care programs and does not permit
physicians practicing at the hospital to
discriminate against such beneficiaries;
and
• With respect to each of the 3 most
recent fiscal years for which data are
available as of the date the hospital
submits its request, the hospital has an
annual percent of total inpatient
admissions under Medicaid that is
estimated to be greater than such
percent with respect to such admissions
for any other hospital located in the
county in which the hospital is located.
We note that our regulations require
the requesting hospital to use filed
hospital cost report discharge data to
estimate its annual percentage of total
inpatient admissions under Medicaid
and the annual percentages of total
inpatient admissions under Medicaid
for every other hospital located in the
county in which the hospital is located.
Individuals and entities wishing to
submit comments on the hospital’s
request should review the DATES and
ADDRESSES sections above and state
whether or not they are in the
community in which the hospital is
located.
III. Hospital Exception Request
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
these were examples only and that we
will not restrict the type of community
input that may be submitted (76 FR
74522). If we receive timely comments
from the community, we will notify the
hospital, and the hospital has 30 days
after such notice to submit a rebuttal
statement (§ 411.362(c)(5)(ii)).
A request for an exception to the
facility expansion prohibition is
considered complete and ready for CMS
review if no comments from the
community are received by the close of
the 30-day comment period. If we
receive timely comments from the
community, we consider the request to
be complete 30 days after the hospital
is notified of the comments. If we grant
the request for an exception to the
prohibition on expansion of facility
capacity, the expansion may occur only
in facilities on the hospital’s main
campus and may not result in the
number of operating rooms, procedure
rooms, and beds for which the hospital
is licensed exceeding 200 percent of the
hospital’s baseline number of operating
rooms, procedure rooms, and beds
(§ 411.362(c)(6)). Our decision to grant
or deny a hospital’s request for an
exception to the prohibition on
expansion of facility capacity will be
published in the Federal Register in
accordance with our regulations at
§ 411.362(c)(7).
This document does not impose
information collection and
recordkeeping requirements.
Consequently, it need not be reviewed
by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 35).
As permitted by section 1877(i)(3) of
the Act and our regulations at
§ 411.362(c), the following physicianowned hospital has requested an
exception to the prohibition on
expansion of facility capacity:
Name of Facility: Lake Pointe Medical
Center
Location: 6800 Scenic Drive, Rowlett,
Texas 75088–4552 (Rockwall County)
Basis for Exception Request: High
Medicaid Facility
We seek comments on this request
from individuals and entities in the
community in which the hospital is
located. We encourage interested parties
to review the hospital’s request, which
is posted on the CMS Web site at:
https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Fraudand-Abuse/PhysicianSelfReferral/
Physician_Owned_Hospitals.html. We
especially welcome comments regarding
whether the hospital qualifies as a ‘‘high
Medicaid facility.’’ Under
§ 411.362(c)(3), a ‘‘high Medicaid
facility’’ is a hospital that satisfies all of
the following criteria:
• The hospital is not the sole hospital
in the county in which it is located;
• The hospital does not discriminate
against beneficiaries of Federal health

Title: Multistate Financial Institution
Data Match with Federally Assisted
State Transmitted Levy (FIDM/FAST
Levy)
OMB No.: 0970–0196.
Description: State child support
enforcement agencies are required to
attach and seize an obligor’s assets in
financial institutions to satisfy any
current support obligation and arrearage
when the obligor owes past-due
support. To locate an obligor’s account,
state child support enforcement
agencies are required to enter into data
matching agreements with financial
institutions doing business in their
state. State child support enforcement
agencies use the results of data matches
to secure information leading to the
enforcement of the support obligation.
The federal Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE) assists states to
fulfill the data matching requirements
with multistate financial institutions by
facilitating matching through the
Federal Parent Locator Service’s
Multistate Financial Institution Data
Match (MSFIDM) program.
To further assist states to meet this
statutory requirement, the OCSE
enhanced the Federal Parent Locator
Service by developing the Federally
Assisted State Transmitted (FAST) Levy
application that provides a secure and
automated method of collecting and
disseminating electronic levy notices
between state child support
enforcement agencies and multistate
financial institutions. This increases
states’ efficiency to secure financial
assets.
The FIDM/FAST Levy information
collection activities are authorized by:
42 U.S.C. 652(l) which authorizes OCSE,
through the Federal Parent Locator
Service, to aid state child support
agencies and financial institutions doing
business in two or more states in
reaching agreements regarding the
receipt from financial institutions, and
the transfer to the state child support
agencies, of information pertaining to
the location of accounts held by obligors
who owe past-due support; 42 U.S.C.
666 (a)(2) and (c)(1)(G)(ii) which require
state child support agencies in cases in
which there is an arrearage to establish
procedures to secure assets to satisfy
any current support obligation and the

