TRICARE Demonstration Project for the Philippines
Document Number: 2011-24901
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-09-28
Agency: Office of the Secretary, Department of Defense
This notice is to advise interested parties of a Military Health System demonstration project entitled ``TRICARE Demonstration Project for the Philippines.'' The purpose of this demonstration is to validate an alternative approach to providing healthcare services for those beneficiaries covered under the TRICARE Standard option in the Philippines, controlling costs, eliminating any balance billing issues, and ensuring that the billing practices comply with regulatory requirements. Under this demonstration, the overseas contractor in the Philippines will establish a dedicated list of providers in the Philippines who will file their claims with the contractor and be reimbursed under an established fee schedule. The providers will adhere to the quality of care requirements of the overseas contract. The beneficiaries will have overall lower costs because these providers will no longer require payments at the time of service nor will they subject beneficiaries to balanced billing of charges. Because of the geographic conditions in the Philippines and the realization that providers of the required specialties are not available in all areas, the contractor will not be required to develop a list of providers in all areas. However, in those areas where the contractor is able to develop a sufficient list of providers then all TRICARE Standard beneficiaries residing in those areas of the Philippines will be required to use these providers in order for their claims to be paid. Notice will be provided to the beneficiaries informing them of the areas participating and not participating in this demonstration.
Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (CBSV) Service
Document Number: 2011-24900
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-09-28
Agency: Social Security Administration, Agencies and Commissions
We provide limited fee-based Social Security number (SSN) verification service to private businesses and other requesters who obtain a valid, signed consent form from the Social Security number holder. We originally published a notice announcing the CBSV service in the Federal Register on August 10, 2007. Based on the consent forms, we verify the number holders' SSNs for the requesting party. The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)), section 1106 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306) and our regulation at 20 CFR 401.100, establish the legal authority for us to provide SSN verifications to third party requesters based on consent. The CBSV process provides the business community and other government entities with consent-based disclosures in high volume. We developed CBSV as a user-friendly, internet-based application with safeguards that will protect the public's information. In addition to the benefit of providing high volume, centralized SSN verification services to the business community in a secure manner, CBSV provides us with cost and workload management benefits. New Information: To use CBSV, interested parties must pay a one- time non-refundable enrollment fee of $5,000. Currently, users also pay a fee of $5.00 per transaction in advance of services. We agreed to calculate our costs periodically for providing CBSV services and adjust the fees as needed. We also agreed to notify our customers who currently use the service and allow them to cancel or continue using the service at the new transaction fee. Based on the most recent cost analysis, we will adjust the fiscal year 2012 fee to $1.05 per transaction. New customers will still be responsible for the one-time $5,000 enrollment fee.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on July 5, 2011 (76 FR 39132). 1. Type of submission, new, revision, or extension: Extension. 2. The title of the information collection: 48 CFR 20, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Acquisition Regulation (NRCAR). 3. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0169. 4. The form number if applicable: None. 5. How often the collection is required: On occasion; one time. 6. Who will be required or asked to report: NRC contractors and potential contractors. 7. An estimate of the number of annual responses: 5,425 responses. 8.

An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 21,579.5 (20,484 reporting plus 1,095.5 recordkeeping). 10. Abstract: The mandatory requirements of the NRCAR implement and supplement the government-wide Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and ensure that the regulations governing the procurement of goods and services within the NRC satisfy the particular needs of the agency. Because of differing statutory authorities among Federal agencies, the FAR permits agencies to issue regulations to implement FAR policies and procedures internally to satisfy the specific need of the agency.
