of death information for deceased
subjects, thus reducing the need to
request copies of death certificates from
the states. The NDI Plus option
currently provides the International
Classification of Disease (ICD) codes for
the underlying and multiple causes of
death for the years 1979–2015.
CDC requests OMB approval to
update the three data collection forms
used by NCHS to administer NDI
services. The form updates include
editorial changes needed to capture
current modes of data transfer and
service payment options, clarifications
to the instructions for NDI applicants,
the inclusion of an item to capture any
resulting publications, and additional
terms and conditions associated with
the confidentiality agreement.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. There is no cost to respondents
except for their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 507,
an increase of 325 hours due to an
anticipated increase in both the number
of applicants and the average time
needed to complete the application
form.

This notice sets out a summary of the
use and burden associated with the
following information collections. More
detailed information can be found in
each collection’s supporting statement
and associated materials (see

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.
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
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-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.

Information Collection: Evaluating a
Pilot Mobile Health Program; Use: CMS
is supporting a pilot mobile health
(mHealth) program in California,
Louisiana, Ohio, and Oklahoma. The
three-year mHealth project is being
conducted to complement existing
CMCS measurement, data collection,
and reporting activities to monitor,
track, and assess state’s maternal and
infant health efforts in Medicaid and
CHIP populations. This information
collection request supports the
evaluation of the pilot mHealth program
and will be used to assist CMS in
tracking maternal and infant health
outcomes in the Medicaid population.
The methods used for collection and
analysis of the data may be useful to
states and serve to increase reporting of
perinatal core set measures and
monitoring and interpretation of statelevel maternal and infant health efforts.
Results from the evaluation will help
CMS understand the usefulness of
mobile technology for conveying health
information to pregnant women and
new mothers enrolled in Medicaid/
CHIP, as well as the influence this
information has on health behaviors and
outcomes. Form Number: CMS–10634
(OMB control number: 0938—New);
Frequency: Once; Affected Public:
Individuals and households, Business or
other for-profits and Not-for-profits
institutions, State, local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:

Total Annual Hours: 962. (For policy
questions regarding this collection

mail-order diabetic testing supplies
ended on December 31, 2012.) The
competition for the Round 1 Recompete
began in August of 2012. The Round 1
Recompete contracts and prices became
effective on January 1, 2014 and will
expire on December 31, 2016. Round 2

most recent approval for this
information collection request (ICR) was
issued by OMB on June 10, 2013. That
ICR included the estimated burden to
collect the information in bidding
Forms A and B for the Round 1
Recompete. We are now seeking
approval to collect the information in
Forms A and B for competitions that
will occur before 2017. For these
upcoming competitions CMS will
publish a slightly modified version of
the RFB instructions and accompanying
Forms A and B so that suppliers will be
better able to identify and understand
the requirements of the program. We
decided to modify the RFB instructions
and forms based on our experience from
the last round of competition. The end
result is expected to produce more
complete and accurate information to
evaluate suppliers. No new collection
requirements have been added to the
modified RFB instructions or Form A or
B. Finally, we are retaining without
change the Change of Ownership
(CHOW) Purchaser Form and the CHOW
Contract Supplier Notification Form, the
Subcontracting Disclosure Form, and
Forms C, and D and their associated
burden under this ICR. We intend to
continue use of these Forms on an
ongoing basis. Form Number: CMS–
