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: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Program; Conditions for Payment of
Power Mobility Devices, including
Power Wheelchairs and Power-Operated
Vehicles; Use: CMS is renewing our
request for approval for the collection
requirements associated with the final
rule, CMS–3017–F (71 FR 17021), which
was published on April 5, 2006 and
became effective on June 5, 2006. The
regulation CMS–3017–F finalized
provisions set forth in the interim final
regulation (70 FR 50940) published on
August 26, 2005. This final rule
conforms our regulations to section
302(a)(2)(E)(iv) of the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act of 2003. This rule
defines the term power mobility devices
(PMDs) as power wheelchairs and
power operated vehicles (POVs or
scooters). It sets forth revised conditions
for Medicare payment of PMDs and
defines who may prescribe PMDs. This
rule also requires a face-to-face
examination of the beneficiary by the
physician or treating practitioner, a
written prescription, and receipt of
pertinent parts of the medical record by
the supplier within 45 days after the
face-to-face examination that the
durable medical equipment (DME)
suppliers maintain in their records and
make available to CMS and its agents
upon request. Finally, this rule
discusses CMS’ policy on
documentation that may be requested by
CMS and its agents to support a
Medicare claim for payment.
Since the implementation of
regulation CMS–3017–F, there have
been no new requirements that have
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
necessitated changes to any burden. The
change in total burden is attributable to
an estimate of claims for PMD that were
higher than the estimate of claims
calculated for this PRA package. For
example, last time CMS calculated
burden estimates associated with this
regulation to be 243,000 claims. For this
package, CMS estimates that 240,325
claims will be submitted for payment in
2009. This translates into 48,065 hours
instead of 48,600 hours, resulting in a
difference of 535 hours less burden than
originally estimated.
Form Number: CMS–10116 (OMB
#0938–0971); Frequency: Occasionally;
Affected Public: Private Sector; Number
of Respondents: 89,411; Total Annual
Responses: 240,325; Total Annual
Hours: 48,065. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Maria
Ciccanti at 410–786–3107. For all other
issues call 410–786–1326.)

Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is conducting a
demonstration and evaluation called the
Community Healthy Marriage Initiative
(CHMI). Demonstration programs have
been funded through Healthy Marriage
and Responsible Fatherhood grants
authorized under section 403(a)(2) of
the Social Security Act to support
healthy marriage directly and to
encourage community changes that
increase support for healthy marriages
and improve child and family well-
being. The objective of the evaluation is
to: (1) Assess the implementation of
community interventions designed to
provide marriage education by
examining the way the projects operate
and by examining child support
outcomes among low-income families in
the community; and (2) evaluate the
community impacts of these
interventions on marital stability and
satisfaction, child well-being and child
support outcomes among low-income
families.
The purpose of this information
collection is to conduct a follow-up
survey of respondents from Wave 1 who
live in the communities where CHMI
demonstrations are operating, and a
survey of CR141 program participants.
The impact evaluation will assess the
effects of community healthy marriage
initiatives by comparing family and
child well-being outcomes in the CR141
communities with similar outcomes in
comparison communities that are well
matched to the demonstration project
sites.
Respondents: Community members
and program participants in CHMI
treatment and comparison communities.

Title: Summary Data Component,
National Child Abuse and Neglect Data
System (NCANDS).
OMB No.: 0980–0229.
Description: The Child Abuse and
Neglect Treatment Act (42 U.S.C. 5101
et seq.) as amended requires States to
annually work with the Secretary to
provide to the maximum extent
practical, a report that includes 12 data
items listed in the statute. The National
Child Abuse and Neglect Data System
(NCANDS), administered by the
Children’s Bureau, meets this reporting
requirement. In addition, the
amendments of 1988 require that the
data system shall be universal and case
specific and integrated with other casebased foster care and adoption data
collected by the Secretary. There are
two data components, the Detailed Case
Data Component (DCDC), which
includes the case-level data submitted
through the Child File and some
aggregated data submitted through the
Agency File, and the Summary Data
component (SC), which is used by
States that cannot submit case-level
data. No changes are being requested.
The Summary Data Component will be
phased out over the next few years as
the number of States that can complete
the Child File increases.
Respondents: State Child Welfare
Agencies.

Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood grants authorized under
