Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 235 / Friday, December 8, 2017 / Notices
Addiction Equity Act of 2008
implement 45 CFR 146.136(d)(2), which
sets forth rules for providing reasons for
claims denial. CMS oversees nonFederal governmental plans and health
insurance issuers, and the regulation
provides a safe harbor such that nonFederal governmental plans (and issuers
offering coverage in connection with
such plans) are deemed to comply with
requirements of paragraph (d)(2) of 45
CFR 146.136 if they provide the reason
for claims denial in a form and manner
consistent with ERISA requirements
found in 29 CFR 2560.503–1. Section
146.136(d)(3) of the final rule clarifies
that PHS Act section 2719 governing
internal claims and appeals and external
review as implemented by 45 CFR
147.136, covers MHPAEA claims
denials and requires that, when a nonquantitative treatment limitation
(NQTL) is the basis for a claims denial,
that a non-grandfathered plan or issuer
must provide the processes, strategies,
evidentiary standard, and other factors
used in developing and applying the
NQTL with respect to med/surg benefits
and MH/SUD benefits.
Disclosure Request Form
Group health plan participants,
beneficiaries, covered individuals in the
individual market, or persons acting on
their behalf, may use this optional
model form to request information from
plans regarding NQTLs that may affect
patients’ MH/SUD benefits or that may
have resulted in their coverage being
denied. Form Number: CMS–10307

Title: Child Care and Development
Fund Plan for States/Territories for FFY
2019–2021(ACF–118).
OMB No.: 0970–0114.
Description: The Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the
Plan) for States and Territories is
required from each CCDF Lead agency
in accordance with Section 658E of the
Child Care and Development Block
Grant Act of 1990, (CCDBG Act), as
amended, CCDBG Act of 2014 (Pub. Law
113–186), and 42 U.S.C 9858. The Plan
provides ACF and the public with a
description of, and assurance about, the
States’ and Territories’ child care
programs. States must submit Plans to
ACF on or before July 2, 2018 for
approval in order to receive funding on
October 1, 2018 for FY 2019.
The Office of Child Care (OCC) has
revised the FY 2019–2021 CCDF Plan
Preprint to align with the CCDF Final
Rule published on September 30, 2016.
In making the revisions, consideration
was given to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents. The Plan, submitted via
the ACF–118, is required triennially,
and will remain in effect for three years.
Due to unanticipated events,
including challenges faced by States and
Territories in implementing portions of
the comprehensive and unprecedented
background check requirements, the
OCC has re-examined the
implementation deadline to give States
and Territories an opportunity to apply
for additional time (up to two years, in
one year increments) to meet the most
challenging parts of the background
check requirements as long as specific
milestones are met. These developments
required OCC to delay submission of the
CCDF Plan Preprint for review and
approval by OMB because the process
and criteria for requesting additional
time will be carried out as part of the
Plan submission process. The delay
prevented OCC from completing the
regular Paperwork Reduction Act
clearance process that includes two
Federal Register notices and comment
periods.
