Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 246 / Friday, December 21, 2012 / Notices these programs currently submit all documentation being requested. Specifically, all contracting organizations must submit annual independently audited financial statements one time per year. The MAOs with a net loss, a negative net worth or both must file three quarterly statements. Currently there are approximately 44 MAOs filing quarterly financial statements. The PDPs must also file three unaudited quarterly financial statements. The PACE organizations are required to file 3 quarterly financial statements for the first three years in the program. Additionally, PACE organizations with a net loss, a negative net worth or both must file statements as well. The information collection request is being revised to include one additional data element for PACE organizations only, Total Subordinated Liabilities. The addition of the new data element will actually reduce the time to analyze the financial standing of PACE organizations because we will no longer have to contact the PACE organizations to establish whether or not the organization’s total liabilities calculation includes subordinated debt. Form Number: CMS–906 (OCN: 0938– 0469); Frequency: Annually, Quarterly; Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profits and Not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 648; Total Annual Responses: 1,281; Total Annual Hours: 428. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Joe Esposito at 410–786–1129. For all other issues call 410–786–1326.) 2. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Enrollment Application for Clinics/ Group Practice and Certain Other Suppliers; Use: The primary function of the CMS–855B enrollment application for Clinics, Group Practices and Certain Other Suppliers is to gather information from the organization that tells us what it is, whether it meets certain qualifications to be a health care supplier, where it renders services and information necessary to establish the correct claims payment. The goal of evaluating and revising the CMS–855B enrollment application is to simplify and clarify the information collection without jeopardizing our need to collect specific information. The majority of the revisions are very minor in nature such as spelling and formatting corrections, removal of duplicate fields and instruction clarification for the organization/group. The Sections and Sub-Sections within the form are also being re-numbered and re-sequenced to create a more logical flow of the data VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:28 Dec 20, 2012 Jkt 229001 collection. In addition, CMS is adding a data collection for an address to mail the periodic request for the revalidation of enrollment information (only if it differs from other addresses currently collected). Other than the revalidation mailing address described above, new data being collected in this revision package is a checkbox indicating whether or not an organization is wholly owned or operated by a hospital, the inclusion of a new supplier type (Centralized Flu Biller) and information on, if applicable, where the supplier stores its patient records electronically. While the CMS–855B is not a new form, this is considered a new information collection request because we are submitting it to OMB for approval under its own OMB control number. Form Number: CMS–855B (OCN: 0938–New); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Individuals and households; Number of Respondents: 31,000; Total Annual Responses: 31,000; Total Annual Hours: 103,000 (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Kim McPhillips at 410–786–5374.

Medicated Feed Mill Licensing Application--21 CFR Part 515 (OMB Control 
Number 0910-0337)--Extension

    The Animal Drug Availability Act (ADAA) of October 9, 1996, amended 
section 512 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to replace the 
system for the approval of specific medicated feed with a general 
licensing system for feed mills. Before passage of the ADAA, medicated 
feed manufacturers were required to obtain approval of Medicated Feed 
Applications (MFAs) in order to manufacture certain types of medicated

applicable medicated feed. The ADAA streamlined the paperwork process 
for gaining approval to manufacture medicated feeds by replacing the 
MFA system with a facility license for each medicated feed 
manufacturing facility. Implementing regulations are at 21 CFR part

    Estimated annual reporting burden on industry is 29 hours as shown 
in table 1. Industry estimates it takes about 15 minutes (.25) to 
submit the application. We estimate 100 original and supplemental 
applications, and voluntary revocations for a total of 25 hours (100 
submissions x .25 (15 minutes)). An additional 4 hours is added for the 
rare notice of opportunity for a hearing to not approve or revoke an 
application. Finally, we estimate 28.5 hours for maintaining and 
retrieving labels as required by 21 CFR 510.305. We estimated .03 hours 
for each of approximately 950 licensees. Total burden for reporting and 
recordkeeping would be 57.5 hours.
