Designation of a Class of Employees
for Addition to the Special Exposure
Cohort
Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices: Meeting
This designation will become
effective on December 9, 2006, unless
Congress provides otherwise prior to the
effective date. After this effective date,
HHS will publish a notice in the
Federal Register reporting the addition
of this class to the SEC or the result of
any provision by Congress regarding the
decision by HHS to add the class to the
SEC.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 7384q, in a
October 11, 2006 letter to the Secretary
of HHS, the Advisory Board on
Radiation and Worker Health (‘‘the
Board’’) advised the Secretary of HHS to
designate the class as an addition to the
SEC. The Board further stated,
ACTION:
‘‘In their evaluation, NIOSH determined
that it was difficult to identify people who
worked in these areas of LANL based on job
classifications. Therefore, the Board
recommends that determination of eligibility
for this class take into account this difficulty
and in the absence of work history or other
information to the contrary, workers at the
LANL facility during the period in question
should be presumed to have worked in the
areas in question.’’
Since determination of eligibility is
not within the authority of HHS, the
Board’s recommendation on this issue
was not included in the HHS
designation.

Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
We are requesting an emergency
review of the information collection

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

Administration. We cannot reasonably

procedures because the use of normal
clearance procedures is reasonably
likely to cause a statutory deadline to be
missed.
The reporting requirements being
filed under this collection do not
represent substantively new processes
for the Programs of All-inclusive Care
for the Elderly (PACE) providers. The
reporting requirements have been
updated in specific areas to provide a
mechanism for disclosure and recusal in
the event of a conflict of interest
involving members of the PACE
governing body or their immediate
family members. In addition, the
requirement that PACE organizations
must furnish a copy of signed contracts
for inpatient care facilities to CMS and
the State administering agency has been
removed.
The Medicare and Medicaid
Programs: Programs of All-inclusive
Care for the Elderly; program revisions
final rule, CMS–1201–F, and the
reporting requirements in this collection
are required to become effective on the
same date.
Type of Information Collection

approved collection.
Title of Information Collection: The
Medicare and Medicaid Programs;
Programs of All-inclusive Care for the
Elderly (PACE).
Form Number: CMS–R–244 (OMB#:
0938–0790).
Use: PACE organizations must
demonstrate their ability to provide
quality community-based care for the
frail elderly who meet their State’s
nursing home eligibility standards using
capitated payments from Medicare and
the State. PACE programs must provide
all Medicare and Medicaid covered
services including hospital, nursing
home, home health, and other
specialized services. This collection is
necessary to ensure that only
appropriate organizations are selected to
become PACE organizations and that
CMS has the information necessary to
monitor the care they provide.
Frequency: Reporting—Once and On
occasion.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions and State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.
Number of Respondents: 54.
Total Annual Responses: 108.
Total Annual Hours: 44131.50.
