SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,

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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Verification of
Clinic Data—Rural Health Clinic Form
and Supporting Regulations; Use: The
form is utilized as an application to be
completed by suppliers of Rural Health
Clinic (RHC) services requesting
participation in the Medicare program.
This form initiates the process of
obtaining a decision as to whether the
conditions for certification are met as a
supplier of RHC services. It also
promotes data reduction or introduction
to and retrieval from the Automated
Survey Process Environment (ASPEN)
and related survey and certification
databases by the CMS Regional Offices.
Should any question arise regarding the
structure of the organization, this
information is readily available. Form

by recording the personnel data needed
to support their compliance with the
personnel requirements of CLIA. The
surveyor will then use this information
in choosing a sample of personnel to
verify compliance with the personnel
requirements. Information on personnel
qualifications of all technical personnel
is needed to ensure the sample is
representative of the entire laboratory.

Title: Community Services Block

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 52 / Friday, March 16, 2018 / Notices
(CSBG) Act requires states, including
the District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S.
territories applying for CSBG funds to
submit an application and plan (CSBG
State Plan). The CSBG State Plan must
meet statutory requirements prior to
states and territories being funded with
CSBG funds. Applicants have the option
to submit a detailed plan annually or
biannually. Entities that submit a
biannual plan must provide an
abbreviated plan the following year if
substantial changes to the initial plan
will occur.
This request is to revise the
automated CSBG State Plan format for
states and territories by revising
questions for clarity and system
compatibility. It is not anticipated that
these revisions will cause any
additional burden to states as they have
been completing the automated plan for
three years. It is anticipated that the
burden will continue to diminish in
subsequent years due to improved prepopulation and automation.
In addition to the CSBG State Plan,
states will be requested to complete a
CSBG Eligible Entity Master List in year
one, and then make updates as
necessary in subsequent years. As the
states have the information about their
eligible entities (or sub-grantees), the
burden will be minimal to the states to
complete this the first year.
Lastly, the request includes a survey
for the CSBG eligible entities (or subgrantees). The survey focuses on the
customer service that the eligible
entities receive from the CSBG states.
The survey is optional, and this will be
the third time that the eligible entities
that chose to submit will complete it.
Respondents: State Governments,
including the District of Columbia and
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and
U.S. territories, and local level subgrantees.
