Well-Integrated Screening and
Evaluation for Women Across the
Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting
System (OMB #0920–0612, exp. 12/31/
2016)—Extension—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The WISEWOMAN program (WellIntegrated Screening and Evaluation for
Women Across the Nation), sponsored
by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), was established to
examine ways to improve the delivery
of services for women who have limited
access to health care and elevated risk
factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The program focuses on reducing CVD
risk factors and provides screening
services for selected risk factors such as
elevated blood cholesterol,
hypertension, and abnormal blood
glucose levels. The program also
provides women with referrals to
lifestyle programs and medical care. The
WISEWOMAN program provides
services to women who are jointly
enrolled in the National Breast and
Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program
(NBCCEDP), also administered by CDC.
The WISEWOMAN program is
administered by state health
departments and tribal programs. In
2013, new cooperative agreements were
awarded under Funding Opportunity
Announcement DP13–1302. These
awards are currently in the final year of
funding, but may be extended by CDC
for one additional year, subject to the
availability of funds.
CDC collects two types of information
from WISEWOMAN awardees. The
hardcopy Annual Progress Report
provides a narrative summary of each
awardee’s objectives and the activities
undertaken to meet program goals. The
estimated burden per response is 16
hours.
In addition, each WISEWOMAN
awardee submits an electronic data file
to CDC twice per year. The Minimum
Data Elements (MDE) file contains deidentified, client-level information
about the cardiovascular disease risk
factors of women served by the program,
and the number and type of lifestyle
program sessions they attend. The
estimated burden per response for the
MDE file is 24 hours.
CDC seeks a one-year extension to
enable reporting for the final year of
activities funded under the current
cooperative agreement and the option
year, subject to the availability of funds.
There are no changes to the information
collected, the burden per response,
reporting frequency, the number of
awardees, or the total annualized
burden hours.
CDC will continue to use the
information collected from
WISEWOMAN awardees to support
program monitoring and improvement
activities, evaluation, and assessment of
program outcomes. The overall program
evaluation is designed to demonstrate
how WISEWOMAN can obtain more
complete health data on vulnerable
populations, promote public education
about disease incidence, cardiovascular
disease risk-factors, health promotion,
improve the availability of screening
and diagnostic services for under-served
women, ensure the quality of services
provided to underserved women, and
develop strategies for improved
interventions. Participation in this
information collection is required as a
condition of cooperative agreement
funding. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
The total annualized burden hours are
1,344.

This notice announces a
$560.00 calendar year (CY) 2017
application fee for institutional
providers that are initially enrolling in
the Medicare or Medicaid program or
the Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP); revalidating their
Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
I. Background
In the February 2, 2011 Federal
Register (76 FR 5862), we published a
final rule with comment period titled
‘‘Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s
Health Insurance Programs; Additional
Screening Requirements, Application
Fees, Temporary Enrollment Moratoria,
Payment Suspensions and Compliance
Plans for Providers and Suppliers.’’ This
rule finalized, among other things,
provisions related to the submission of
application fees as part of the Medicare,
Medicaid, and CHIP provider
enrollment processes. As provided in
section 1866(j)(2)(C)(i) of the Social
Security Act (the Act) (as amended by
section 6401 of the Affordable Care Act)
and in 42 CFR 424.514, ‘‘institutional
providers’’ that are initially enrolling in
the Medicare or Medicaid programs or
CHIP, revalidating their enrollment, or
adding a new Medicare practice location
are required to submit a fee with their
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:02 Nov 04, 2016
Jkt 241001
enrollment application. An
‘‘institutional provider’’ for purposes of
Medicare is defined at § 424.502 as
‘‘(a)ny provider or supplier that submits
a paper Medicare enrollment
application using the CMS–855A, CMS–
855B (not including physician and nonphysician practitioner organizations),
CMS–855S, or associated Internet-based
PECOS enrollment application.’’ As we
explained in the February 2, 2011 final
rule (76 FR 5914), in addition to the
providers and suppliers subject to the
application fee under Medicare,
Medicaid-only, and CHIP-only
institutional providers would include
nursing facilities, intermediate care
facilities for persons with intellectual
disabilities (ICF/IID), psychiatric
residential treatment facilities, and may
include other institutional provider
types designated by a state in
accordance with their approved state
plan.
