largely extends the transparency
reporting provisions set forth in section
1311(e)(3) to non-grandfathered group
health plans (including large group and
self-insured health plans) and health
insurance issuers offering group and
individual health insurance coverage
(non-QHP issuers), the Departments
intend to propose other transparency
reporting requirements at a later time,
through a separate rulemaking
conducted by the Departments, for nonQHP issuers and non-grandfathered
group health plans. Those proposed
reporting requirements may differ from
those prescribed in the HHS proposal
under section 1311(e)(3), and will take
into account differences in markets,
reporting requirements already in
existence for non-QHPs (including
group health plans), and other relevant
factors. The Departments also intend to
streamline reporting under multiple
reporting provisions and reduce
unnecessary duplication. The
Departments intend to implement any
transparency reporting requirements
applicable to non-QHP issuers and nongrandfathered group health plans only
after notice and comment, and after
giving those issuers and plans sufficient
time, following the publication of final
rules, to come into compliance with
those requirements. Form Number:

3. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Home Health
Face-to-Face Encounter Clinical
Templates; Use: The Centers for
Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) is
requesting the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval of the
collection of data required to support
the eligibility of Medicare home health
services. Home health services are
covered under the Hospital Insurance
(Part A) and Supplemental Medical
Insurance (Part B) benefits of the
Medicare program. It consists of parttime, medically necessary skilled care
(nursing, physical therapy, occupational
therapy, and speech-language therapy)
that is ordered by a physician. The CMS
has developed a list of clinical elements
within a suggested electronic clinical
template that would allow electronic
health record vendors to create prompts
to assist physicians when documenting

the HH face-to-face encounter for
Medicare purposes. Once completed by
the physician, the resulting progress
note or clinic note would be part of the
medical record. The primary users of
these new clinical templates will be
physicians and/or allowed nonphysician practitioners (NPPs). The
templates will help users to capture the
necessary information needed to
complete the face-to-face encounter
documentation. This will help
physicians and/or allowed NPPs comply
with Medicare policy requirements,
thereby reducing the possibility of a
home health claim not being paid
because of failure to meet Medicare
requirements. Form Number: CMS–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
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.
‘‘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 provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, we are publishing notice of
the proposed collection of information
set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, we invite

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 respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Labeling of Certain Beers Subject to the
Labeling Jurisdiction of the Food and
Drug Administration—(OMB Control
Number 0910–0728)—Extension
The definition of ‘‘food’’ under
section 201(f) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) See 21
U.S.C. 321(f), includes ‘‘articles used for
food or drink’’ and thus includes
alcoholic beverages. As such, alcoholic
beverages are subject to the FD&C Act’s
adulteration and misbranding
provisions, and implementing
regulations, related to food. For
example, manufacturers of alcoholic
beverages are responsible for adhering
to the registration of food facilities
requirements in 21 CFR part 1 and to
the good manufacturing practice
regulations in 21 CFR part 110. There
are also certain requirements for
nutrition labeling on menus, menu
boards, and other written materials for
alcohol beverages served in restaurants
or similar retail food establishments in
21 CFR part 101 (79 FR 71156,
December 1, 2014). However, as
reflected in a 1987 Memorandum of
Understanding between FDA and the
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB), TTB is responsible for the
promulgation and enforcement of
regulations with respect to the labeling
of distilled spirits, certain wines, and
malt beverages pursuant to the Federal
Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act).
In TTB Ruling 2008–3, dated July 7,
2008, TTB clarified that certain beers,
which are not made from both malted
barley and hops but are instead made
from substitutes for malted barley (such
as sorghum, rice, or wheat) or are made
without hops, do not meet the definition
of a ‘‘malt beverage’’ under the FAA
Act. Accordingly, TTB stated in its
ruling that such products (other than
sake, which is classified as a wine under
the FAA Act), are not subject to the
labeling, advertising, or other provisions
of the TTB regulations promulgated
under the FAA Act.
In cases where an alcoholic beverage
is not covered by the labeling provisions
of the FAA Act, the product is subject
to ingredient and other labeling
requirements under the FD&C Act and
the implementing regulations that we
administer. In addition, as provided for
