Federal Communications Commission Announces Public Meetings and Invites Comment on the Environmental Effects of Its Antenna Structure Registration Program, 70166-70168 [2010-29005]

Download as PDF erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1 70166 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 221 / Wednesday, November 17, 2010 / Proposed Rules create incentives for health care providers to enhance health care quality and lower costs. One important delivery system reform is the Medicare Shared Savings Program under section 3022 of the Affordable Care Act, which promotes the formation and operation of accountable care organizations (ACOs). Under this provision, ‘‘groups of providers * * * meeting the criteria specified by the Secretary may work together to manage and coordinate care for Medicare * * * beneficiaries through an [ACO].’’ An ACO may receive payments for shared savings if the ACO meets certain quality performance standards and cost savings requirements established by the Secretary. We are developing rulemaking for the establishment of the Shared Savings Program under section 3022 of the Affordable Care Act. In addition, section 3021 of the Affordable Care Act establishes a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) within CMS, which is authorized to test innovative payment and service delivery models to reduce program expenditures while preserving or enhancing the quality of care. We are considering testing innovative payment and delivery system models that complement the Shared Savings Program in the CMMI. In both of these efforts, we are seeking to advance ACO structures that are organized in ways that are patient-centered and foster participation of physicians and other clinicians who are in solo or small practices. We have already conducted substantial outreach and had discussions with and received feedback from a wide array of physician groups, as well as groups representing other clinicians, hospitals, employers, consumers, and other interested parties, about how ACO programs can best be structured. In particular, CMS, along with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Federal Trade Commission hosted a public workshop on October 5, 2010, to discuss the application and enforcement of the antitrust laws, physician selfreferral prohibition, Federal antikickback statute, and civil monetary penalty law to the variety of possible ACO structures under the Shared Savings Program and other innovative payment models that CMMI is authorized to test under section 3021 of the Affordable Care Act. Prior to the public workshop, the three agencies solicited written comments and statements from industry stakeholders regarding a variety of issues, including VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:18 Nov 16, 2010 Jkt 223001 the planned legal structures and business models of ACOs. II. Solicitation of Comments As we develop our initial rulemaking for the Shared Savings Program and begin the development of potential models in the CMMI, we are seeking additional information, particularly from the physician community, on the following questions: • What policies or standards should we consider adopting to ensure that groups of solo and small practice providers have the opportunity to actively participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the ACO models tested by CMMI? • Many small practices may have limited access to capital or other resources to fund efforts from which ‘‘shared savings’’ could be generated. What payment models, financing mechanisms or other systems might we consider, either for the Shared Savings Program or as models under CMMI to address this issue? In addition to payment models, what other mechanisms could be created to provide access to capital? • The process of attributing beneficiaries to an ACO is important to ensure that expenditures, as well as any savings achieved by the ACO, are appropriately calculated and that quality performance is accurately measured. Having a seamless attribution process will also help ACOs focus their efforts to deliver better care and promote better health. Some argue it is necessary to attribute beneficiaries before the start of a performance period, so the ACO can target care coordination strategies to those beneficiaries whose cost and quality information will be used to assess the ACO’s performance; others argue the attribution should occur at the end of the performance period to ensure the ACO is held accountable for care provided to beneficiaries who are aligned to it based upon services they receive from the ACO during the performance period. How should we balance these two points of view in developing the patient attribution models for the Medicare Shared Savings Program and ACO models tested by CMMI? • How should we assess beneficiary and caregiver experience of care as part of our assessment of ACO performance? • The Affordable Care Act requires us to develop patient-centeredness criteria for assessment of ACOs participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program. What aspects of patient-centeredness are particularly important for us to consider and how should we evaluate them? PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 • In order for an ACO to share in savings under the Medicare Shared Savings Program, it must meet a quality performance standard determined by the Secretary. What quality measures should the Secretary use to determine performance in the Shared Savings Program? • What additional payment models should CMS consider in addition to the model laid out in Section 1899(d), either under the authority provided in 1899(i) or the authority under the CMMI? What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of any such alternative payment models?

    To comply with its obligations under the National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Communications Commission is conducting 
a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) of its Antenna Structure 
Registration (ASR) program. The purpose of the PEA is to evaluate the 
potential environmental effects of the Commission's ASR program. The 
Commission is undertaking the PEA in response to the determination of 
the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in American 
Bird Conservancy v. FCC, (516 F.3d 1027 (D.C. Cir. 2008) that 
registered towers may have a significant environmental effect on 
migratory birds. In the course of the PEA, the Commission will consider 
alternatives to address potential environmental effects, and will 
determine whether a more extensive analysis, in the form of a 
programmatic Environmental Impact Statement, may be required under 
NEPA.
    Under the ASR program, owners of antenna structures that are taller 
than 200 feet above ground level or that may interfere with the flight 
path of a nearby airport must register those structures with the FCC. 
The antenna structure owner must obtain painting and lighting 
specifications from the Federal Aviation Administration and include 
those specifications in its registration prior to construction. The ASR 
program allows the FCC to fulfill its statutory responsibility to 
require painting and lighting of antenna structures that may pose a 
hazard to air navigation.

contains information and downloadable documents. The Web site also 
allows individuals to contact the Commission, and will be updated at 
key milestones throughout the study.
    The FCC will hold three scoping meetings for the public to provide 
input to the PEA process. The meetings will be open to the public; 
however, admittance will be limited to the seating available. Each 
scoping meeting will be comprised of an Information Session, a 
Presentation and a Formal Comment Period. Comment forms will be
