Office Of The Secretary
Notice of Interest Rate on Overdue
Debts
Section 30.18 of the Department of
Health and Human Services’ claims
collection regulations (45 CFR part 30)
provides that the Secretary shall charge
an annual rate of interest, which is
determined and fixed by the Secretary
of the Treasury after considering private
consumer rates of interest on the date
that the Department of Health and
Human Services becomes entitled to
recovery. The rate cannot be lower than
the Department of Treasury’s current
value of funds rate or the applicable rate
determined from the ‘‘Schedule of
Certified Interest Rates with Range of
Maturities’’ unless the Secretary waives
interest in whole or part, or a different
rate is prescribed by statute, contract, or
repayment agreement. The Secretary of
the Treasury may revise this rate
quarterly. The Department of Health and
Human Services publishes this rate in
the Federal Register.
The current rate of 10 3⁄8%, as fixed
by the Secretary of the Treasury, is
certified for the quarter ended
September 30, 2012. This interest rate is
effective until the Secretary of the
Treasury notifies the Department of
Health and Human Services of any
change.

Proposed Project
Early Hearing Detection and
Intervention– Pediatric Audiology Links
to Service (EHDI–PALS) Facility
Survey—New—National Center on Birth
Defects and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Human Development
and Disability, located within NCBDDD,
promotes the health of babies, children,
and adults, with a focus on preventing
birth defects and developmental
disabilities and optimizing the health
outcomes of those with disabilities.
Since the passage of the Early Hearing
Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Act,
97% of newborn infants are now
screened for hearing loss prior to
hospital discharge. However, many of
these infants have not received needed
hearing test and follow up services after
their hospital discharges. The 2009
national average loss to follow-up/loss
to documentation rate is at 45%. This
rate remains an area of critical concern
for state EHDI programs and CDC–EHDI
team’s goal of timely diagnosis by 3
months of age and intervention by 6
months of age. Many states cite the lack
of audiology resource as the main factor
behind the high loss to follow up. To
compound the problem, many pediatric
audiologists may be proficient
evaluating children age 5 and older but
are not proficient with diagnosing
infants or younger children because
children age 5 and younger requires a
different skill set. To date no existing
literature or database is available to help
states verify and quantify their states’
true follow up capacity.

EHDI–PALS is a project
conceptualized by the CDC–EHDI team
with input from an advisory group of
external partners. EHDI–PALs
workgroup has broad representation
from American Speech-LanguageHearing Association (ASHA), American
Academy of Audiology (AAA), Joint
Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH),
National Centre for Hearing Assessment
and Management (NCHAM), Directors of
Speech and Hearing Programs in State
Health & Welfare Agencies
(DSHPSHWA), Healthcare Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA),
University of Maine Center for Research
and Evaluation, and Hands & Voices
(H&V). Meeting since April 2010, the
EHDI–PALS workgroup has sought
consensus on the loss to follow up/loss
to documentation issue facing the EHDI
programs. A survey, based on standard
of care practice, was developed for state
EHDI programs to quantify the pediatric
audiology resource distribution within
ASHA’s biannual membership survey
(available in ASHA.org) we estimate
approximately 1500 audiologists will
respond to the survey. To minimize
burden and improve convenience, the
survey will be available via a secure
password protected Web site. Placing
the survey on the Internet ensures
convenient, on-demand access by the
audiologists. Financial cost is
minimized because no mailing fee will
be associated with sending or
responding to this survey.
It is estimated that potentially 2000
audiologists will read through the
purpose statement of this survey located
on page one to decide whether or not to
complete the survey. It is estimated that
potentially 1500 audiologists will
complete the survey, which will average
9 minutes per respondent. The
estimated annual burden is 258 hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
their state, particularly audiology
facilities that are equipped to provide
follow up services for children age 5
and younger. The survey will also
capture how often providers report
diagnostic hearing test results to their
state EHDI jurisdiction.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
collect audiology facility information
from audiologists or facility managers
over a one-year period. The survey will
allow CDC–EHDI team and state EHDI
programs to compile a systematic,
quantifiable distribution of audiology
facilities and the capacity of each
facility to provide services for children
age 5 and younger. The data collected
will also allow the CDC–EHDI team to
analyze facility distribution data to
improve technical assistance to State
EHDI programs.
Respondents will all be audiologists
who manage a facility or provide
audiologic care for children age 5 and
younger. Based on calculation from
