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 system titled, ‘‘Rural Hospice Demonstration (RHD), System No. 09– 70–0563.’’ The program is mandated by § 409 of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Public Law (Pub. L.) 108– 173), which was enacted into law on December 8, 2003, and amended Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (the Act). Section 409 authorizes the Secretary of HHS (the Secretary) to conduct a demonstration project for the delivery of hospice care to Medicare beneficiaries in rural areas. Under the demonstration, Medicare beneficiaries who are unable to receive hospice care at home for lack of an appropriate caregiver are provided such care in a facility of 20 or fewer beds that offers, within its walls, the full range of services provided by hospice programs. In order for a hospice organization or agency to participate in this demonstration, it must be Medicare certified and meet all of the Medicare Conditions of Participation as described in subparts C (General Provisions), D (Core Services), and E (Other Services) of 42 CFR 418, except it shall not be required to offer services outside the facility or meet the 20 percent inpatient cap requirements of section 1861(dd)(2) (A) (iii) of the Act. The purpose of this system is to collect and maintain a person-level view of identifiable data of Medicare beneficiaries who participate in the rural hospice demonstrations. Information retrieved from this system may 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 with information to contribute to the accuracy of CMS’s proper payment of Medicare benefits, enable such agency to administer a Federal health benefits program, or to enable such agency to fulfill a requirement of Federal statute or PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 regulation that implements a health benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds; (3) support an individual or organization for 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; (4) support litigation involving the agency; and (5) combat fraud, waste, and abuse in certain Federally-funded health benefits programs. We have provided background information about this 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 SOR report with the Chair of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, the Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs, and the Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on September 26, 2006 . To ensure that all parties have adequate time in which to comment, the new system will become effective 30 days from the publication of the notice, or 40 days from the date it was submitted to OMB and the Congress, whichever is later. We may defer implementation of this system or one or more of the routine use statements listed below if we receive comments that persuade us to defer implementation. DATES: The public should address comment to the CMS Privacy Officer, Division of Privacy Compliance, Enterprise Architecture and Strategy Group, Office of Information Services, Mail-stop N2–04–27, 7500 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21244– 1850. Comments received will be available for review at this location by appointment during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.–3 p.m., eastern time. ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy Massuda, Project Officer, Division of Deliver System Demonstration, Office of Research Development & Information, Mail Stop C4–18–03, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 7500 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21244–1849.
