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,
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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Health Equity
Technical Assistance Monitoring and
Tracking; Use: The Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) Office of
Minority Health (OMH) developed the
CMS Equity Plan for Improving Quality
in Medicare (CMS Equity Plan for
Medicare). The Plan outlines CMS’ path
to help advance health equity by
improving the quality of care provided
to minority and other underserved
Medicare beneficiaries, particularly
those with disparities in chronic
diseases. CMS identified six highimpact priority areas based on a review
of the evidence base and stakeholder
input. These priorities encompass both
system- and community-level
approaches to achieve equity in
Medicare. Priority 2: Evaluate
Disparities Impacts and Integrate Equity
Solutions Across CMS Programs,
focuses on increasing understanding of
the impact CMS programs have on
health disparities and on identifying,
developing and integrating proven
solutions to improve their impact on
vulnerable populations.
CMS created a Health Equity
Technical Assistance (TA) email
(HealthEquityTA@cms.hhs.gov) to
support CMS programs as they integrate
health equity into their programs. This
TA offers guidance from health equity
subject matter experts on a variety of
topics including reviewing data to
identify health disparities, identifying
root causes of health disparities, gaining
an organizational champion, building
organizational capacity to address
health disparities, implementing
interventions, tracking success of
intervention, and serves as a portal to

Proposed Projects
Title: U.S. Repatriation Program
Forms.
OMB No.: 0970—NEW (two of the
forms have prior OMB No: [SSA–3955 &
SSA–2061])
Description: The United States (U.S.)
Repatriation Program was established by
Title XI, Section 1113 of the Social
Security Act (Assistance for U.S.
Citizens Returned from Foreign
Countries) to provide temporary
assistance to U.S. citizens and their
dependents who have been identified by
the Department of State (DOS) as having
returned, or been brought from a foreign
country to the U.S. because of
destitution, illness, war, threat of war,
or a similar crisis, and are without
available resources immediately
accessible to meet their needs. The
Secretary of the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) was
provided with the authority to
administer this Program. On or about
1994, this authority was delegated by
the HHS Secretary to the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) and
later re-delegated by ACf to the Office of
Refugee Resettlement. The Repatriation
Program works with States, Federal
agencies, and non-governmental
organizations to provide eligible
individuals with temporary assistance
for up to 90-days. This assistance is in
the form of a loan and must be repaid
to the Federal Government.
The Program was later expanded in
response to legislation enacted by
Congress to address the particular needs
of persons with mental illness (24
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
32875
U.S.C. Sections 321 through 329).
Further refinements occurred in
response to Executive Order (E.O.)
11490 (as amended) where HHS was
given the responsibility to ‘‘develop
plans and procedures for assistance at
ports of entry to U.S. personnel
evacuated from overseas areas, their
onward movement to final destination,
and follow-up assistance after arrival at
final destination.’’ In addition, under
E.O. 12656 (53 CFR 47491),
‘‘Assignment of emergency
preparedness responsibilities,’’ HHS
was given the lead responsibility to
develop plans and procedures in order
to provide assistance to U.S. citizens
and others evacuated from overseas
areas.
Overall, the Program manages two
major activities, Emergency and Nonemergency Repatriation Activities. The
ongoing routine arrivals of individual
repatriates and the repatriation of
individuals with mental illness
constitute the Program Non-emergency
activities. Emergency activities are
comprised of group repatriations
(evacuations of 50–500 individuals) and
emergency repatriations (evacuations of
500 or more individuals). Operationally,
these activities involve different kinds
of preparation, resources, and
implementation. However, the core
Program policies and administrative
procedures are essentially the same. The
Program provides services through
agreements with local repatriation
service providers (e.g. States, federal
agencies, non-governmental agencies,
etc.). For the purpose of this Program,
local repatriation service provider (local
provider) has the same definition of
‘‘agency’’ as defined under 45 CFR 212.1
(i).
1. The HHS Repatriation Program
Emergency and Group Processing Form:
Under 45 CFR 211 and 212, ORR is to
make findings setting forth the pertinent
facts and conclusions according to
established standards to determine
whether an individual is an eligible
person. This form allows authorized
staff to gather necessary information to
determine eligibility and needed
services. This form is to be utilized
during emergencies and group
repatriations. Individuals interested in
receiving Repatriation assistance will
complete appropriate portions of this
form. State personnel will utilize this
form as a guide to perform an initial
eligibility and needs assessment. An
authorized federal staff from the ACF
will make final eligibility
determinations through the approval of
this form.
