In December 2000, the President
delegated responsibility for funding,
staffing, and operating the Board to
HHS, which subsequently delegated this
authority to the CDC. NIOSH
implements this responsibility for CDC.
The charter was issued on August 3,
2001, renewed at appropriate intervals,

for this program; and (c) upon request
by the Secretary, HHS, advise the
Secretary on whether there is a class of
employees at any Department of Energy
facility who were exposed to radiation
but for whom it is not feasible to
estimate their radiation dose, and on
whether there is reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of
this class.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda
for the Subcommittee meeting includes
Y–12 and Rocky Flats Site Profiles;
Procedures Review Update; Selection of
5th and 6th Round of Individual Dose
Reconstructions; and Individual Dose

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services; Privacy Act of 1974; Report
of a Modified or Altered System
Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
ACTION: Notice of a Modified or Altered
System of Records (SOR).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
we are proposing to modify or alter an
existing SOR, ‘‘Medicare Provider
Analysis and Review (MEDPAR),
System No. 09–70–0009.’’ Notice for
this system was published at 65 Federal
Register (FR) 50548 (August 18, 2000).
CMS is reorganizing its databases
because of the impact of the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA)
(Public Law (Pub. L.) 108–173)
provisions and the large volume of
information the Agency collects to
administer the Medicare program. We
propose to assign a new CMS
identification number to this system to
simplify the obsolete and confusing
numbering system originally designed
to identify the Bureau, Office, or Center
that maintained the system. The new
assigned identifying number for this
system should read: System No. 09–70–
0514.
We propose to establish a new routine
use to provide disclosure of data to
hospitals that may be entitled to
disproportionate share hospital
payments. This new routine use will
implement the disclosure provisions of
Section 951 of the MMA. Section 951
will provide hospitals with a data set
that will span the 2 Federal Fiscal Years
that encompass the hospital’s cost
reporting period. This modification will
carry out the purposes of the MEDPAR
