DELTA FOCUS awardees will use the
information collection to manage and
coordinate their activities and to
improve their efforts to prevent IPV.
The PMIS will collect a limited
amount of information in identifiable
form (IIF) for key program staff (e.g.,
Executive Director). Only names and
professional contact information will be
collected, limiting the potential negative
impact this data collection might have
on the privacy of respondents. No
personal contact information will be
collected. All respondents will be state
and territorial domestic violence
coalitions. The time commitments for
data entry and training are greatest
during the initial population of the
PMIS, typically in the first six months
of funding. Estimated burden for the
first-time population of the PMIS is
fifteen hours. Semi-Annual Reporting is
estimated at three hours per respondent.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

health insurance. Administration and
oversight of these programs involves the
following: (1) Furnishing information to
E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 160 / Friday, August 17, 2012 / Notices
Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries,
health care providers, and the public;
and (2) maintaining effective
communications with CMS regional
offices, State governments, State
Medicaid agencies, State survey
agencies, various providers of health
care, all Medicare contractors that
process claims and pay bills, National
Association of Insurance Commissioners
(NAIC), health insurers, and other
stakeholders. To implement the various
statutes on which the programs are
based, we issue regulations under the
authority granted to the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services under sections 1102, 1871,
1902, and related provisions of the
Social Security Act (the Act) and Public
Health Service Act. We also issue
various manuals, memoranda, and
statements necessary to administer and
oversee the programs efficiently.
Section 1871(c) of the Act requires
that we publish a list of all Medicare
manual instructions, interpretive rules,
statements of policy, and guidelines of
general applicability not issued as
regulations at least every 3 months in
the Federal Register.

II. Revised Format for the Quarterly
Issuance Notices
While we are publishing the quarterly
notice required by section 1871(c) of the
Act, we will no longer republish
duplicative information that is available
to the public elsewhere. We believe this
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:13 Aug 16, 2012
Jkt 226001
approach is in alignment with CMS’
commitment to the general principles of
the President’s Executive Order 13563
released January 2011entitled
‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review,’’ which promotes modifying
and streamlining an agency’s regulatory
program to be more effective in
achieving regulatory objectives. Section
6 of Executive Order 13563 requires
agencies to identify regulations that may
be ‘‘outmoded, ineffective, insufficient,
or excessively burdensome, and to
modify, streamline, expand or repeal
them in accordance with what has been
learned.’’ This approach is also in
alignment with the President’s Open
Government and Transparency Initiative
that establishes a system of
transparency, public participation, and
collaboration.
Therefore, this quarterly notice
provides only the specific updates that
have occurred in the 3-month period
along with a hyperlink to the full listing
that is available on the CMS Web site or
the appropriate data registries that are
used as our resources. This information
is the most current up-to-date
information and will be available earlier
than we publish our quarterly notice.
We believe the Web site list provides
more timely access for beneficiaries,
providers, and suppliers. We also
believe the Web site offers a more
convenient tool for the public to find
the full list of qualified providers for
PO 00000

these specific services and offers more
flexibility and ‘‘real time’’ accessibility.
In addition, many of the Web sites have
listservs; that is, the public can
subscribe and receive immediate
notification of any updates to the Web
site. These listservs avoid the need to
check the Web site, as notification of
updates is automatic and sent to the
subscriber as they occur. If assessing a
Web site proves to be difficult, the
contact person listed can provide
information.
III. How To Use the Notice
This notice is organized into 15
addenda so that a reader may access the
subjects published during the quarter
covered by the notice to determine
whether any are of particular interest.
We expect this notice to be used in
concert with previously published
notices. Those unfamiliar with a
description of our Medicare manuals
should view the manuals at https://
www.cms.gov/manuals.

