mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Under this SPA, the State indicated
that it would provide for the
implementation of an estate recovery
program under sections 1902(a)(18) and
1917(b) of the Social Security Act (the
Act). CMS issued a request for
additional information on March 5,
2008, which included a request for
information about the State’s projected
cost savings resulting from
implementation of the estate recovery
program. In discussions with CMS
regarding submission of SPA 07–21,
State officials stated that these projected
cost savings estimates would require
revision because the estate recovery
program had in fact not yet become
operational. The State did not provide
additional information indicating when
and to what extent it would come into
compliance with sections 1902(a)(18)
and 1917(b) of the Act. Thus, the State’s
overall submission did not provide
sufficient detail or information for us to
determine that the State has an estate
recovery program that meets statutory
requirements.
Based on the above, and after
consultation with the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services as required under Federal
regulations at 42 CFR 430.15(c)(2), CMS
disapproved Michigan Medicaid SPA
07–21.
The hearing will involve the
following issues:
• Whether the State complied with
the statutory requirements to implement
an estate recovery program; and
• Whether the State has provided the
information necessary for CMS to
determine whether the plan can be
approved to serve as a basis for Federal
financial participation.
Section 1116 of the Act and Federal
regulations at 42 CFR Part 430, establish
Department procedures that provide an
administrative hearing for
reconsideration of a disapproval of a
State plan or plan amendment. CMS is
required to publish a copy of the notice
to a State Medicaid agency that informs
the agency of the time and place of the
hearing, and the issues to be considered.
If we subsequently notify the agency of
additional issues that will be considered
at the hearing, we will also publish that
notice.
Any individual or group that wants to
participate in the hearing as a party
must petition the presiding officer
within 15 days after publication of this

notice, in accordance with the
requirements contained at 42 CFR
430.76(b)(2). Any interested person or
organization that wants to participate as
amicus curiae must petition the
presiding officer before the hearing
begins in accordance with the
requirements contained at 42 CFR
430.76(c). If the hearing is later
rescheduled, the presiding officer will
notify all participants.
The notice to Michigan announcing
an administrative hearing to reconsider
the disapproval of its SPA reads as
follows:
Mr. Paul Reinhart, Director, Medical Services
Administration, Department of Community
Health, 400 South Pine, Lansing, MI 48933.
Dear Mr. Reinhart: I am responding to your
request for reconsideration of the decision to
disapprove the Michigan State plan
amendment (SPA) 07–21, which was
submitted on December 28, 2007, and
disapproved on September 2, 2008.
Under this SPA, the State indicated that it
would provide for the implementation of an
estate recovery program under sections
1902(a)(18) and 1917(b) of the Social Security
Act (the Act). The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a request for
additional information on March 5, 2008,
which included a request for information
about the State’s projected cost savings
resulting from implementation of the estate
recovery program. In discussions with CMS
regarding submission of SPA 07–21, State
officials stated that these projected cost
savings estimates would require revision
because the estate recovery program had in
fact not yet become operational. The State
did not provide additional information
indicating when and to what extent it would
come into compliance with sections
1902(a)(18) and 1917(b) of the Act. Thus, the
State’s overall submission did not provide
sufficient detail or information for us to
determine that the State has an estate
recovery program that meets statutory
requirements. Based on the above, and after
consultation with the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services as
required under Federal regulations at 42 CFR
430.15(c)(2), CMS disapproved Michigan
Medicaid SPA 07–21.
The issues to be considered at the hearing
are:
• Whether the State complied with the
statutory requirements to implement an
estate recovery program; and
• Whether the State has provided the
information necessary for CMS to determine
whether the plan can be approved to serve
as a basis for Federal financial participation.
I am scheduling a hearing on your request
for reconsideration to be held on January 6,
2009, at the CMS Chicago Regional Office,

date is not acceptable, we would be glad to
set another date that is mutually agreeable to
the parties. The hearing will be governed by
the procedures prescribed by Federal
regulations at 42 CFR Part 430.
I am designating Mr. Benjamin Cohen as
the presiding officer. If these arrangements
present any problems, please contact the
presiding officer at (410) 786–3169. In order
to facilitate any communication which may
be necessary between the parties to the

the hearing.

