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/.

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

Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard is considering new
policy that would align Coast Guard
guidance with the International Code for
the Construction and Equipment of
Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in
Bulk (IBC Code) as it may relate to
oceangoing barges carrying NLS.
The new policy under consideration
by the Coast Guard would provide
affected parties with an equivalent

emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 230 / Wednesday, November 30, 2011 / Notices
means of compliance with the IBC Code.
In crafting this guidance, the Coast
Guard wishes to take into account
public concerns and input. In that
regard, this notice specifically requests
information and public comments
relating to the following topics:
1. Regulation 11.3.1 of the IBC Code
requiring installation of fixed deck foam
systems for all vessels carrying cargoes
with a flashpoint less than 60 degrees
(Celsius).
2. Secondary venting requirements
according to Regulation 8.3 of the IBC
Code.
3. Any additional comments or
concerns regarding the implementation
of the International Convention for the
Prevention of Pollution from Ships
(MARPOL) Annex II for oceangoing
barges carrying NLS.
The Coast Guard believes that a
public meeting would also benefit the
impacted community by providing an
additional forum to raise relevant
issues. This will further enable the
Coast Guard to craft policy that takes
into account public concerns.

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.
