Health Resources and Services
Administration
National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program: Revised Amount of the
Average Cost of a Health Insurance
Policy
The Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) is publishing an
updated monetary amount of the
average cost of a health insurance policy
as it relates to the National Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
Section 100.2 of the VICP’s
implementing regulation (42 CFR Part
100) states that the revised amounts of
an average cost of a health insurance
policy, as determined by the Secretary,
are to be published periodically in a
notice in the Federal Register and filed
with the United States Court of Federal
Claims (the Court). This figure is
calculated using the most recent
Medical Expenditure Panel SurveyInsurance Component (MEPS–IC) data
available as the baseline for the average
monthly cost of a health insurance
policy. This baseline is adjusted by the
annual percentage increase/decrease
obtained from the most recent annual
Kaiser Family Foundation and Health
Research and Educational Trust (KFF/
HRET) Employer Health Benefits survey
or other authoritative source that may be
more accurate or appropriate.
In 2013, MEPS–IC, available at
www.meps.ahrq.gov, published the
annual 2012 average total single
premium per enrolled employee at
private-sector establishments that
provide health insurance. The figure
published was $5,384. This figure is
divided by 12 months to determine the
cost per month of $448.67. The $448.67
shall be increased or decreased by the
percentage change reported by the most
recent KFF/HRET, available at
www.kff.org. The percentage increase
from 2012 to 2013, was published at 5
percent. By adding this percentage

increase, the calculated average monthly
cost of a health insurance policy is
$471.10 for 2013.
Therefore, the Secretary announces
that the revised average cost of a health
insurance policy under the VICP is
$471.10 per month. In accordance with
§ 100.2, the revised amount was
effective upon its delivery by the
Secretary to the Court. Such notice was
delivered to the Court on November 21,
2013.
Dated: December 26, 2013.

Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment
Request: Questionnaire Cognitive
Interviewing and Pretesting (NCI)
In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Cancer Institute (NCI),
National Institutes of Health (NIH), will

Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
are invited on one or more of the
following points: (1) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

(NCI), 0925–0589, Expiration Date 4/30/
2014, REVISION, National Cancer
Institute (NCI), National Institutes of

Need and Use of Information
Collection: For many surveys and selfreport-based data collection efforts, it is
advantageous to the government if
development follows a pretesting
sequence equivalent to that used at
National Center for Health Statistics or
the Census Bureau. For example, the
Health Information National Trends
DATES:
Survey (HINTS: OMB No. 0925–0538)
has undergone multiple cycles of
cognitive testing to refine both the
questionnaire, and supporting materials
such as advance letters and brochures.
The types of activities covered by this
Generic request include: (1) Survey
material development and pretesting
based on cognitive interviewing
methodology and use of focus groups,
(2) Research on the cognitive aspects of
survey methodology, (3) Research on
computer-user interface design for
computer-assisted instruments, also
known as Usability Testing, (4) Pilot
Household interviews are pilot tests
(either personal, telephone, or Webbased) conducted with respondents
using professional field interviewers;
and (5) Formative research that depends
on the use of interviewing techniques to
develop products such as research
priorities, or expert consensus on best
practices.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
3,600.
