ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Under the Federal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
201 Evaluation Program, the General
Services Administration (GSA)
publishes this notice of intent that it
will no longer fund product/service
evaluations as of April 3, 2007. Overall
impact on the FIPS 201 Evaluation
Program is minimal with respect to
operations. Product/service evaluations
will continue to be performed and
approved through the current fully
operational laboratory and future
qualified laboratories; however, fees for
evaluations will be borne on a cost–
reimbursable basis by the Supplier.
Instruction on how to obtain product/
service evaluations and an estimated fee
structure will be posted at: (https://
fips201ep.cio.gov/index.php).
DATES: The GSA FIPS 201 Evaluation
Program currently provides funding for
evaluation of products and services
through its fully operational laboratory.
Suppliers whose applications for
evaluation are received by the
laboratory after April 3, 2007 will be
required to bear the cost of their
evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive–12 (HSPD–12), ‘‘Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for
Federal Employees and Contractors’’
requires agencies to use only
information technology products and
services that meet this standard. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has designated the GSA as the
Executive Agent for government-wide
acquisitions for the implementation of
HSPD–12. HSPD–12 establishes the
requirement for a mandatory
Government-wide standard for secure
and reliable forms of identification
issued by the Federal Government to its
employees and contractors. OMB has
directed Federal agencies to purchase
only products and services that are
compliant with the Federal policy,
standards and numerous supporting
technical specifications, including:
• Federal Information Processing
Standard 201, Personal Identity
Verification of Federal Employees and
Contractors;
• National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Special Publications
(SP) 800–73, Interfaces for Personal
Identity Verification, 800–78
Cryptographic Algorithms and Key
Sizes for Personal Identity Verification,
and 800–79, Guidelines for the
Certification and Accreditation of PIV
Card Issuing Organizations; and
• Special Publication 800–76,
Biometric Data Specification for
Personal Identity Verification (Pending).
To ensure standard HSPD–12
compliant products and services are
available, NIST has issued requirements
in FIPS 201 and supporting
documentation (https://csrc.nist.gov/pivprogram/fips201–support-docs.html).
As mandated by OMB through M05–
24, GSA has been designated as the
‘‘executive agent for Government-wide
acquisitions of information technology’’
under section 5112(e) of the ClingerCohen Act of 1996 (40 U.S.C. § 11302(e))
for the products and services required
by the HSPD–12. GSA will ensure all
approved Suppliers provide products
and services that meet all applicable
federal standards and requirements
through its fully operational laboratory
under the FIPS 201 Evaluation Program,
web site found at (https://
fips201ep.cio.gov/index.php).
The GSA FIPS 201 Evaluation
Program is currently set up to evaluate
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703

products and services against the
requirements outlined in FIPS 201 and
its supporting documents. Twenty-two
product/service categories were created
using FIPS 201 and supporting
documentation as the foundation. Each
category has developed approval and
test procedures which outline the
evaluation criteria, approval
mechanisms and test process employed
by the laboratory during their evaluation
of a Supplier’s product or service
against the requirements for that
category. Initially the cost of evaluating
each product was funded by GSA.
Once evaluated and approved by
GSA, products and services are placed
on the FIPS 201 Approved List.
Agencies can then procure these
products and services from Suppliers
for their HSPD–12 implementations
having full assurance that they meet all
the requirements of FIPS 201 and all
supporting documentation.
Dated: January 24, 2007.

In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), Department of Health
and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
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,

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. This is necessary to ensure
compliance with implementation of
Public Law 109–171 Deficit Reduction
Act (DRA) of 2005. CMS does not have
sufficient time to complete the normal
PRA clearance process.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Program Monthly Quarterly Drug
Reporting Format. Use: Section 1927 of
the Social Security Act requires drug
manufacturers to enter into and have in
effect a rebate agreement with the
Federal Government for States to receive
funding for drugs dispensed to
Medicaid beneficiaries. The Deficit
Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005 modified
Section 1927 to require additional
reporting requirements beyond the
quarterly data currently collected;
therefore, we are seeking approval of a
revision to this collection to reflect
changes implemented by the DRA. Such
changes include the addition of nominal
pricing as another quarterly data
element. CMS form 367 identifies the
data fields that manufacturers must
submit to CMS on both a monthly and
quarterly basis. Form Number: CMS–
367 (OMB#: 0938–0578); Frequency:
Reporting: Monthly and quarterly;
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Number of Respondents: 540;
Total Annual Responses: 8,640; Total
Annual Hours: 51,840.
CMS is requesting OMB review and
approval of this collection by March 5,
2007, with a 180-day approval period.
Written comments and
recommendations will be considered
from the public if received by the
individuals designated below by March
3, 2007.

burden.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS):
Rounds 48–56. Use: The Medicare
Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a
continuous, multipurpose survey of a
nationally representative sample of
aged, disabled, and institutionalized
Medicare beneficiaries. MCBS, which is
sponsored by the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services, is the only
comprehensive source of information on
the health status, health care use and
expenditures, health insurance
coverage, and socioeconomic and
demographic characteristics of the
entire spectrum of Medicare
beneficiaries. MCBS data users can
assess the impact of major policy
innovations and health care reform on
Medicare beneficiaries. They can
monitor delivery of services, sources of
payment for Medicare covered and noncovered services, beneficiary cost
sharing and financial protection, and
satisfaction with and the access to
health care services. Form Number:

L. 108–173) authorizes a three-year
demonstration to assess the clinical and
cost-effectiveness of providing medical
adult day-care services as a substitute
for a portion of home health services
that would otherwise be provided in the
beneficiary’s home. Under this
authority, the Centers for Medicare &
