Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 105 / Monday, June 2, 2014 / Notices bid withdrawal payment of ten percent of the withdrawn bid for this auction. The Bureau seeks comment on this proposal. Federal Communications Commission. Gary D. Michaels, Deputy Chief, Auctions and Spectrum Access Division, WTB. ii. Additional Default Payment Percentage [FR Doc. 2014–12824 Filed 5–30–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6712–01–P 72. Any winning bidder that defaults or is disqualified after the close of an auction (i.e., fails to remit the required down payment within the prescribed period of time, fails to submit a timely long-form application, fails to make full and timely final payment, or is otherwise disqualified) is liable for a default payment under 47 CFR 1.2104(g)(2). This payment consists of a deficiency payment, equal to the difference between the amount of the Auction 97 bidder’s winning bid and the amount of the winning bid the next time a license covering the same spectrum is won in an auction, plus an additional payment equal to a percentage of the defaulter’s bid or of the subsequent winning bid, whichever is less. 73. The Commission’s rules provide that, in advance of each auction, it will establish a percentage between three and twenty percent of the applicable bid to be assessed as an additional default payment. As the Commission has indicated, the level of this additional payment in each auction will vary based on the nature of the service and the inventory of the licenses being offered. 74. Defaults weaken the integrity of the auction process and may impede the deployment of service to the public, however, the Bureau does not believe the detrimental effects of any defaults in Auction 97 are likely to be unusually great. Balancing these considerations, for Auction 97, the Bureau proposes to establish an additional default payment of fifteen percent of the applicable bid. The Bureau seeks comment on this proposal. sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES V. Ex Parte Rules 75.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for public comment: 1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Hospice Conditions of Participation and Supporting Regulations; Use: The Conditions of Participation and accompanying requirements are used by federal or state surveyors as a basis for determining whether a hospice qualifies for approval or re-approval under Medicare. The healthcare industry and CMS believe that the availability to the hospice of the type of records and general content of records, which the final rule (72 FR 32088) specifies, is standard medical practice, and is necessary in order to ensure the wellbeing and safety of patients and professional treatment accountability. Subsequent to the publication of the 60day Federal Register notice (November 29, 2013; 78 FR 71617), the burden hours previously accounted for in OMB control number 0938–0302 have been updated and moved under this package to consolidate all hospice-related burden into a single package. Form Number: CMS–10277 (OCN: 0938– 1067); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private sector (business or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 3,897; Total Annual Responses: 19,654,387; Total Annual Hours: 3,300,735.

Type of Information Collection Request: New collection (Request for a new OMB control number); Title of Information Collection: Application for Participation in the Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) Demonstration; Use: Traditional fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare covers some or all components of home infusion services depending on the circumstances. By special statutory provision, Medicare Part B covers intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) for persons with primary immune deficiency disease (PIDD) who wish to receive the drug at home. However, Medicare does not separately pay for any services or supplies to administer it if the person is not homebound and otherwise receiving services under a Medicare Home Health episode of care. As a result, many beneficiaries have chosen to receive the drug at their doctor’s office or in an outpatient hospital setting. On Tuesday, January 3, 2012, the President signed into law the ‘‘Medicare IVIG Access and Strengthening Medicare and Repaying Taxpayers Act of 2012.’’ The act authorizes a 3-year demonstration under Part B of Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to evaluate the benefits of providing payment for items and services needed for the in-home administration of IVIG for the treatment of PIDD. The statute limited the demonstration to 4,000 beneficiaries and $45 million, including administrative expenses for implementation and evaluation as well as benefit costs. The statute also required that an evaluation of the demonstration be conducted. Under this demonstration, Medicare will issue, under Part B, a bundled payment for all medically necessary supplies and services to administer IVIG in the home to enrolled beneficiaries who are not otherwise homebound and receiving home health care benefits. To implement the demonstration and ensure that statutory limits are not exceeded, it is necessary to positively enroll beneficiaries in the demonstration. This collection of information is for the application to participate in the demonstration. Participation is voluntary and may be terminated by the beneficiary at any time. Beneficiaries who do not participate will continue to be eligible to receive all of the regular Medicare Part B benefits that they are would be eligible for in the absence of the demonstration. Subsequent to the publication of the 60-day Federal Register notice (March 7, 2014; 79 FR PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 13058), the application has been revised by changing the order of the questions, rewording questions, and allowing more response options.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. The term ``collection of 
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 
includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public 
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. 
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires 
federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each 
proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of 
information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that 
summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for 
public comment:
    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Hospice 
Conditions of Participation and Supporting Regulations; Use: The 
Conditions of Participation and accompanying requirements are used by 
federal or state surveyors as a basis for determining whether a hospice 
qualifies for approval or re-approval under Medicare. The healthcare 
industry and CMS believe that the availability to the hospice of the 
type of records and general content of records, which the final rule 
(72 FR 32088) specifies, is standard medical practice, and is necessary 
in order to ensure the well-being and safety of patients and 
professional treatment accountability. Subsequent to the publication of 
the 60-day Federal Register notice (November 29, 2013; 78 FR 71617), 
the burden hours previously accounted for in OMB control number 0938-
0302 have been updated and moved under this package to consolidate all 
hospice-related burden into a single package. Form Number: CMS-10277

(business or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions); Number 
of Respondents: 3,897; Total Annual Responses: 19,654,387; Total Annual 
Hours: 3,300,735. (For policy questions regarding this collection 
contact Danielle Shearer at 410-786-6617.)
    2. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection (Request
