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.
