Proposed Project—Annual Appellant
Climate Survey—0990–NEW—Office of
Medicare Hearings and Appeals
(OMHA).
Abstract: The first annual OMHA
Appellant Climate Survey is a survey of
Medicare beneficiaries, providers, and
suppliers who had a hearing before an
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the
Office of Medicare Hearings and
Appeals (OMHA). Appellants
dissatisfied with the outcome of their
Level 2 appeal may request a hearing
before an OMHA ALJ. The Appellant
Climate Survey will be used to measure
appellant satisfaction with their OMHA
appeals experience, as opposed to their
satisfaction with a specific ruling.
OMHA was established by the
Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement, and Modernization Act
(MMA) of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–173) and
became operational on July 1, 2005. The
MMA legislation and implementing
regulations issued on March 8, 2007
instituted a number of changes in the
appeals process. The MMA legislation
also directed the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services to consider
the feasibility of conducting hearings
using telephone or video-teleconference
technologies. In carrying out this
mandate, OMHA makes extensive use of
video-teleconferencing to provide
appellants with a vast nationwide
network of access points for hearings
close to their homes. The survey will
gauge appellants’ satisfaction with this
new service along with the overall
appeals experience. The OMHA survey
will be conducted annually over a threeyear period, beginning in FY08. Results
from the surveys will be used to gauge
progress made in increasing satisfaction
among appellants.

I. Background
In the FR Doc. E7–23746 of December
7, 2007 (72 FR 69218), we published a
Paperwork Reduction Act notice
requesting a 30-day public comment
period for the document entitled ‘‘State
Plan Template to Implement Section
6062 of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005.’’
In the date December 7, 2007 notice,
we inadvertently included information
pertaining to another new collection
(CMS–10251). Therefore, we are
correcting that error in this notice.
II. Correction of Error
In FR Doc. E7–23746 of December 7,
2007 (72 FR 69218), make the following
correction:
On page 69218, first column, second
full paragraph beginning with the
phrase ‘‘1. Type of Information
Collection’’ and ending with figure
‘‘600’’ is corrected to read as follows:
‘‘1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New Collection; Title of
Information Collection: State Plan
Template to Implement Section 6062 of
the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of
2005; Use: The DRA provides States
with numerous flexibilities in operating
their State Medicaid Programs. Section
6062 of the DRA (Opportunity for
families of Disabled Children to
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:33 Dec 28, 2007
Jkt 214001
Purchase Medicaid Coverage for Such
Children) allows States the opportunity
to provide Medicaid benefits to disabled
children who would otherwise be
ineligible because of family income that
is above the State’s highest Medicaid
eligibility standards for children. It
specifically allows families with
disabled children to ‘‘buy-in’’ to
Medicaid, and prevents them from
having to stay impoverished, become
impoverished, place their children in
out-of-home placements, or simply give
up custody of their child in order to
access needed health care for their
disabled children.
Under the DRA, States must submit a
SPA to CMS to effectuate this change to
their Medicaid programs. CMS will
provide a State Medicaid Director letter
providing guidance on this provision
and the associated SPA template for use
by States to modify their Medicaid State
Plans if they choose to implement this
provision. Providing the State with this
SPA template will reduce State burden
significantly. Form Numbers: CMS–

Local, or Tribal Governments; Number
of Respondents: 56; Total Annual

Proposed Project--Annual Appellant Climate Survey--0990-NEW--Office
of Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA).
Abstract: The first annual OMHA Appellant Climate Survey is a
survey of Medicare beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers who had a
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the Office of
Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA). Appellants dissatisfied with the
outcome of their Level 2 appeal may request a hearing before an OMHA
ALJ. The Appellant Climate Survey will be used to measure appellant
satisfaction with their OMHA appeals experience, as opposed to their
satisfaction with a specific ruling.
OMHA was established by the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-173) and
became operational on July 1, 2005. The MMA legislation and
implementing regulations issued on March 8, 2007 instituted a number of

vast nationwide network of access points for hearings close to their
homes. The survey will gauge appellants' satisfaction with this new
service along with the overall appeals experience. The OMHA survey will
be conducted annually over a three-year period, beginning in FY08.
Results from the surveys will be used to gauge progress made in
increasing satisfaction among appellants.