resources, the composition of the match,
and the merit of the match as a criterion
in the competitive review. The
administratively imposed matching
requirement will apply only to new
awards and their continuation awards,
made under the Fiscal Year 2009
funding opportunity announcements
listed in this notice. This Fiscal Year
2009 matching requirement does not
represent an addition to the existing
matching requirements on awards made
under funding opportunity
announcements issued in Fiscal Year
2008 or before. The amount and
acceptable types of non-Federal
resources allowed is not negotiable.
However, matching may be provided as
direct or indirect costs. The presence
and composition of matching funds may
be used as a criterion in evaluating the
merits of an application during
competitive review. Specific
information related to the matching
requirement and competitive review
will be provided in each listed funding
opportunity announcement. Unmatched
Federal funds will be disallowed. Costs
borne by matching contributions are
subject to the regulations governing
allowability found under 45 CFR 74.23
and 45 CFR 92.24.
The Department of Health and Human
Services’ Grants Forecast is a database
of planned grant opportunities proposed
by its various agencies. Each Forecast
record contains actual or estimated

the agency intends to award during the

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Guidance for
Industry on Formal Meetings With
Sponsors and Applicants for
Prescription Drug User Fee Act
Products
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the
PRA), Federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on
the information collection contained in
the guidance for industry on formal
meetings with sponsors and applicants
for Prescription Drug User Fee Act
(PDUFA) products.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by January 12, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to https://
www.regulations.gov. Submit written
comments on the collection of
information to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm.
1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All
comments should be identified with the
docket number found in brackets in the
heading of this document.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elizabeth Berbakos, Office of
Information Management (HFA–710),
Food and Drug Administration, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857,
301–796–3792.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Guidance for Industry on Formal
Meetings With Sponsors and
Applicants for Prescription Drug User
Fee Act Products (OMB Control
Number 0910–0429)—Extension
This information collection approval
request is for an FDA guidance on the
procedures for formal meetings between
FDA and sponsors or applicants
regarding the development and review
of PDUFA products. The guidance
describes procedures for requesting,
scheduling, conducting, and
documenting such formal meetings. The
guidance provides information on how
the agency will interpret and apply
section 119(a) of the Food and Drug
Administration Modernization Act (the
Modernization Act), specific PDUFA
goals for the management of meetings
associated with the review of human
drug applications for PDUFA products,
and provisions of existing regulations
describing certain meetings (§§ 312.47
and 312.82 (21 CFR 312.47 and 312.82)).
The guidance describes two
collections of information: The
submission of a meeting request
containing certain information and the
submission of an information package in
advance of the formal meeting. Agency
regulations at §§ 312.47(b)(1)(ii),
(b)(1)(iv), and (b)(2) describe
information that should be submitted in

Historically, ACF has found that the imposition of a matching
requirement on awards under these programs results in an increased
level of community support and, often, a higher profile in the
community. This can contribute to the success and sustainability of the
project. The Fiscal Year 2009 funding opportunity announcements for
each listed program will advise applicants on the percentage of funds
that must be contributed through non-Federal
[[Page 67184]]
resources, the composition of the match, and the merit of the match as
a criterion in the competitive review. The administratively imposed
matching requirement will apply only to new awards and their
continuation awards, made under the Fiscal Year 2009 funding
opportunity announcements listed in this notice. This Fiscal Year 2009
matching requirement does not represent an addition to the existing
matching requirements on awards made under funding opportunity
announcements issued in Fiscal Year 2008 or before. The amount and
acceptable types of non-Federal resources allowed is not negotiable.
However, matching may be provided as direct or indirect costs. The
presence and composition of matching funds may be used as a criterion
in evaluating the merits of an application during competitive review.
Specific information related to the matching requirement and
competitive review will be provided in each listed funding opportunity
announcement. Unmatched Federal funds will be disallowed. Costs borne
by matching contributions are subject to the regulations governing
allowability found under 45 CFR 74.23 and 45 CFR 92.24.
The Department of Health and Human Services' Grants Forecast is a
database of planned grant opportunities proposed by its various
agencies. Each Forecast record contains actual or estimated dates and
funding levels for grants that the agency intends to award during the
fiscal year. Additional details about ACF planned FY2009 funding
