The
Federal Communications Commission
Technological Advisory Council (TAC)
is in the process of being reestablished.
The Commission is requesting
nominations for membership on the
TAC for its next two year cycle.
In reestablishing the TAC, the
Commission noted that rapid advances
in technology have resulted in
innovations in how telecommunications
services are provided to, and are
accessed by, users of those services.
Many of these advances create
challenges and opportunities for the
growth of telecommunications and use
of the radio spectrum. The Commission
must remain abreast of new
developments in technology so that it
can effectively fulfill its responsibilities
under the Communications Act. The
purpose of the TAC is to provide
technical advice to the Federal
Communications Commission and to
make recommendations on the issues
and questions presented to it by the
FCC. The TAC will address questions
referred to it by the FCC Chairman, the
FCC Chief Technologist, the Chief of the
FCC Office of Engineering and
Technology, or the TAC Designated
Federal Officer. The questions referred
to the TAC will be directed to
technological and technical issues in the
field of communications. Among the
potential topics that the TAC may
consider are spectrum policy,
broadband technology and deployment,
communications technology that
enhances and supports public safety,
Internet security, and communications
technology required to support
emerging systems such as the smart grid
and tele-health applications.
The TAC will meet three to five times
per year, with the possibility of more
frequent meetings by informal
subcommittees. Meetings of the
Committee shall be open to the public.
Timely notice of each meeting will be
published in the Federal Register and
will be further publicized through other
appropriate vehicles.
The Commission will provide
facilities necessary to conduct meetings.
Members of the Council will serve
without any government compensation,
and will not be entitled to travel
expenses, per diem or subsistence
allowances. The Council will consist of
recognized technical experts in
telecommunications and related fields.
The Commission will accept
nominations for the Council through
May 8, 2009. The Commission, at its
discretion, may consider nominations

AGENCY: Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
CMS is proposing to make minor
amendments to an existing system of
records (SOR) titled, ‘‘Performance
Measurement and Reporting System
(PMRS),’’ System No. 09–70–0584,
published at 72 Federal Register 52133
(September 12, 2007), as amended by 73
Federal Register 80412 (December 31,
2008). PMRS serves as a master system
of records to assist in projects that
provide transparency in health care on
a broad-scale enabling consumers to
compare the quality and price of health
care services so that they can make
informed choices among individual
physicians, practitioners, and other
providers of services. We are making
minor amendments to PMRS to include
an additional legal authority: Section
109 of the Tax Relief and Health Care
Act of 2006 (TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109–432).
Section 109 of the TRHCA amended
Section 1833(t) of the Social Security
Act (42 U.S.C. 1395l(t)). This section
mandates the establishment of a
program for quality data reporting for
hospital outpatient services and allow
for the establishment of a program to
require quality data reporting for
ambulatory surgical center services.
Accordingly, CMS is adding section 109
of TRCHA (42 U.S.C. 1395l(t)) and
section 1833(t) of the Act to the PMRS’
legal authority section.
The primary purpose of this system is
explained in 72 FR 52133 (2007) and 73
FR 80412 (2008). We have provided
background information about this
modified system in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below.
DATES: Effective Dates: The minor
amendments contained in this notice
are effective upon publication in the
Federal Register.
