The proposed study represents the first formal effort to evaluate the effectiveness and cost implications of the SAIFE program as implemented in North Carolina. The data collected in this study will have the potential to impact other smoke alarm installation programs, as well as indicate future priorities in prevention and preparedness for residential fires. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 251.

ACTION: Notice of a New System of Records (SOR). AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new SOR titled, ‘‘Organ Procurement Organizations System (OPOS), System No. 09–70–0575.’’ The Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) Certification Act of 2000 (§ 701 of Pub. L. 106–505) directs the Secretary of HHS to establish regulations that provide the statutory qualifications and requirements that an OPO must meet in order for organ procurement costs to be reimbursed under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. As part of the efficient administration of this program, CMS is charged with the responsibility to conduct investigations, analysis, and reporting of adverse events that are described as an untoward, undesirable, and unanticipated event that causes death or serious injury. At this time, individually-identifiable data is only requested from OPOs under two circumstances: (1) Due to the suspicion that an infectious disease has been PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 425 360 36 Average burden per response (in hours). No. of responses per respondent 1 2 1 5/60 15/60 1 transmitted to a recipient; and (2) when there has been a complaint alleged against an OPO. CMS regional office survey and certification staff would request individually-identifiable data to complete the investigation. Due to certain investigatory activities related to this system, CMS proposes to exempt this system from the notification, access, correction and amendment provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. The purpose of this system is to collect and maintain individually identifiable information pertaining to complaint allegations filed by a complainant, beneficiary, or providers of services made against OPOs, information gathered during the complaint investigation, findings and results of the investigation, and correspondence relating to the outcome of the investigation. Information retrieved from this system will also be disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, reimbursement, and policy functions performed within the agency, or by a contractor, consultant or grantee; (2) assist another Federal or state agency in the enforcement of OPO regulations where sharing the information is necessary to complete the processing of a complaint, contribute to the accuracy of CMS’s proper payment of Medicare benefits, and/or enable such agency to administer a Federal health benefits program; (3) support constituent requests made to a Congressional representative; and (4) support litigation involving the agency. We have provided background information about the modified 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 Dates’’ section for comment period. Effective Date: CMS filed a new SOR report with the Chair of the House DATES: E:\FR\FM\22MYN1.SGM 22MYN1
