Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 44 / Friday, March 6, 2015 / Notices include the variables on the eight item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ–10) to assess heath status, functioning and quality of life. In the KCCQ, an overall summary score can be derived from the physical function, symptoms (frequency and severity), social function and quality of life domains. For each domain, the validity, reproducibility, responsiveness and interpretability have been independently established. Scores are transformed to a range of 0–100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. The conduct of the STS/ACC TVT Registry and the KCCQ–10 is pursuant to section 1142 of the Social Security Act (the ACT) that describes the authority of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Under section 1142, research may be conducted and supported on the outcomes, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care services and procedures to identify the manner in which disease, disorders, and other health conditions can be prevented, diagnosed, treated, and managed clinically. Section 1862(a)(1)(E) of the Act allows Medicare to cover under coverage with evidence development (CED) certain items or services for which the evidence is not adequate to support coverage under section 1862(a)(1)(A) and where additional data gathered in the context of a clinical setting would further clarify the impact of these items and services on the health of beneficiaries. The data collected and analyzed in the TVT Registry will be used to determine if TMVR is reasonable and necessary (e.g., improves health outcomes) for Medicare beneficiaries under section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the ACT. Furthermore, data from the Registry will assist the medical device industry and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in surveillance of the quality, safety and efficacy of new medical devices to treat mitral regurgitation. For purposes of the TMVR NCD, the TVT Registry has contracted with the Data Analytic Centers to conduct the analyses. In addition, data will be made available for research purposes under the terms of a data use agreement that only provides de-identified datasets. Form Number: CMS–10531(OMB control number: 0938–NEW); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private sector (Business or other forprofits); Number of Respondents: 4,000; Total Annual Responses: 16,000; Total Annual Hours: 5,600.

Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Employer Notification to HHS of its Objection to Providing Coverage for Contraceptive Services; Use: The proposed rules titled ‘‘Coverage of Certain Preventive Services Under the Affordable Care Act’’ (79 FR 51118), if finalized as proposed, would require each qualifying closelyheld, for-profit entity seeking to be treated as an eligible organization to provide notification of its religious objection to coverage of all or a subset of contraceptive services. Issuers and third party administrators providing or arranging payments for contraceptive services for participants and beneficiaries in plans of eligible organizations would be required to meet the notice requirements as set forth in the 2013 final regulations, requiring them to provide notice of the availability of separate payments for contraceptive services to participants and beneficiaries in the eligible organizations’ plans (78 FR 39870, 39880 (July 2, 2013)). The interim final regulations titled ‘‘Coverage of Certain Preventive Services Under the Affordable Care Act’’ (79 FR 51092) continue to allow eligible organizations that have religious objections to providing contraceptive coverage to notify an issuer or third party administrator using EBSA Form 700, as set forth in the 2013 final regulations. In addition, these interim final regulations permit an alternative process under which an eligible organization may notify HHS of its religious objection to coverage of all or a subset of contraceptive services.
