SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Innovation (Innovation
Center) is interested in identifying
models designed to improve care for
beneficiaries with end-stage renal
disease (ESRD). To promote seamless
and integrated care for beneficiaries
with ESRD, we are developing a
comprehensive care delivery model to
emphasize coordination of a full-range
of clinical and non-clinical services
across providers, suppliers, and settings.
Through the Comprehensive ESRD Care
Model, we seek to identify ways to
improve the coordination and quality of
care for this population, while lowering
total per-capita expenditures to the
Medicare program. We anticipate that
the Comprehensive ESRD Care Model
would result in improved health
outcomes for beneficiaries with ESRD
regarding the functional status, quality
of life, and overall well-being, as well as
increased beneficiary and caregiver
engagement, and lower costs to
Medicare through improved care
coordination.
On February 6, 2013, we published a
notice in the Federal Register
announcing a request for applications
from organizations to participate in the
testing of the Comprehensive ESRD Care
Model, for a period beginning in 2013
and ending in 2016, with a possible
extension into subsequent years. In that
notice, we stated that organizations
interested in applying to participate in
the testing of the Comprehensive ESRD
Care Model must submit a non-binding
letter of intent by March 15, 2013, and
an application by May 1, 2013.
Several stakeholders requested
additional time to prepare their
applications and form partnerships.
Therefore, the Innovation Center
extended the deadlines relating to the
Comprehensive ESRD Care initiative.
On July 17, 2013, we published a notice
in the Federal Register announcing an
extension of deadlines. The new
deadlines were July 19, 2013 for the
Letter of Intent and August 1, 2013 for
the application. On August 9, 2013, we
published an additional notice in the
Federal Register announcing an
extension of deadlines. The notice
reopened the Letters of Intent
submission period and extended the
deadlines for submission of both the

Letters of Intent and the Applications to
August 30, 2013.
II. Provisions of the Notice
Since the publication of the August 9,
2013 notice, we have made several
revisions to the design of the
Comprehensive ESRD Care initiative.
Therefore, for the Comprehensive ESRD
Care Initiative, the Innovation Center is
reopening the Letters of Intent
submission period and extending the
deadlines for submission of both the
Letters of Intent and the Applications.
The new deadline for submission of the
letter of intent is June 23, 2014 for LDO
applicants and September 15, 2014 for
non-LDO applicants; and the new
deadline for submission of the
application is June 23, 2014, for LDO
applicants and September 15, 2014 for
non-LDO applicants.
In the DATES section of this notice, we
are including the new submissions
deadlines. For additional information
on the Comprehensive ESRD Care
Model, and how to apply, we refer the

Applications located on the Innovation
Center Web site at: https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 5, 2009, President Obama
signed the ‘‘Memorandum for the Heads
of Executive Departments and Agencies
on Tribal Consultation.’’ The President
stated that his Administration is
committed to regular and meaningful
consultation and collaboration with
tribal officials in policy decisions that
have tribal implications, including, as
an initial step, complete and consistent
implementation of Executive Order
13175.
The United States has a unique legal
and political relationship with Indian
tribal governments, established through
and confirmed by the Constitution of
the United States, treaties, statutes,
executive orders, and judicial decisions.
In recognition of that special
relationship, pursuant to Executive
Order 13175 of November 6, 2000,
executive departments and agencies are
charged with engaging in regular and
meaningful consultation and
collaboration with tribal officials in the
development of federal policies that

have tribal implications, and are
responsible for strengthening the
government-to-government relationship
between the United States and Indian
tribes.
HHS has taken its responsibility to
comply with Executive Order 13175
very seriously over the past decade,
including the initial implementation of
a Department-wide policy on Tribal
consultation and coordination in 1997,
and through multiple evaluations and
revisions of that policy, most recently in
2010. ACF has developed its own
agency-specific consultation policy that
complements the Department-wide
efforts.
ACF’s Administration for Native
Americans will hold a consultation on
June 16, 2014. ACF Principals will be
available to speak with Tribal Leaders to
discuss issues important to the tribes
and will focus on ACF tribal program
priorities. To help all participants to
prepare for this consultation, planning
teleconference calls will be held on:
Wednesday, May 14, 2014, 3:00 p.m.–
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Wednesday, May 21, 2014, 3:00 p.m.–
