Proposed Collection; Comment Request; NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education Application, 5181-5182 [2011-1872]

Download as PDF 5181 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 19 / Friday, January 28, 2011 / Notices In 2010, MEPS–IC, available at https://www.meps.ahrq.gov, published the annual 2009 average total single premium per enrolled employee at private-sector establishments that provide health insurance. The figure published was $4,669. This figure is divided by 12-months to determine the cost per month of $389.08. The $389.08 shall be increased or decreased by the percentage change reported by the most recent KFF/HRET, available at https:// www.kff.org. The percentage increase was published at 5 percent. By adding this percentage increase, the calculated average monthly cost of a health insurance policy for 12-month period is $408.53. The Department will periodically (generally on an annual basis) recalculate the average cost of a health insurance policy by obtaining a new figure from the latest MEPS–IC data and updating this figure using the percentage change(s) reported by the most recent data from KFF/HRET or other authoritative source that may be more accurate or appropriate in the future. The updated calculation will be published as a notice in the Federal Register and filed with the Court. Therefore, the Secretary announces that the revised average cost of a health insurance policy under the VICP is $408.53 per month. In accordance with § 100.2, the revised amount was effective upon its delivery by the Secretary to the United States Court of Federal Claims. Such notice was delivered to the Court on January 7, 2011. Dated: January 21, 2011. Mary K. Wakefield, Administrator.

of applicants, the OITE proposes to merge the following:

0925-0299--NIH Intramural Research Training Award, Program
Application
0925-0438--Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP)
0925-0501--Graduate Student Training Program Application
