other processes that the Secretary
determines. CMS, via the TrOOP
facilitation contractor, automated the
transfer of beneficiary coverage
information when a beneficiary changes
Part D plans. This information is
necessary to assist with coordination of
prescription drug benefits provided to
the Medicare beneficiary. Refer to the
crosswalk document for a list of the
current changes. Form Number: CMS–

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Participating Physician or Supplier
Agreement; Form No.: CMS–460 (OMB#
0938–0373); Use: The CMS–460 is the
agreement a physician, supplier or their
authorized official signs to participate in
Medicare Part B. By signing the
agreement to participate in Medicare,
the physician, supplier or their
authorized official agrees to accept the
Medicare-determined payment for
Medicare covered services as payment
in full and to charge the Medicare Part
B beneficiary no more than the
applicable deductible or coinsurance for
the covered services. For purposes of
this explanation, the term a supplier
means any person or entity that may bill
Medicare for Part B services (e.g. DME
supplier, nurse practitioner, supplier of
diagnostic tests) except a Medicare
provider of services (e.g. hospital),
which must participate to be paid by
Medicare for covered care.
There are additional benefits
associated with payment for services
paid under the Medicare fee schedule.
Payments made under the Medicare fee
schedule for physician services to
participating physicians and suppliers
are based on 100 percent of the
Medicare fee schedule amount, while
the Medicare fee schedule payment for
physician services by nonparticipating
physicians and suppliers is based on 95
percent of the fee schedule amount.
Physicians and suppliers who do not
participate in Medicare are subject to
limits on their actual charges for
unassigned claims for physician
services. These limits, known as
limiting charges, cannot exceed 115
percent of the non-participant fee
schedule, which is set at 95 percent of
the full fee schedule amount. In

addition, if a physician or supplier does
not accept assignment on a claim for
Medicare payment, the physician or
supplier must collect payment from the
beneficiary. If the physician or supplier
accepts assignment on the claim,
Medicare pays its share of the payment
directly to the physician or supplier,
resulting in faster and more certain
payment. Frequency: Reporting, Other—

Public: Business or other for-profit;
Number of Respondents: 8,000; Total
Annual Responses: 8,000; Total Annual
Hours: 2,000. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact April
Billingsley at 410–786–0410. For all
other issues call 410–786–1326.)
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: Survey to
Inform the Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP) National Outreach &
Education Campaign; Form No.: CMS–
10318 (OMB# 0938–New); Use: The
Children’s Health Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA or
Pub. L. 111–3) reauthorized the
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) through FY 2013. It will preserve
coverage for the millions of children
who rely on CHIP today and provide the
resources for States to reach millions of
additional uninsured children. This
legislation will help ensure the health
and well-being of our nation’s children.
To support this legislation and to help
people who would benefit from CHIP
make more informed decisions, CMS
will be conducting outreach. The
outreach will employ numerous
communications channels to educate
people who would benefit from CHIP
concerning the program benefits,
eligibility and enrollment requirements,
utilization, and retention. As part of the
outreach, CMS will seek to increase
awareness, enrollment and retention in
CHIP for the eligible audiences. The
primary target audience for the outreach
includes parents and guardians of
potentially eligible children as well as
pregnant women. Secondary audiences
are information intermediaries
including State, local, and tribal
governments, educators (including nonparental caregivers), health care
providers/social workers, national and
local partners. The challenge is reaching
the population segments that have
access barriers to information including
language, literacy, location, and culture
to understand health insurance. To
support the outreach and education,
CMS needs to conduct survey research
to be able to effectively reach the target
audiences. Frequency: Reporting—Once;

Comment Request
Title: Form CB–496. Title IV–E
Programs Quarterly Financial Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0205.
Description: Through FY 2008, only
State agencies were responsible for
administering the Foster Care and
Adoption Assistance Programs under
title IV–E of the Social Security Act.
With the enactment of Public Law 110–
351, the ‘‘Fostering Connections to
Success and Increasing Adoptions Act
E:\FR\FM\18MYN1.SGM
18MYN1
27789
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 18, 2010 / Notices
of 2008,’’ title IV–E was expanded,
effective with FY 2009, to include a
third program, Guardianship Assistance,
and was further expanded, effective
with FY 2010, to include Tribes, tribal
organizations and consortia as
additional grantees.
Ultimately, the combined effect of
these changes will be to significantly
increase the number of grantees, the
number of grant awards and the
required amount of financial reporting.
In recognition of these substantial
program revisions and to accommodate
these changes, the quarterly financial
report has been revised, redesigned and
re-designated as Form CB–496, the
‘‘Title IV–E Programs Quarterly
Financial Report.’’
The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) provides Federal
funding at the rate of 50 percent for
most administrative and other related
costs and at enhanced rates ranging
from 55 to 75 percent for training costs
as detailed in Federal statute and
regulations. This form is submitted
quarterly by each State and Tribe to
estimate the funding needs for the
upcoming fiscal quarter and to report
expenditures for the fiscal quarter just
ended. The information collected in this
report is used by this agency to calculate
quarterly Federal grant awards and to
enable oversight of the financial
management of the programs.
Comments concerning these revisions
were received from both Federal and
grantee staffs by the ACF Office of
Grants Management, both directly and
in response to an earlier Federal
Register Notice (74 FR 22749, May 14,
2009) that provided many useful
recommendations and suggestions,
many of which were incorporated into
the final draft product.
Respondents: State and Tribal title
