Pub. L. 111–3). Under ERISA section
701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), PHS Act section
2701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), and section

Revenue Code, as added by CHIPRA, an
employer that maintains a group health
plan in a State that provides medical
assistance under a State Medicaid plan
under title XIX of the Social Security
Act (SSA), or child health assistance
under a State child health plan under
title XXI of the SSA, in the form of
premium assistance for the purchase of

and Health and Human Services shall
develop the initial Model Employer
CHIP Notices under ERISA section
701(f)(3)(B)(i)(II), and the Department of
Labor shall provide such notices to
employers, by February 4, 2010.
Moreover, each employer is required to

such employer’s employees beginning
with the first plan year that begins after
the date on which the initial model
notices are first issued. The ICR relates

Audits of States, Local Governments,
and Non-Profit Organizations; Circular
A–133 Compliance Supplement
Executive Office of the
President, Office of Management and
Budget.
ACTION: Notice of availability of the 2010
Circular A–133 Compliance
Supplement.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
availability of the 2010 Circular A–133
Compliance Supplement. The notice
also offers interested parties an
opportunity to comment on the 2010
Circular A–133 Compliance Supplement
(Supplement). The 2010 Supplement
adds thirteen new programs, including
two programs added to existing clusters.
It deletes two programs and has also
been updated for program changes and
technical corrections. The two deleted
programs are Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 93.794,
Reimbursement of State Costs for
Provision of Part D Drugs, and CFDA
93.703, ARRA-Grants to Health Centers
Program. The CFDA 93.794 program is
no longer active (i.e., no funds are being
spent by recipients), and it has been
removed from the CFDA. The CFDA
93.703 was originally used as a new
CFDA number for tracking purposes for
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (Pub. L. 111–5) and
was clustered with the Community
Health Centers Program (93.224) in
Addendum #1 of the 2009 Compliance
Supplement. However, in fiscal year
2010, the compliance requirements for
this program have substantially
changed, and those requirements are no
longer consistent with the requirements
that apply to the other programs in the
Community Health Centers program
cluster. Therefore, this program is being
dropped from this cluster, and auditors
can consult directly with the
Department of Health and Human
Services for the compliance
requirements for this program (the plan
is for the 2011 Compliance Supplement
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
to include compliance requirements for
this program).
In total, the 2010 Supplement
includes 227 individual programs. A list
of changes to the 2010 Supplement can
be found at APPENDIX V. It updates
APPENDIX VII that provides an audit
alert and compliance requirements
regarding the grant programs funded
under American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009. Due to its
length, the 2010 Supplement is not
included in this Notice. See ADDRESSES
for information about how to obtain a
copy on line or through the Government
Printing Office.
DATES: The 2010 Supplement will apply
to audits of fiscal years beginning after
June 30, 2009 and supersedes the 2009
Supplement. All comments on the 2010
Supplement must be in writing and
received by October 31, 2010. Late
comments will be considered to the
extent practicable.
Due to potential delays in OMB’s
receipt and processing of mail sent
through the U.S. Postal Service, we
encourage respondents to submit
comments electronically to ensure
timely receipt. We cannot guarantee that
comments mailed will be received
before the comment closing date.