Title: DHHS/ACF/OPRE Head Start
Classroom-based Approaches and
Resources for Emotion and Social skill
promotion (CARES) project: Tracking
Participants.
OMB No.: 0970–0364.
Description: The Head Start
Classroom-based Approaches and
Resources for Emotion and Social skill
promotion (CARES) project is an
evaluation of three social emotional
program enhancements within Head
Start settings serving three- and fouryear-old children. This project focuses
on identifying the central features of
effective programs to provide the
information federal policy makers and
Head Start providers will need if they
are to increase Head Start’s capacity to
improve the social and emotional skills
and school readiness of preschool age
children. The Head Start CARES project
completed data collection for cohort (1)
4-year-olds and cohort (2) 3-year-olds in
spring of 2011 and cohort (2) 4-year-olds
in the spring of 2012.
ACF is proposing to collect
information necessary to identify
CARES study respondents’ current
location and follow-up with
respondents until the children reach
third grade. In support of an
examination of third grade outcomes,
information must be collected from
parents or guardians until the third
grade year. Therefore, in the spring of
2013 tracking of all children will be
necessary, in the spring of 2014 for the
three- and four-year-old children in
cohort 2 only, and in the spring of 2015
the three-year-olds in cohort 2 only. To
enable the opportunity to conduct data
collection in 3rd grade, complete
tracking information on the full sample,
both ages and cohorts, for all years until
third grade is necessary. In addition to
location and contact information, a
small set of additional items will
provide information on the parents’
perception of the children’s well-being.
Respondents: The respondents to the
tracking phone calls will be low-income
parents and their Head Start children.
This is a three-year information
collection request.

Administration and oversight of these programs involves the following:

Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, health care providers, and the

agencies, various providers of health care, all Medicare contractors
that process claims and pay bills, National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC), health insurers, and other stakeholders. To
implement the various statutes on which the programs are based, we
issue regulations under the authority granted to the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services under sections 1102, 1871,
1902, and related provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act) and
Public Health Service Act. We also issue various manuals, memoranda,
and statements necessary to administer and oversee the programs
efficiently.
Section 1871(c) of the Act requires that we publish a list of all
Medicare manual instructions, interpretive rules, statements of policy,
and guidelines of general applicability not issued as regulations at
least every 3 months in the Federal Register.
II. Revised Format for the Quarterly Issuance Notices
While we are publishing the quarterly notice required by section
1871(c) of the Act, we will no longer republish duplicative information
that is available to the public elsewhere. We believe this approach is
in alignment with CMS' commitment to the general principles of the
President's Executive Order 13563 released January 2011entitled
``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,'' which promotes
modifying and streamlining an agency's regulatory program to be more
effective in achieving regulatory objectives. Section 6 of Executive
Order 13563 requires agencies to identify regulations that may be
``outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and
to modify, streamline, expand or repeal them in accordance with what
has been learned.'' This approach is also in alignment with the
President's Open Government and Transparency Initiative that
establishes a system of transparency, public participation, and
collaboration.
Therefore, this quarterly notice provides only the specific updates
that have occurred in the 3-month period along with a hyperlink to the
full listing that is available on the CMS Web site or the appropriate
data registries that are used as our resources. This information is the
most current up-to-date information and will be available earlier than
we publish our quarterly notice. We believe the Web site list provides
more timely access for beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers. We also
believe the Web site offers a more convenient tool for the public to
find the full list of qualified providers for these specific services
and offers more flexibility and ``real time'' accessibility. In
addition, many of the Web sites have listservs; that is, the public can
subscribe and receive immediate notification of any updates to the Web
site. These listservs avoid the need to check the Web site, as
notification of updates is automatic and sent to the subscriber as they
occur. If assessing a Web site proves to be difficult, the contact
person listed can provide information.
III. How To Use the Notice
This notice is organized into 15 addenda so that a reader may
access the subjects published during the quarter covered by the notice
to determine whether any are of particular interest. We expect this
notice to be used in concert with previously published notices. Those
unfamiliar with a description of our Medicare manuals should view the
manuals at https://www.cms.gov/manuals.
