Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 20 / Monday, February 1, 2010 / Notices
to make determinations regarding
deposit insurance coverage for
depositors of failed institutions. The
information provided allows the FDIC to
identify the actual owners of an account
and each owner’s interest in the
account.
Current Action: The FDIC is
requesting OMB approval to make
modifications, which may be considered
substantive and material, to the
following forms: Declaration for Trust,
Form 7200/05, and Declaration for
Testamentary Deposit (Multiple
Grantors), Form 7200/09. In addition,
the FDIC proposes to eliminate its
Declaration for Testamentary Deposit
(Single Grantors), Form 7200/03,
combining it with the newly modified
Form 7200/09, Declaration for
Testamentary Deposit; and add to the
collection a new form, Declaration for
Irrevocable Trust, Form 7200/18.
Specifically, with respect to Form 7200/
05, the FDIC is changing the title of the
form to ‘‘Declaration for Revocable
Trust,’’ thereby eliminating use of the
form for irrevocable trusts; deleting the
request for information on ownership
interest (by percentage or dollar
amount); adding a request for
information on beneficiary type (i.e.,
individual, charity, or non-profit) and
adding, for charitable or non-profit
organizations, a request that the
respondent indicate whether the charity
or non-profit is recognized by the IRS.
The FDIC believes that the changes to
Form 7200/05 do not render it any more
or less burdensome than the existing
form; therefore, the estimated time to
complete the form is unchanged. There
is, however, an estimated decrease (of
200) in the number of respondents
because the form will no longer be used
to collect information for irrevocable
trusts. With respect to Form 7200/09,
the FDIC is proposing to combine it
with Form 7200/03, making it
applicable to both single and multiple
grantor testamentary deposits; eliminate
the request for information regarding the
relationship of each beneficiary to the
grantors; eliminate the requirement to
provide a date of death for any named
beneficiaries who are deceased; add a
request for information on beneficiary
type (i.e., individual, charity, or nonprofit) and add, for charitable or nonprofit organization beneficiaries, a
request that the respondent indicate
whether the charity or non-profit is
recognized by the IRS. The FDIC
believes that changes to Form 7200/09
do not render it any more or less
burdensome than the existing form.
Although the number of respondents
has increased to reflect inclusion of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
respondents to discontinued Form
7200/03, the impact on overall burden
for the collection is neutral. With
respect to new Form 7200/18, it will
collect information regarding
irrevocable trusts that previously was
collected on Form 7200/05. However,
unlike old Form 7200/05, new Form
7200/18 does not request information on
the ownership interest (percentage or
dollar amount) of beneficiaries, or the
date of death or any deceased
beneficiaries, but does collect
information on the beneficiary type (i.e.,
individual, charity or non-profit) and,
for charitable or non-profit
organizations, on whether the entity is
recognized by the IRS. The estimated
response time for new Form 7200/18 is
30 minutes and the estimated number of
respondents is 200. Therefore, the
impact of all of the changes on overall
burden estimates for the collection is
neutral.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
these collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimate of the
burden of the information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the information collection on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All comments will become a matter of
public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Studying the Implementation of a
Chronic Care Toolkit and Practice
Coaching In Practices Serving
Vulnerable Populations
An important part of AHRQ’s mission
is to disseminate information and tools
that can support improvement in quality
and safety in the U.S. health care
community. This proposed information
collection supports that part of AHRQ’s
mission by further refining the practice
coaching delivered in conjunction with
a previously developed toolkit,
Implementing Integrating Chronic Care
and Business Strategies in the Safety
Net: A Toolkit for Primary Care
Practices and Clinics. AHRQ requests
that the Office of Management and
Budget approve, under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, AHRQ’s
intention to collect information needed
to determine whether practice coaching
is effective in facilitating adoption of the
Chronic Care Model (CCM) for
improving treatment and management
of chronic medical conditions by
primary care physicians, especially
those who care for underserved
populations. This project is being
conducted pursuant to AHRQ’s
statutory authority to conduct and
support research on health care and on
systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to
quality measurement and improvement
and with respect to clinical practice,
including primary care and practiceoriented research. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(2)
and (4). This project will be conducted
by AHRQ through a contract with the
University of Minnesota.
Although 1500 physician practices in
the U.S. and internationally have been
involved in CCM quality improvement
efforts, most patients still do not receive
their chronic care in accordance with
CCM. One factor affecting CCM
implementation has been that having
teams attend collaborative meetings
(three two-day meetings over a ninemonth period) is burdensome,
especially for under-resourced
providers. An attempt to use the
Internet as a virtual collaborative met
with disappointing results. Another
barrier to adoption of the CCM in
settings that serve vulnerable
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

5081
populations is the scarcity of resources
to implement and sustain the CCM. In
2006 AHRQ contracted with the RAND
Corporation, Group Health’s MacColl
Institute, and the California Health Care
Safety Net Institute (SNI) to develop a
toolkit that informs safety net providers
on how to redesign their systems of care
along the lines of the Chronic Care
Model while attending to their financial
realities. The result was Implementing
Integrating Chronic Care and Business
Strategies in the Safety Net. A Toolkit
for Primary Care Practices and Clinics.
The Toolkit was piloted in two
California safety net clinics.
Recognizing that merely distributing the
Toolkit was unlikely to foster adoption
of CCM, the intervention included six
months of practice coaching delivered
by the MacColl Institute. Practice
Coaches (PC) are health care or related
professionals who help primary care
practices in a variety of quality
improvement and research activities.
PCs made two site visits to each site and
participated in weekly team meetings by
phone. They also interacted with the
sites through e-mail and phone contact.
The lack of documentation available
on coaching led to the development of
a practice coaching manual, which was
funded by AHRQ through a contract
with the RAND Corporation.
Development of the Coaching Manual
entailed conducting a literature review,
interviewing practice coaching experts,
and incorporating evaluation results
from the coaching provided in
conjunction with the Toolkit. The
Coaching Manual was published in the
winter of 2009. The literature review
and interviews revealed that there are a
number of different models of practice
coaching. However, knowledge is scant
about how practice coaching is best
performed, under what conditions
practice coaching is most successful,
and the costs of coaching and being
coached. Pilot testing the Toolkit with a
low-intensity practice coaching strategy
proved insufficient to encourage
practices to use the Toolkit
independently. The Toolkit was
subsequently streamlined based on pilot
sites’ reports that the initial Toolkit was
not easy to use. This project will explore
the implementation of the revised
Toolkit along with a more intensive
practice coaching strategy, providing
lessons on methods to improve chronic
care in clinical practices that serve
vulnerable populations.
Method of Collection
This project will include the following
data collections:

providers, staff and practice coaches
