The period during which applications will be accepted for the performance period beginning on July 1, 2012 will remain identical to the period for the Medicare Shared Savings Program. More information is available on the Advance Payment Model Web site at https:// www.innovations.cms.gov/initiatives/ aco/advance-payment/. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dan Farmer, (410) 786–5497. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES I. Background The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to achieving the three-part aim of better health for populations, better health care for individuals, and lower growth in expenditures through continuous improvement for Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) beneficiaries. One potential mechanism for achieving this goal is for CMS to partner with groups of health care providers of services and suppliers that have a mechanism for shared governance and have formed an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) through which they work together to coordinate care for a specified group of patients. We will pursue such partnerships through complementary efforts, including the Medicare Shared Savings Program and initiatives undertaken by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (Innovation Center). The Advance Payment Model is an Innovation Center initiative designed for participants in the Medicare Shared Savings Program in need of prepayment of expected shared savings to build their capacity to provide high quality, coordinated care and generate cost savings. The Advance Payment Model will test whether and how pre-paying a portion of future shared savings could increase participation in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, and whether advance payments will enhance the ability of ACOs to effectively coordinate care and generate Medicare savings, as well as the speed at which they attain that goal. In the November 2, 2011 Federal Register (76 FR 68012), we published a notice announcing the Advance Payment Model. Additional information about the Advance Payment Model is available on the Advance Payment Model Web site at https:// www.innovations.cms.gov/initiatives/ aco/advance-payment/. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:30 Nov 29, 2011 Jkt 226001 II. Provisions of the Notice This notice announces a new deadline for applications to the Advance Payment Model for the performance period beginning April 1, 2012. We will accept applications to the Advance Payment Model from January 3, 2012 through February 1, 2012. The period during which applications will be accepted for the performance period beginning on July 1, 2012 will remain identical to the period for the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Organizations interested in applying to the Advance Payment Model must also complete an application for the Shared Savings Program. This modified deadline will provide organizations interested in the Advance Payment Model with more time to complete the additional application needed for the Advance Payment Model. Information about the application process and deadlines for the Shared Savings Program is available at https:// www.cms.gov/sharedsavingsprogram. Additional information about the application process for the Advance Payment Model is available on the Advance Payment Model Web site at https://www.innovations.cms.gov/ initiatives/aco/advance-payment/ index.html.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Department of the Interior (Interior) has determined that implementing the Proposed Action described in the Environmental Assessment (EA) will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment and that an environmental impact statement is not required. The proposed action would: 1. Administratively convert up to 12,100 acre-feet of Central Utah Project Bonneville Unit agricultural water, delivered under Block Notice 1A and allotted to the Heber Sub-Area, from agricultural to municipal & industrial use. 2. Expand the Heber Sub-area. 3. Require modifying Block Notice 1A to reflect these administrative changes. Completing this EA would allow the administrative changes but would not automatically convert the water. The actual conversion would be completed by Central Utah Water Conservancy District and Interior consistent with Bureau of Reclamation law over time as requests are received from petitioners and contract holders. 4. Provide for installation and operation of a temporary water-delivery system in the event of an emergency that affects the water supply to the Jordanelle Special Service District (JSSD) Keetley Water Treatment Plant at Jordanelle Reservoir. During an emergency, this system would provide JSSD with a temporary method to receive its contracted portion of the Block Notice 1A water. Because the temporary water-delivery system would be installed on Federal land, Interior would need to issue a license agreement to JSSD as part of the process.
