Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and Transfer of Jurisdiction; Wisconsin
The Bureau of Land Management has received a petition/ application from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service requesting that the Secretary of the Interior withdraw for a 50-year term 328.70 acres of public land from surface entry, and transfer administrative jurisdiction to the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, to protect and manage migratory bird and threatened and endangered species habitat.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Illinois Waterway, Illinois
The Coast Guard is revising the drawbridge operations for the Pekin Railroad Drawbridge, Mile 151.2, at Pekin, Illinois and the Chessie Railroad Drawbridge, Mile 254.1 at Seneca, Illinois across the Illinois Waterway. The present regulation found in Sec. 117.393(b) is being revised to reflect the actual procedures that have always been followed. That regulation was intended to be temporary, for test purposes only, and was inadvertently permanently included in the Code of Federal Regulations. This rule eliminates the ``Specific Requirements'' for remote operation, and the bridge will continue to operate, as required by the Coast Guard, under the ``General Requirements''. In addition, the Coast Guard is revising the regulation governing the operation of the Chessie Railroad Drawbridge across the Illinois Waterway, Mile 254.1, at Seneca, Illinois. The existing regulation requires the drawspan to open on signal. This revision is necessary to reflect a change in operating procedure.

Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New System of Records
In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system titled, ``Post-Acute Care Payment Reform / Continuity of Assessment Report and Evaluation Demonstration and Evaluation (PAC-CARE), System No. 09-70-0569.'' The program is authorized under Section 5008 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which allows for the establishment of a demonstration program for purposes of understanding costs and outcomes across different post- acute care sites. The PAC-CARE will collect information that will enable CMS to better understand the relationships among patient needs, post-acute care placement, patient outcomes, and post-acute care related costs in the Medicare program. Anticipated results of the PAC- CARE include a standardized assessment instrument for post-acute care patients and a proposal for site-neutral payment for post-acute care services. The purpose of this system is to collect and maintain demographic, health, and health resource use related data on the target population of Medicare beneficiaries who require treatment in a designated acute care or post-acute care facility. We will also collect certain identifying information on Medicare providers who provide services to such beneficiaries. Information retrieved from this system may be disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, reimbursement, and policy functions performed within the agency or by a contractor, grantee, consultant or other legal agent; (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 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 the functions of Quality Improvement Organizations; (5) support the functions of national accrediting organizations; (6) support litigation involving the agency; and (7) combat fraud, waste, and abuse in certain Federally-funded health benefits programs. We have provided background information about the new 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.
