other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
We are, however, requesting an
emergency review of the information
collection referenced below. In
compliance with the requirement of
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we have
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) the following
requirements for emergency review. We
are requesting an emergency review
because the collection of this
information is needed before the
expiration of the normal time limits
under OMB’s regulations at 5 CFR part
1320. If these events do not occur
according to the statutorily mandated
timeline, other statutory requirements
will not be able to be met. Section
6001(c) of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005 (DRA) requires CMS and the Office
of Inspector General to analyze and, if
appropriate, redefine the Average
Manufacturer Price (AMP). We have
determined that this information
collection is needed because we do not
currently collect the necessary data
needed to perform the AMP data
analysis as mandated by the DRA.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: Voluntary
Sample Average Manufacturer Price
(AMP) Collection; Use: Section 1927 of
the Social Security Act requires each
participating drug manufacturer to
report quarterly product and pricing
information to CMS. The DRA modified
parts of Section 1927 to require that
AMP be analyzed and redefined; Form
Number: CMS–10205 (OMB#: 0938NEW); Frequency: Reporting—As
needed; Affected Public: Business or
other for-profit; Number of
Respondents: 550; Total Annual
Responses: 550; Total Annual Hours:
11,000.
CMS is requesting OMB review and
approval of this collection by July 31,
2006, with a 180-day approval period.
Written comments and recommendation
will be considered from the public if
received by the individuals designated
below by July 29, 2006.
To obtain copies of the supporting
statement and any related forms for the
proposed paperwork collections
referenced above, access CMS’ Web Site
address at https://www.cms.hhs.gov/
regulations/pra or E-mail your request,
including your address, phone number,
OMB number, and CMS document
identifier, to Paperwork@cms.hhs.gov,
or call the Reports Clearance Office on
(410) 786–1326.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding the burden or any
other aspect of these collections of
information requirements. However, as
noted above, comments on these
information collection and
recordkeeping requirements must be
mailed and/or faxed to the designees
referenced below by July 29, 2006:

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects
Title: Early Head Start Research and
Evaluation Project: 5th Grade FollowUp.
OMB No.: 0970–0143.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is requesting comments
on plans to collect 5th-grade follow-up
data on children recruited into the Early
Head Start Research and Evaluation
study. This study is being conducted to
assess children and families when the
children in the study will be 5th graders
or attending the 6th year of their formal
schooling. Because of the way children
and families were initially recruited for
the study, it will take three years to
collect 5th-grade data from the full
sample of children. About 30 percent of
the sample will be 5th graders in spring
2007, 50 percent in spring 2008, and 20
percent in spring 2009. Data will be
collected on a sample of approximately
1,900 children and families across all 17
of the Early Head Start research sites.
Data collection will include a child
assessment and a child interview, an
interview with the child’s primary
caregiver (usually the child’s mother),
videotaping of mother-child interactions
and a set of home observations, and a
questionnaire to be completed by the
child’s 5th-grade teacher.
This data collection is necessitated by
the mandates of the 1998
reauthorization of Head Start (Head
Start Act, as amended, October 27, 1998,
Section 649(d) and (e)).
Respondents: Individuals or
households.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended by
Pub. L. 100–503, the Computer
Matching and Privacy Protection Act of
1988, we are publishing a notice of a
computer matching program. The
purpose of this computer match is to
identify specific individuals who are
receiving benefits from the VA and also
receiving payments pursuant to various
benefit programs administered by both
HHS and Department of Agriculture.
ACF will facilitate this program on
behalf of the State Public Assistance
Agencies (SPAAs) that participate in the
Public Assistance Reporting Information
System (PARIS) for verification of
continued eligibility for public
assistance. The match will utilize
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
records and SPAA records.
DATES: ACF will file a report of the
subject matching program with the
Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate and
the Committee on Government Reform
of the House of Representatives, and the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs within the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB). The dates for the
matching program will be effective as
indicated below.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties may
comment on this notice by writing to
the Director, Office of Financial
Services, Office of Administration, 370

100–503, the Computer Matching and
Privacy Protection Act of 1988,
amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a)
by adding certain protections for
individuals applying for and receiving
federal benefits. The law regulates the
use of computer matching by federal
agencies when records in a system of
records are matched with other federal,
state and local government records.
Federal agencies which provide or
receive records in computer matching
programs must:
1. Negotiate written agreements with
source agencies;
2. Provide notification to applicants
and beneficiaries that their records are
subject to matching;
3. Verify match findings before
reducing, suspending, or terminating an
individual’s benefits or payments;
4. Furnish detailed reports to
Congress and OMB; and,
5. Establish a Data Integrity Board that
must approve matching agreements.
This computer matching program
meets the requirements of Pub. L. 100–
503.
