Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2011 / Notices
Entities cannot implement ICD–10
standards until they are in compliance
with Version 5010; the interim
milestone for ICD–10 is to begin
compliance activities (gap analysis,
design, development, internal testing)
by January 2011.
CMS has developed an education and
communication campaign to support the
adoption of and transition to Version
5010 and ICD–10. The education and
communication activities will be
targeted towards the millions of
professionals across the health care
industry who must take steps to prepare
for the implementation of the new codes
and transaction standards. CMS is
requesting Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval to conduct
survey research to monitor the health
care industry’s awareness of, and
preparation for, the transition to Version
5010 and ICD–10. The aggregated data
obtained through the survey will help
inform CMS outreach and education
efforts to help affected entities (health
care providers, health plans,
clearinghouses, and then vendors who
service them) meet interim milestones
and achieve timely compliance so that
they can continue to process HIPAA
transactions without interruption.
CMS has contracted to conduct a
tracking survey of populations charged
with implementing Version 5010 and
ICD–10 electronic transaction
processing, specifically payers (health
insurance plans and managed care
organizations), providers (hospitals and
primary care providers), and vendors
(software providers, third-party billers
and clearinghouses). A selfadministered web-based survey will be
the data collection. The data collection
field period is expected to be four weeks
in Summer 2011. Form Number: CMS–
10381 (OMB#: 0938–NEW); Frequency:
Once; Affected Public: Business or other
for-profits and Not-for-profit
institutions; Number of Respondents:
600; Total Annual Responses: 600; Total
Annual Hours: 150. (For policy

3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Annual Limits
Waiver Online Application Form; Use:
Under section 2711(a)(2) of the Public
Health Service Act, as amended by the
Affordable Care Act section 1302(b),
The Secretary of Health and Human
Services is required to impose
restrictions on the dollar value of
essential benefits provided by new or
existing group health plans or
individual policies in the market

between September 23, 2010 and
January 1, 2014. The interim final
regulations published June 28, 2010 (45
CFR 147.126) give the Secretary the
authority to waive these restricted
annual limits if compliance would
result in a significant increase in
premium or significant decrease in
access to benefits for those already
covered. CMS is in the process of
evaluating applications for waivers of
annual limits and seeks to publish an
updated Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to
standardize and simplify the data
collection process. Applicants must fill
out (1) spreadsheet per application. The
spreadsheet is a mandatory component
of each waiver application necessary to
fulfill the statutory requirements under
section 2711(a)(2) of the Public Health
Service Act. The information collected
includes applicant contact information;
information about the annual limit(s) on
the overall plan or policy and on
essential health benefits (as defined by
the Affordable Care Act section
1302(b)); information about plan design
such as copayment, coinsurance, and
deductibles; financial projections by
enrollee tier; and a description of how
a significant decrease in access to
benefits would result from compliance
with section 2711(a)(2) of the Affordable
Care Act. This information is required to
accurately and objectively assess
whether compliance with the restricted
annual limits would result in the
aforementioned significant increase in
premium or significant decrease in
access to benefits, on which the grant of
a waiver is conditioned in the interim
final regulations. The updated
spreadsheet contains a more detailed
description of what values should be
entered into each cell. This description
should save applicants time when
completing the spreadsheet initially,
and it should lessen the need for
applicants to go back and correct
mistakes after submission. Form

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Child and Family Services Plan
(CFSP), Annual Progress and Servicers
Review (ASPR), and Annual Budget
Expenses Request and Estimated
Expenditures (CFS–101).
OMB No.: 0980–0047.
Description
Under title IV–B, subparts 1 and 2, of
the Social Security Act (the Act), States,
Territories, and Tribes are required to
submit a Child and Family Services
Plan (CFSP). The CFSP lays the
groundwork for a system of coordinated,
integrated, and culturally relevant
family services for the subsequent five
years (45 CFR 1357.15(a)(1)). The CFSP
outlines initiatives and activities the
State, Tribe or territory will carry out in
administering programs and services to
promote the safety, permanency, and
well-being of children and families. By
June 30 of each year, States, Territories,
and Tribes are also required to submit
an Annual Progress and Services Report
(APSR) and a financial report called the
CFS–101. The APSR is a Yearly report
that discusses progress made by a State,
Territory or Tribe in accomplishing the
goals and objectives cited in its CFSP
(45 CFR 1357.16(a)). The APSR contains
new and updated information about
service needs and organizational
capacities throughout the five-year plan
period. The CFS–101 has three parts.
Part I is an annual budget request for the
upcoming fiscal year. Part II includes a
summary of planned expenditures by
E:\FR\FM\17JNN1.SGM
17JNN1
35448
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2011 / Notices
program area for the upcoming fiscal
year, the estimated number of
individuals or families to be served, and
the geographical service area. Part III
includes actual expenditures by
program area, numbers of families and
individuals served by program area, and
the geographic areas served for the last
complete fiscal year.
The Child and Family Services
Improvement Act of 2006 amended Title
IV–B, subparts 1 and 2, adding a
number of requirements that affect
reporting through the APSR and the
CFS–101. Of particular note, the law
added a provision requiring States
(including Puerto Rico and the District
of Columbia) to report data on
caseworker visits (section 424(e) of the
Act). States must provide annual data
on (1) the percentage of children in
foster care under the responsibility of
the State who were visited on a monthly
basis by the caseworker handling the
case of the child; and (2) the percentage
of the visits that occurred in the
residence of the child. In addition, by
June 30, 2008, States must set target
percentages and establish strategies to
meet the goal that; by October 1, 2011;
at least 90 percent of the children in
foster care are visited by their
caseworkers on a monthly basis and that
the majority of these visits occur in the
residence of the child (section
424(e)(2)(A) of the Act).
Respondents
States, Territories, and Tribes must
complete the CFSP, APSR, and CFS–
101. Tribes and territories are exempted
from the monthly caseworker visits
reporting requirement of the APSR.
There are approximately 180 Tribal
entities that are eligible for IV–B
funding. There are 52 States (including
Puerto Rico and the District of
Columbia) that must complete the CFSP,
APSR, and CFS–101. There are a total of
232 possible respondents.

The Child and Family Services Improvement Act of 2006 amended Title
