B. Final Payments
64. Each winning bidder will be
required to submit the balance of the net
amount of its winning bids within 10
business days after the applicable
deadline for submitting down payments.
C. Long-Form Application
65. Within thirty days after the release
of the auction closing notice, winning
bidders must submit electronically a
properly completed long-form
application (FCC Forms 301–CA or 346),
and required exhibits for each
construction permit won through

new entrant status must include an
exhibit demonstrating its eligibility for
the bidding credit. Further filing
instructions will be provided to auction
winners at the close of the auction.

D. Default and Disqualification
66. Any winning bidder that defaults
or is disqualified after the close of the
auction (i.e., fails to remit the required
down payment within the prescribed
period of time, fails to submit a timely
long-form application, fails to make full
final payment within the prescribed
period of time, or is otherwise
disqualified) will be subject to the
payments described in 47 CFR
1.2104(g)(2). The payments include both
a deficiency payment, equal to the
difference between the amount of the
bidder’s bid and the amount of the
winning bid the next time a
construction permit covering the same
spectrum is won in an auction, plus an
additional payment equal to a
percentage of the defaulter’s bid or of
the subsequent winning bid, whichever
is less.
67. The percentage of the applicable
bid to be assessed as an additional
payment for defaults in a particular
auction is established in advance of the
auction. The Bureaus have set the
additional default payment for this
auction at twenty percent (20%) of the
applicable bid.
68. Finally, in the event of a default,
the Commission may re-auction the
construction permit or offer it to the
next highest bidder (in descending
order) at its final bid amount. In
addition, if a default or disqualification
involves gross misconduct,
misrepresentation, or bad faith by an
applicant, the Commission may declare
the applicant and its principals
ineligible to bid in future auctions, and
may take any other action that it deems
necessary, including institution of
proceedings to revoke any existing
authorizations held by the applicant.

E. Refund of Remaining Upfront
Payment Balance
69. All applicants that submit upfront
payments but after the close of the
auction are not winning bidders for a
construction permit in Auction 85 may
be entitled to a refund of their
remaining upfront payment balance
after the conclusion of the auction. All
refunds will be returned to the payor of
record, as identified on the FCC Form
159, unless the payor submits written
authorization instructing otherwise.
70. Bidders that drop out of the
auction completely may be eligible for
a refund of their upfront payments
before the close of the auction. Qualified
bidders that have exhausted all of their
activity rule waivers and have no
remaining bidding eligibility may also
be eligible for a refund of their upfront
payment before the close of the auction.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services.
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 function;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: Evaluation of
the Home Health Pay for Performance
Demonstration: Survey instrument; Use:
The Home Health Pay for Performance
Demonstration is part of a change by
CMS toward performance-based
purchasing for a variety of provider
types. By providing financial incentives
for achieving high levels of performance
on standardized quality measures, CMS
hopes to encourage health care
providers to improve the quality of care
provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The
Home Health Pay for Performance
Demonstration (HHP4PD) relies on the
voluntary participation by home health
agencies within several States, with

random assignment of participating
agencies to treatment or control groups
within each State, where the control
group will not be eligible for incentive
payments. These two groups form the
primary comparison for determining if
the HHP4PD was effective in creating
improved, targeted outcomes for
patients served by home health
agencies. The information collected will
be used as part of the evaluation of the
Home Health Pay for Performance
Demonstration sponsored by CMS. Form
Number: CMS–10270 (OMB# 0938—
New); Frequency: Once; Affected Public:
Business or other for-profits and not-forprofit institutions; Number of
Respondents: 570; Total Annual
Responses: 570; Total Annual Hours:
285.
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Demonstration Ambulatory Care Quality
Measure Performance Assessment Tool
(‘‘PAT’’); Use: CMS is requesting an
extension of the currently approved tool
for the collection of ambulatory care
clinical performance measure data. The
data will be used to continue
implementation of two Congressionally
mandated demonstration projects (the
Physician Group Practice (PGP)
Demonstration and the Medicare Care
Management Performance (MCMP)
Demonstration) and, starting in 2011,
support data collection under the new
Electronic Health Records (EHR)
Demonstration. Each of these
demonstrations, test new payment
methods for improving the quality and
efficiency of health care services
delivered to Medicare fee-for-service
beneficiaries, especially those with
chronic conditions that account for a
disproportionate share of Medicare
expenditures. In addition, the MCMP
and EHR demonstration specifically
encourage the adoption of electronic
health records systems as a vehicle for
improving how health care is delivered.
The changes in the estimated burden
between this submission and the
original submission are due to the
following changes: Combining the
Information Collection Request (ICR)
application for the PGP and MCMP
demonstrations into a single ICR
application. Reduction in the number of
practices participating in the MCMP
Demonstration. An increase in the
estimated cost per hour (salary + fringe)
for collecting the data. The
implementation of the new EHR
Demonstration which will begin
collecting clinical quality data starting
in 2011 with 400 Phase I practices. Form
Number: CMS–10136 (OMB# 0938–

Responses: 1,060; Total Annual Hours:
25,990.
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: Consolidated
Renal Operations in a Web Enabled
Network (CROWNWeb) Third-party
Submission Authorization Form; Use:
The Consolidated Renal Operations in a
Web Enabled Network (CROWNWeb)
Third-Party Submission Authorization
form is to be completed by ‘‘Facility
Administrators’’ (administrators of
CMS-certified dialysis facilities) if they
intend to authorize a third party (a
business with which the facility is
associated, or an independent vendor)
to submit data to CMS to comply with
the recently-revised Conditions for
Coverage of dialysis facilities. The
CROWNWeb system is the system used
as the collection point of data necessary
for entitlement of ESRD patients to
Medicare benefits and for Federal
Government monitoring and assessing
of the quality and types of care provided
to renal patients. The information
collected through the CWTPSA form
will allow CMS and its contractors to
receive data from authorized parties
acting on behalf of CMS-certified
dialysis facilities. CMS anticipates that
roughly 3,000 signed forms will be
received by February 2009, and that the
total number of forms may reach 5,100
by February 2012. Form Number: CMS–
10266 (OMB# 0938—New); Frequency:
Monthly; Affected Public: Business or
other for-profits and not-for-profit
institutions; Number of Respondents:
5,100; Total Annual Responses: 5,100;
Total Annual Hours: 425.
4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Enrollment Application; Form Number:
CMS–855 (A, B, I, R) (OMB#: 0938–
0685); Use: The primary function of the
Medicare enrollment application is to
gather information from a provider or
supplier that tells us who it is, whether
it meets certain qualifications to be a
health care provider or supplier, where
it practices or renders its services, the
identity of the owners of the enrolling
entity, and information necessary to
establish correct claims payments. We
are revising this currently approved
information collection. The goal of the
revisions to this information collection
request (ICR) is to adjust the burden
associated with this ICR to account for
the removal of the CMS–855(S)
application. Frequency: Recordkeeping
