Background on the CPSTF: The
CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal
panel whose members are appointed by
the CDC Director. CPSTF members
represent a broad range of research,
practice, and policy expertise in
prevention, wellness, health promotion,
and public health. The CPSTF was
convened in 1996 by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to
identify community preventive
programs, services, and policies that
increase healthy longevity, save lives
and dollars, and improve Americans’
quality of life. CDC is mandated to
provide ongoing administrative,
research, and technical support for the
operations of the CPSTF. During its
meetings, the CPSTF considers the
findings of systematic reviews on
existing research and practice-based
evidence and issues recommendations.
CPSTF recommendations are not
mandates for compliance or spending.
Instead, they provide information about
evidence-based options that decision
makers and stakeholders can consider
when they are determining what best
meets the specific needs, preferences,
available resources, and constraints of
their jurisdictions and constituents. The
CPSTF’s recommendations, along with
the systematic reviews of the evidence
on which they are based, are compiled
in the The Community Guide.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
the estimated burden, ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of
information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by March 4, 2019.
ADDRESSES: When commenting on the
proposed information collections,
please reference the document identifier
or OMB control number. To be assured
consideration, comments and
recommendations must be received by
the OMB desk officer via one of the
following transmissions: OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attention: CMS Desk Officer, Fax

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,
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: Reinstatement without change
of a previously approved collection;
Title of Information Collection: Generic
Clearance for the Health Care Payment
Learning and Action Network; Use: The
Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), through the Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Innovation,
develops and tests innovative new
payment and service delivery models in
accordance with the requirements of
section 1115A and in consideration of
the opportunities and factors set forth in
section 1115A(b)(2) of the Act. To date,
CMS has built a portfolio of models (in
operation or already announced) that
have attracted participation from a
broad array of health care providers,
states, payers, and other stakeholders.
During the development of models,
CMS builds on ideas received from
stakeholders—consulting with clinical
and analytical experts, as well as with
representatives of relevant federal and
state agencies.
CMS will continue to partner with
stakeholders across the health care
system to catalyze transformation
through the use of alternative payment
models. To this end, CMS launched the
Health Care Payment Learning and
Action Network, an effort to accelerate
the transition to alternative payment

models, identify best practices in their
implementation, collaborate with
payers, providers, consumers,
purchasers, and other stakeholders, and
monitor the adoption of value-based
alternative payment models across the
health care system. A system wide
transition to alternative payment models
will strengthen the ability of CMS to
implement existing models and design
new models that improve quality and
decrease costs for CMS beneficiaries.
The information collected from LAN
participants will be used by the CMS
Innovation Center to potentially inform
the design, selection, testing,
modification, and expansion of
innovative payment and service
delivery models in accordance with the
requirements of section 1115A, while
monitoring the percentage of payments
tied to alternative payment models
across the U.S. health care system. In
addition, the requested information will
be made publically available so that
LAN participants (payers, providers,
consumers, employers, state agencies,
and patients) can use the information to
inform decision making and better
understand market dynamics in relation
to alternative payment models. Form
Number: CMS–10575 (OMB control
number: 0938–1297); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public:
Individuals; Private Sector (Business or
other For-profit and Not-for-profit
institutions), State, Local and Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
30,110; Total Annual Responses:
23,110; Total Annual Hours: 25,917.
(For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Dustin Allison at
410–786–8830.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Information
Collection for Transparency in Coverage
Reporting by Qualified Health Plan
Issuers; Use: Section 1311(e)(3) of the
Affordable Care Act requires issuers of
Qualified Health Plans (QHPs), to make
available and submit transparency in
coverage data. This data collection
would collect certain information from
QHP issuers in Federally-facilitated
Exchanges and State-based Exchanges
that rely on the federal IT platform (i.e.,
HealthCare.gov). HHS anticipates that
consumers may use this information to
inform plan selection.
As stated in the final rule Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act;
Establishment of Exchanges and
Qualified Health Plans; Exchange
Standards for Employers (77 FR 18310;
March 27, 2012), broader
implementation will continue to be
addressed in separate rulemaking issued

by HHS, and the Departments of Labor
and the Treasury (the Departments).
Consistent with Public Health Service
Act (PHS Act) section 2715A, which
largely extends the transparency
reporting provisions set forth in section
1311(e)(3) to non-grandfathered group
health plans (including large group and
self-insured health plans) and health
insurance issuers offering group and
individual health insurance coverage
(non-QHP issuers), the Departments
intend to propose other transparency
reporting requirements at a later time,
through a separate rulemaking
conducted by the Departments, for nonQHP issuers and non-grandfathered
group health plans. Those proposed
reporting requirements may differ from
those prescribed in the HHS proposal
under section 1311(e)(3), and will take
into account differences in markets,
reporting requirements already in
existence for non-QHPs (including
group health plans), and other relevant
factors. The Departments also intend to
streamline reporting under multiple
reporting provisions and reduce
unnecessary duplication. The
Departments intend to implement any
transparency reporting requirements
applicable to non-QHP issuers and nongrandfathered group health plans only
after notice and comment, and after
giving those issuers and plans sufficient
time, following the publication of final
rules, to come into compliance with
those requirements. Form Number:
CMS–10572 (OMB control number:
0938–1310); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Private Sector (Business
or other for-profits); Number of
Respondents: 160; Number of
Responses: 160; Total Annual Hours:
10,880. (For questions regarding this
collection contact Valisha Jackson at
