In addition, the FIRM and FIS report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) announces the launch of the What's In Your Health Record Video Challenge. This challenge is an open call for the public to create and submit short, compelling videos sharing how getting access to your health record and checking the information can help make sure you or your loved one get the best care. Having access to your health record is fundamental to your ability to participate in your health care. Patients and their families have a legal right under the HIPAA Privacy Rule to request to see and get a copy of their health record (``right to access'') from most doctors, hospitals and other health care providers, such as pharmacies and nursing homes, as well as from their health plans. Patients can use that information to better understand their health, to coordinate their care with other health care providers or to help identify possible errors or omissions in their medical records. Patients can get access to their health information through a patient portal, or a personal health record (PHR) or by email. This is the third in a series of Health IT video contests that will occur throughout 2012. The video contests are one way to crowd source stories from the public about how they are benefiting from health information technology (health IT). This is one way ONC is working to motivate and inspire individuals to play a more active role in their health. Each video contest will be a call to action for members of the public to create a short video clip [2 minutes or less] on a particular topic, and will award cash prizes to winners in several categories.

A health care system adapting to the effects of an aging population, growing expenditures, and a diminishing primary care workforce needs the support of a flexible information infrastructure that facilitates innovation in wellness, health care, and public health. Flexibility is critical, since the system will have to function under new policies and in the service of new health care delivery mechanisms, and it will need to incorporate emerging information technologies on an ongoing basis. SMART (Substitutable Medical Apps, Reusable Technologies, one of four Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects funded by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology) capacitates innovation in health care by providing common APIs and standards for electronic medical records and personally controlled health records, enabling them to act as iPhone-like platforms; users can download or delete substitutable apps. Indivo enables individuals to own and manage a complete, secure, digital copy of their health and wellness information, integrated across sites of care and over time. The ``SMART-Indivo Challenge'' is a call to developers to build an Indivo app that provides value to patients using data delivered through the SMART API and its Indivo-specific extensions. The statutory authority for this challenge competition is Section 105 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111- 358).

The Administrator, Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern), has prepared Current and Revised 2012 Power Repayment Studies which show the need for an increase in annual revenues to meet cost recovery criteria. Such increased revenues are needed to cover increased costs associated with operating and maintaining the facilities as well as increased costs associated with compliance requirements of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. Additional revenues are also needed to recover increased costs associated with investments and replacements to the hydroelectric generating facilities. The Administrator has developed a proposed Robert D. Willis rate schedule, which is supported by a power repayment study, to recover the required revenues. The June 2012 Revised Power Repayment Study indicates that the proposed rate schedule would increase annual revenues approximately 15.4 percent from $929,388 to $1,072,332 effective October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2016.\1\
