s written request, filing that form in the patient’s record and forwarding the summary to the patient’s designee. With respect to foreign-trained physicians, past experience indicates that this situation arises very infrequently. We estimate that only 1 percent of MQSA-certified facilities will have to maintain records documenting the qualifications of foreign-trained physicians. Dated: December 22, 2005.

Mammography Quality Standards Act Final Regulations; Modifications and 
Additions to Policy Guidance Help System 9

    The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) Final Regulations: 
Modifications and Additions to Policy Guidance Help System 9 provides 
guidance to mammography facilities and their personnel on a variety of 
issues involving the quality standards for mammography (Sec.  900.12 
(21 CFR 900.12)). Use of the guidance results in new collections of 
information. Facilities are required to provide patients with lay 
summaries of the results of their mammography examinations (Sec.  
900.12(c)(2)). This guidance document provides information on how to 
address a patient's refusal to receive a lay summary and recommends 
that the facility document why it was unable to meet this requirement. 
Additionally, the guidance addresses interpreting physician initial 
requirements (Sec.  900.12(a)(1)(i)(B)(2)), including recommendations 
on how to document the alternative to Board Certification for foreign-
trained physicians.
    The likely respondents are mammography facilities and their 
personnel who are subject to the MQSA quality standards requirements.
    In the Federal Register of July 15, 2005 (70 FR 41043), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting comments on the information 
collection provisions. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    There are a total of 9,150 MQSA-certified facilities. Using past 
experience, FDA estimates that 10 percent of these facilities will 
receive patient requests that lay summary results not be sent. We also 
estimate that the facility will spend 0.5 hours per patient obtaining 
the patient's written request, filing that form in the patient's record 
and forwarding the summary to the patient's designee. With respect to 
foreign-trained physicians, past experience indicates that this 
situation arises very infrequently. We estimate that only 1 percent of 
MQSA-certified facilities will have to maintain records documenting the 
qualifications of foreign-trained physicians.

    Dated: December 22, 2005.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
