Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2013 / Notices
requires electronic submission of
modifications for FSS contracts
managed by GSA. Under the
modifications clause, vendors may
request a contract modification by
submitting a request to the Contracting
Officer for approval. At a minimum,
every request shall describe the
proposed change(s) and provide the
rationale for the requested change(s).
The initial clause, previously at GSAR
552.243–72 Modifications (Multiple
Award Schedule), is being reinstated at
GSAR 552.238–81, Modifications
(Federal Supply Schedule).
The alternate version of the clause
implements and mandates electronic
submission of modifications, and only
applies to FSS contracts managed by
GSA. The alternate version of the clause
links to GSA’s electronic tool, eMod at
https://eoffer.gsa.gov/. Use of eMod will
streamline the modification submission
process for both FSS contractors and
contracting officers.
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) does not have access to eMod, and
is therefore not required to comply with
the requirements of the Alternate I
version of GSAR clause 552.238–81,
Modifications (Federal Supply
Schedule). VA will continue to utilize
the basic version of the clause in
management of their FSS contracts.
B. Discussion and Analysis
A notice for this collection was
published in the Federal Register at 78
FR 31879, on May 28, 2013. One
comment was received that was outside
the scope of the notice.
As a result, no change to the burden
estimate for this collection was made.
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the GSAR,
and will have practical utility; whether
our estimate of the public burden of this
collection of information is accurate,
and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in
which we can minimize the burden of
appropriate technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey—
Insurance Component
Employer-sponsored health insurance
is the source of coverage for 78 million
current and former workers, plus many
of their family members, and is a
cornerstone of the U.S. health care
system. The Medical Expenditure Panel
Survey—Insurance Component (MEPS–
IC) measures the extent, cost, and
coverage of employer-sponsored health
insurance on an annual basis. These
statistics are produced at the National,
State, and sub-State (metropolitan area)
level for private industry. Statistics are
also produced for State and Local
governments.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To provide data for Federal
policymakers evaluating the effects of
National and State health care reforms.
(2) To provide descriptive data on the
current employer-sponsored health
insurance system and data for modeling
the differential impacts of proposed
health policy initiatives.
(3) To supply critical State and
National estimates of health insurance
spending for the National Health
Accounts and Gross Domestic Product.
(4) To support evaluation of the
impact on health insurance offered by
small employers due to the
implementation of Small Business
Health Options Program (SHOP)
exchanges under the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),
through the addition of a longitudinal
component to the sample.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through the Bureau of the
Census, pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory
authority to conduct and support
research on healthcare and on systems
for the delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42

Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collections for both
private sector and State and local
government employers will be
implemented:
(1) Prescreener Questionnaire—The
purpose of the Prescreener
Questionnaire, which is collected via
telephone, varies depending on the
insurance status of the establishment
contacted. (Establishment is defined as
a single, physical location in the private
sector and a governmental unit in state
and local governments.) For
establishments that do not offer health
insurance to their employees, the
prescreener is used to collect basic
information such as number of
employees. Collection is completed for
these establishments through this
telephone call. For establishments that
do offer health insurance, contact name
and address information is collected
that is used for the mailout of the
establishment and plan questionnaires.
Obtaining this contact information helps
ensure that the questionnaires are
directed to the person in the
establishment best equipped to
complete them.
(2) Establishment Questionnaire—The
purpose of the mailed Establishment
Questionnaire is to obtain general
information from employers that
provide health insurance to their
employees. Information such as total
active enrollment in health insurance,
other employee benefits, demographic
characteristics of employees, and retiree
health insurance is collected through
the establishment questionnaire.
(3) Plan Questionnaire—The purpose
of the mailed Plan Questionnaire is to
collect plan-specific information on
each plan (up to four plans) offered by
establishments that provide health
insurance to their employees. This
questionnaire obtains information on
total premiums, employer and employee
contributions to the premium, and plan
enrollment for each type of coverage
offered—single, employee-plus-one, and
family—within a plan. It also asks for
information on deductibles, copays, and
other plan characteristics.
(4) Longitudinal Sample—For 2014,
an additional sample of small employers
(those with 50 or fewer employees) will
be included in the collection. This
sample, called the Longitudinal Sample
(LS), is designed to measure the impact
on small employers of the SHOP
exchanges that will become available
that year. The LS will consist of 3,000
small, private-sector employers that
responded to the 2013 MEPS–IC regular
survey. These employers will be
surveyed again in 2014—using the same
collection methods as the regular
survey—in order to track changes in
their health insurance offerings,
characteristics, and costs.
