SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: TRICARE Select Survey of Civilian Providers; OMB Control Number 0720–0031. Needs and Uses: As mandated by Congress, the information collection requirement is necessary to determine how many providers are aware of the TRICARE health benefits program, and specifically accept new TRICARE Select patients in each market area. The original requirement is outlined in Section 711 Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (Pub. L. 110– 181) and was reaffirmed in Section 721 FY12 NDAA (Pub. L. 112–81). Section 712 of FY15 NDAA extended the requirement to conduct the survey from 2017 through 2020. Surveys of civilian physician and non-physician behavioral health care providers will be conducted in a number of locations in the United States each year. Respondents include civilian physicians (M.D.s & D.O.s) and nonphysician behavioral health providers (clinical psychologists, clinical social workers and other TRICARE authorized behavioral health providers). The locations surveyed will include areas where the TRICARE Prime benefit is offered (known as TRICARE PRIME Service Areas) and geographic areas where TRICARE Prime is not offered. Respondents will be contacted by mail with a telephone follow-up to complete the survey. Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Annual Burden Hours: 1,667. Number of Respondents: 20,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 20,000. Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. Frequency: Annually. Under the authority of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), (OASD (HA)), Defense Health Agency (DHA) is proposing an extension with changes of an existing FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: [FR Doc. 2018–20643 Filed 9–20–18; 8:45 am] PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47891 information collection of civilian providers to evaluate DoD’s TRICARE Select health care option. The evaluation methodology remains unchanged to include collecting and analyzing survey-based data that are necessary to meet the requirements of Congress. Section 701 of the FY17 NDAA established TRICARE Select as the replacement for TRICARE Standard as of January 1, 2018. TRICARE Select brings together the features of TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra in a single plan. Select enrollees may obtain care from any TRICARE authorized provider without a referral or authorization. The proposed changes include: Change title of survey from TRICARE Standard Survey of Civilian Providers to TRICARE Select Survey of Civilian Providers. Change the wording in questions from ‘‘Standard’’ to ‘‘Select’’ to insure accuracy and consistency in terms when referring to a TRICARE health plan option. Dated: September 18, 2018. Shelly E.
