SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency
Acquisition Council and the Defense
Acquisition Regulations Council (the
Councils) are issuing this notice to
provide information to Federal
contractors who have contracts funded,
in whole or in part, by the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(‘‘Recovery Act’’), and include the FAR
clause 52.204–11. This notice is being
provided to offer assistance to Federal
contractors in understanding the
FederalReporting.gov centralized
reporting tool.
DATES: Effective Date: September 25,
2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
clarification of content, contact Mr.
Ernest Woodson, Procurement Analyst,
at (202) 501–3775. Please cite Notice—
Centralized Reporting Tool at
Federalreporting.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
On March 31, 2009, the Councils
published an interim rule, FAR case
2009–009, American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery
Act)—Reporting Requirements (74 FR
14639). The rule implements section
1512 of Public Law 111–5, the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(the ‘‘Recovery Act’’), which requires
Federal contractors that receive awards
(or modifications to existing awards)
funded, in whole or in part, by the
Recovery Act to report cumulatively
each calendar quarter on the use of the
funds. Federal contractors will report
using a centralized reporting tool at
FederalReporting.gov. The reporting
tool was anticipated to be available for
the reporting period ending June 30,
2009, with reports due July 10, 2009.
However, the reporting tool was not
available and a notice was posted to
FederalReporting.gov advising Federal
contractors to maintain their data for the
quarter ending June 30, 2009 for the
cumulative report due October 10, 2009.
The reporting tool is anticipated to be
available at FederalReporting.gov on
October 1, 2009.
On August 25, 2009, a Federal
Register notice (74 FR 42877) was
published to notify Federal contractors
that the Recovery Accountability and
Transparency Board (‘‘Board’’) had
announced the availability of
registration at FederalReporting.gov. To
comply with the reporting required by
52.204–11, Federal contractors must
first register at FederalReporting.gov.
Early registration is encouraged. The

registration process requires
authorization by the Federal contractors’
Government Business or Electronic
Business Points of Contact listed in their
Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
record for the DUNS number indicated
by the FederalReporting.gov registrant.
Federal contractors, who have not
already registered at
FederalReporting.gov, should do so
now. For more information on the
registration and authorization process,
go to the ‘‘Downloads’’ tab at
FederalReporting.gov and select the
‘‘User Registration Guide’’ and
‘‘Recipient Point of Contact Guide’’ from
the Documentation section. A User
Guide for the reporting tool will be
posted to FederalReporting.gov shortly
and will also contain registration
instructions.
Contractors are advised to review the
‘‘Recipient Reporting Data Model’’ also
provided under the ‘‘Downloads’’ tab.
This document includes the data
elements that will be required for
reporting. The FAR Council is not
responsible for developing
FederalReporting.gov but understands
that the system is being initially
developed to focus on core functionality
and will not pre-populate data elements.
Therefore, additional data elements not
included in the list in FAR clause
52.204–11, primarily administrative
information required by the Federal
Funding and Accountability Act
(FFATA), must be entered. These
additional data elements include:
agency information (awarding agency
and Government contracting office);
contractor information (name, address,
DUNS number, and congressional
district); and, award information
(program source (treasury account
symbol (TAS)) associated with the
award. Further, contractors must select
‘‘Federally awarded contract’’ from a list
of award types. Federal contractors will
have much of this data on hand, or it
will be readily available in the contract
document.
Until posted at FederalReporting.gov,
information to assist Federal contractors
in preparing for reporting, including a
series of Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) on reporting for Federal
contractors, has been posted to https://
www.whitehouse.gov/omb/
recoveryldefault/. These FAQs will
familiarize Federal contractors with the
new system, available guides, key dates
and activities, and the reporting process.
The FAQs also provide additional
information on data elements, such as
examples on how to calculate full-timeequivalent in order to report jobs
created and retained.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 185 / Friday, September 25, 2009 / Notices
Because some information may not be
available in the contract document, such
as the TAS, the FAQs provide
instruction on how to easily locate this
information in the Recovery Act Report
updated daily at https://www.fpds.gov.
The current interim rule will remain
in effect. The FAR Council anticipates
that the first reporting cycle will
provide valuable experience and
information necessary to inform the
Council’s decision on how best to
proceed with the FAR rule. Federal
contractors will be notified of the FAR
Council’s plan through the Federal
Register.
An emergency information collection
request adding the additional data
elements and extending OMB–9000–
0166 has been approved by the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs.
Information Collections for OMB–9000–
0167, 9000–0168, and 9000–0169 have
been extended. See

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: Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Report
on Payables and Receivables; Use:
Collection of CHIP data and the
calculation of the CHIP Incurred But
Not Reported (IBNR) estimate are
pertinent to CMS’ financial audit. The
CFO auditors have reported the lack of
an estimate for CHIP IBNR payables and
receivables as a reportable condition in
the FY 2005 audit of CMS’s financial
statements. It is essential that CMS
collect the necessary data from State
agencies in FY 2006, so that CMS
continues to receive an unqualified
audit opinion on its financial
statements. Program expenditures for
the CHIP have increased since its
inception; as such, CHIP receivables and
payables may materially impact the
financial statements. The CHIP Report
on Payables and Receivables will
provide the information needed to
calculate the CHIP IBNR.; Form
Number: CMS–10180 (OMB#: 0938–
0988); Frequency: Reporting—Annually;
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
governments; Number of Respondents:
56; Total Annual Responses: 56; Total

1326.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicaid Report
on Payables and Receivables; Use: The
Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of
1990, as amended by the Government
Management Reform Act (GMRA) of
1994, requires government agencies to
produce auditable financial statements.
Because the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) fulfills its
mission through its contractors and the
States; these entities are the primary
source of information for the financial
statements. There are three basic
categories of data: Expenses, payables,
and receivables. The CMS–64 is used to
collect data on Medicaid expenses. The
CMS–R–199 collects Medicaid payable
and receivable accounting data from the
States. Form Number: CMS–R–199
(OMB#: 0938–0697); Frequency:
Reporting—Annually; Affected Public:
State, Local or Tribal governments;

QIO Reconsiderations and Appeals; Use:
In the event that a beneficiary, provider,
physician, or other practitioner does not
agree with the initial determination of a
Quality Improvement Organization
(QIO) or a QIO subcontractor, it is
within that party’s rights to request
reconsideration. The information
collection requirements 42 CFR 478.18,
478.34, 478.36, and 478.42, contain
procedures for QIOs to use in
reconsideration of initial
determinations. The information
requirements contained in these
regulations are on QIOs to provide
information to parties requesting the
reconsideration. These parties will use
the information as guidelines for appeal
rights in instances where issues are
actively being disputed. Form Number:
CMS–R–72 (OMB#: 0938–0443);
Frequency: Reporting—On occasion;
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households and Business or other forprofit institutions; Number of
Respondents: 2,590; Total Annual
Responses: 5,228; Total Annual Hours:
2,822. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Tom Kessler at
410–786–1991. For all other issues call
410–786–1326.)
4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of

Annual Election Period (AEP).
Beginning 2009, organizations will be
required to notify plan members of the
coming year changes using a combined
standardized document at the time of
enrollment and annually thereafter.
Section 422.111 requires, to the extent
that a MA plan has a Web site, annual
notification through the Web site of
written, hard copy notification sent to
the beneficiaries. Section 423.128
requires that a part D plan have
