banks, and restaurants. The information
collection will occur via a cost data
collection survey, in which respondents
will be asked about a key set of sodium
reduction activities that were developed
during the evaluation of SRCP round
two based on interviews with SRCP
partners. Respondents are asked to
report on all costs since beginning work
on sodium reduction strategies as part of
SRCP. While grantees began work on
SRCP in 2016, partners began work at
different times, so the time period of
costs will vary by partner. Therefore, we
request their participation in the survey.
We will request participation from all
SRCP partners via email.
The insights to be gained from this
data collection will be critical to
understanding the full costs of
implementing SRCP at all levels of
implementation for a set of key sodium
reduction activities, which is an
important factor in program planning
and maintaining program longevity and
sustainability. The estimated annual
burden hours are 88.
also ask how long they have been
working on sodium reduction. For each
activity, respondents will be asked the
number and types of staff that worked
on the activity, the average monthly
number of hours worked on that activity
for each staff member, the number of
months worked by each staff member,
and how long the activity will continue.
Additionally, for each activity,
respondents will be asked to report any
non-labor expenditures on materials or
supplies. RTI will work with CDC and
grantees to reach out to partners and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Advisory Panel for Outreach and
Education (APOE) (the Panel) is
governed by the provisions of Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub.
L. 92–463), as amended (5 U.S.C.
Appendix 2), which sets forth standards
for the formation and use of federal

advisory committees. The Panel is
authorized by section 1114(f) of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1314(f))
and section 222 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 217a).
The Secretary of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS)
(the Secretary) signed the charter
establishing the Citizen’s Advisory
Panel on Medicare Education 1 (the
predecessor to the APOE) on January 21,
1999 (64 FR 7899, February 17, 1999) to
advise and make recommendations to
the Secretary and the Administrator of
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) on the effective
implementation of national Medicare
education programs, including with
respect to the Medicare+Choice (M+C)
program added by the Balanced Budget
Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–33).
The Medicare Modernization Act of
2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108–173)
expanded the existing health plan
options and benefits available under the
M+C program and renamed it the
Medicare Advantage (MA) program. We
have had substantial responsibilities to
provide information to Medicare
beneficiaries about the range of health
plan options available and better tools
to evaluate these options. The
successful MA program implementation
required CMS to consider the views and
policy input from a variety of private
sector constituents and to develop a
broad range of public-private
partnerships.
In addition, Title I of the MMA
authorized the Secretary and the
Administrator of CMS (by delegation) to
establish the Medicare prescription drug
benefit. The drug benefit allows
beneficiaries to obtain qualified
prescription drug coverage. In order to
effectively administer the MA program
and the Medicare prescription drug
benefit, we have substantial
responsibilities to provide information
to Medicare beneficiaries about the
range of health plan options and
benefits available, and to develop better
tools to evaluate these plans and
benefits.
The Affordable Care Act (Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act,
Pub. L. 111–148, and Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Pub. L. 111–152) expanded the
availability of other options for health
care coverage and enacted a number of
changes to Medicare as well as to
Medicaid and the Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP). Qualified
1 We note that the Citizen’s Advisory Panel on
Medicare Education is also referred to as the
Advisory Panel on Medicare Education (65 FR
4617). The name was updated in the Second
Amended Charter approved on July 24, 2000.