As indicated in § 424.514 and
§ 455.460, the application fee is not
required for either of the following:
• A Medicare physician or nonphysician practitioner submitting a
CMS–855I.
• A prospective or revalidating
Medicaid or CHIP provider—
++ Who is an individual physician or
non-physician practitioner; or
++ That is enrolled in Title XVIII of
the Act or another state’s Title XIX or
XXI plan and has paid the application
fee to a Medicare contractor or another
state.
II. Provisions of the Notice
A. CY 2016 Fee Amount
In the December 3, 2015 Federal
Register (80 FR 75680), we published a
notice announcing a fee amount for the
period of January 1, 2016 through
December 31, 2016 of $554.00. This
figure was calculated as follows:
• Section 1866(j)(2)(C)(i)(I) of the Act
established a $500 application fee for
institutional providers in CY 2010.
• Consistent with section
1866(j)(2)(C)(i)(II) of the Act,
§ 424.514(d)(2) states that for CY 2011
and subsequent years, the preceding
year’s fee will be adjusted by the
percentage change in the consumer
price index (CPI) for all urban
consumers (all items; United States city
average, CPI–U) for the 12-month period
ending on June 30 of the previous year.
• The CPI–U increase for CY 2011
was 1.0 percent, based on data obtained
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS). This resulted in an application
fee amount for CY 2011 of $505 (or $500
× 1.01).
• The CPI–U increase for the period
of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
78159
was 3.54 percent, based on BLS data.
This resulted in an application fee
amount for CY 2012 of $522.87 (or $505
× 1.0354). In the February 2, 2011 final
rule, we stated that if the adjustment
sets the fee at an uneven dollar amount,
we would round the fee to the nearest
whole dollar amount. Accordingly, the
application fee amount for CY 2012 was
rounded to the nearest whole dollar
amount, or $523.00.
• The CPI–U increase for the period
of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012
was 1.664 percent, based on BLS data.
This resulted in an application fee
amount for CY 2013 of $531.70 ($523 ×
1.01664). Rounding this figure to the
nearest whole dollar amount resulted in
a CY 2013 application fee amount of
$532.00.
• The CPI–U increase for the period
of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013
was 1.8 percent, based on BLS data.
This resulted in an application fee
amount for CY 2014 of $541.576 ($532
× 1.018). Rounding this figure to the
nearest whole dollar amount resulted in
a CY 2014 application fee amount of
$542.00.
• The CPI–U increase for the period
of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014
was 2.1 percent, based on BLS data.
This resulted in an application fee
amount for CY 2015 of $553.382 ($542
× 1.021). Rounding this figure to the
nearest whole dollar amount resulted in
a CY 2015 application fee amount of
$553.00.
• The CPI–U increase for the period
of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015
was 0.2 percent, based on BLS data.
This resulted in an application fee
amount for CY 2016 of $554.106 ($553
× 1.002). Rounding this figure to the
nearest whole dollar amount resulted in
a CY 2016 application fee amount of
$554.00.
B. CY 2017 Fee Amount
Using BLS data, the CPI–U increase
for the period of July 1, 2015 through
June 30, 2016 was 1.0 percent. This
results in a CY 2017 application fee
amount of $559.56 ($554 × 1.01). As we
must round this to the nearest whole
dollar amount, the resultant application
fee amount for CY 2017 is $560.00.
III. Collection of Information
Requirements
This document does not impose
information collection requirements,
that is, reporting, recordkeeping, or
third-party disclosure requirements.
Consequently, there is no need for
review by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
However, it does reference previously