The primary objective of the MEPS–
IC is to collect information on employer-
sponsored health insurance. Such
information is needed in order to
provide the tools for Federal, State, and
academic researchers to evaluate current
and proposed health policies and to
support the production of important
statistical measures for other Federal
agencies.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to provide the
requested data. The Prescreener
questionnaire will be completed by
32,675 respondents and takes about 51⁄2
minutes to complete. The Establishment
questionnaire will be completed by
28,365 respondents and takes about 23
minutes to complete. The Plan
questionnaire will be completed by
23,813 respondents and will require an
average of 2.2 responses per respondent.
Each Plan questionnaire takes about 11
minutes to complete. The total
annualized burden hours are estimated
to be 23,150 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden associated with
the respondents’ time to participate in
this data collection. The annualized cost
burden is estimated to be $679,221.
The estimates of annualized burden
hours and costs have increased slightly
relative to the 60-Day Notice due to the
inclusion of the Longitudinal Sample in
the estimates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey--Insurance Component
Employer-sponsored health insurance is the source of coverage for
78 million current and former workers, plus many of their family
members, and is a cornerstone of the U.S. health care system. The
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey--Insurance Component (MEPS-IC)
measures the extent, cost, and coverage of employer-sponsored health
insurance on an annual basis. These statistics are produced at the
National, State, and sub-State (metropolitan area) level for private
industry. Statistics are also produced for State and Local governments.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To provide data for Federal policymakers evaluating the effects
of National and State health care reforms.
(2) To provide descriptive data on the current employer-sponsored
health insurance system and data for modeling the differential impacts
of proposed health policy initiatives.
(3) To supply critical State and National estimates of health
insurance spending for the National Health Accounts and Gross Domestic
Product.
(4) To support evaluation of the impact on health insurance offered
by small employers due to the implementation of Small Business Health
Options Program (SHOP) exchanges under the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA), through the addition of a longitudinal
component to the sample.
This study is being conducted by AHRQ through the Bureau of the
Census, pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support
research on healthcare and on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness,
efficiency, appropriateness and value of healthcare services and with
respect to quality measurement and improvement. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1)
and (2).
[[Page 57158]]
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the following data collections
for both private sector and State and local government employers will
be implemented:
(1) Prescreener Questionnaire--The purpose of the Prescreener
Questionnaire, which is collected via telephone, varies depending on
the insurance status of the establishment contacted. (Establishment is
defined as a single, physical location in the private sector and a
governmental unit in state and local governments.) For establishments
that do not offer health insurance to their employees, the prescreener
is used to collect basic information such as number of employees.
Collection is completed for these establishments through this telephone
call. For establishments that do offer health insurance, contact name
and address information is collected that is used for the mailout of
the establishment and plan questionnaires. Obtaining this contact
information helps ensure that the questionnaires are directed to the
person in the establishment best equipped to complete them.
(2) Establishment Questionnaire--The purpose of the mailed
Establishment Questionnaire is to obtain general information from
employers that provide health insurance to their employees. Information
such as total active enrollment in health insurance, other employee
benefits, demographic characteristics of employees, and retiree health
insurance is collected through the establishment questionnaire.
(3) Plan Questionnaire--The purpose of the mailed Plan
Questionnaire is to collect plan-specific information on each plan (up
to four plans) offered by establishments that provide health insurance
to their employees. This questionnaire obtains information on total
premiums, employer and employee contributions to the premium, and plan
enrollment for each type of coverage offered--single, employee-plus-
one, and family--within a plan. It also asks for information on
deductibles, copays, and other plan characteristics.
(4) Longitudinal Sample--For 2014, an additional sample of small
employers (those with 50 or fewer employees) will be included in the
collection. This sample, called the Longitudinal Sample (LS), is
designed to measure the impact on small employers of the SHOP exchanges
that will become available that year. The LS will consist of 3,000
small, private-sector employers that responded to the 2013 MEPS-IC
regular survey. These employers will be surveyed again in 2014--using
the same collection methods as the regular survey--in order to track
changes in their health insurance offerings, characteristics, and
costs.
The primary objective of the MEPS-IC is to collect information on
employer-sponsored health insurance. Such information is needed in
order to provide the tools for Federal, State, and academic researchers
to evaluate current and proposed health policies and to support the
production of important statistical measures for other Federal
agencies.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated annualized burden hours for the
respondent's time to provide the requested data. The Prescreener
questionnaire will be completed by 32,675 respondents and takes about
5\1/2\ minutes to complete. The Establishment questionnaire will be
completed by 28,365 respondents and takes about 23 minutes to complete.
The Plan questionnaire will be completed by 23,813 respondents and will
require an average of 2.2 responses per respondent. Each Plan
questionnaire takes about 11 minutes to complete. The total annualized
burden hours are estimated to be 23,150 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated annualized cost burden associated
with the respondents' time to participate in this data collection. The
annualized cost burden is estimated to be $679,221.
The estimates of annualized burden hours and costs have increased
slightly relative to the 60-Day Notice due to the inclusion of the
Longitudinal Sample in the estimates.