arrearage by attaching and seizing assets
of the obligor held in financial
institutions; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(a)(17),
which requires state child support
agencies to establish procedures under
which the state child support agencies
shall enter into agreements with
financial institutions doing business in
the state to develop and operate, in
coordination with financial institutions
and the Federal Parent Locator Service
(in the case of financial institutions
doing business in two or more states), a
data match system, using automated
data exchanges to the maximum extent
feasible, in which a financial institution
is required to quarterly provide
information pertaining to a noncustodial
parent owing past-due support who
maintains an account at the institution;
and (ii) in response to a notice of lien
or levy, encumber or surrender, assets
held; (3) 42 U.S.C. 652(a)(7), which
requires OCSE to provide technical
assistance to state child support
enforcement agencies to help them
establish effective systems for collecting
child and spousal support; and (4) 45
CFR 303.7(a)(5), which requires state
child support agencies to transmit
requests for information and provide
requested information electronically to
the greatest extent possible.
Respondents: Multistate Financial
Institutions and State Child Support
Agencies.

Title: Case Plan Requirement, Title
IV–E of the Social Security Act.
OMB No.: 0970–0428.
Description: Under section 471(a)(16)
of title IV–E of the Social Security Act
(the Act), to be eligible for payments,
states and tribes must have an approved
title IV–E plan that provides for the
development of a case plan for each
child for whom the State or Tribe
receives foster care maintenance
payments and that provides a case
review system that meets the
requirements in section 475(5) and
475(6) of the Act.
The case review system assures that
each child has a case plan designed to
achieve placement in a safe setting that
is the least restrictive (most family-like)
setting available and in close proximity
to the child’s parental home, consistent
with the best interest and special needs
of the child. Through these
requirements, States and Tribes also
comply, in part, with title IV–B section
422(b) of the Act, which assures certain
protections for children in foster care.
The case plan is a written document
that provides a narrative description of
the child-specific program of care.
Federal regulations at 45 CFR 1356.21(g)
and section 475(1) of the Act delineate
the specific information that should be
addressed in the case plan. The
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) does not specify a
recordkeeping format for the case plan
nor does ACF require submission of the
document to the Federal government.
Case plan information is recorded in a
format developed and maintained by the
State or Tribal child welfare agency.

Title: Multistate Financial Institution Data Match with Federally
Assisted State Transmitted Levy (FIDM/FAST Levy)
OMB No.: 0970-0196.
Description: State child support enforcement agencies are required
to attach and seize an obligor's assets in financial institutions to
satisfy any current support obligation and arrearage when the obligor
owes past-due support. To locate an obligor's account, state child
support enforcement agencies are required to enter into data matching
agreements with financial institutions doing business in their state.
State child support enforcement agencies use the results of data
matches to secure information leading to the enforcement of the support
obligation. The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)
assists states to fulfill the data matching requirements with
multistate financial institutions by facilitating matching through the
Federal Parent Locator Service's Multistate Financial Institution Data
Match (MSFIDM) program.
To further assist states to meet this statutory requirement, the
OCSE enhanced the Federal Parent Locator Service by developing the
Federally Assisted State Transmitted (FAST) Levy application that
provides a secure and automated method of collecting and disseminating
electronic levy notices between state child support enforcement
agencies and multistate financial institutions. This increases states'
efficiency to secure financial assets.
The FIDM/FAST Levy information collection activities are authorized
by: 42 U.S.C. 652(l) which authorizes OCSE, through the Federal Parent
Locator Service, to aid state child support agencies and financial
institutions doing business in two or more states in reaching
agreements regarding the receipt from financial institutions, and the
transfer to the state child support agencies, of information pertaining
to the location of accounts held by obligors who owe past-due support;
42 U.S.C. 666 (a)(2) and (c)(1)(G)(ii) which require state child
support agencies in cases in which there is an arrearage to establish
procedures to secure assets to satisfy any current support obligation
and the
[[Page 26972]]
arrearage by attaching and seizing assets of the obligor held in
financial institutions; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(a)(17), which requires state
child support agencies to establish procedures under which the state
child support agencies shall enter into agreements with financial
institutions doing business in the state to develop and operate, in
coordination with financial institutions and the Federal Parent Locator
Service (in the case of financial institutions doing business in two or
more states), a data match system, using automated data exchanges to
the maximum extent feasible, in which a financial institution is
required to quarterly provide information pertaining to a noncustodial
parent owing past-due support who maintains an account at the
institution; and (ii) in response to a notice of lien or levy, encumber
