Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 52 / Monday, March 18, 2019 / Notices
60-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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: The HIPAA
Eligibility Transaction System (HETS);
Use: HIPAA regulations require covered
entities to verify the identity of the
person requesting PHI and the person’s
authority to have access to that
information. Under the HIPAA Security
rules, covered entities, regardless of
their size, are required under 45 CFR
Subtitle A, Subpart C 164.312(a)(2)(i) to
‘‘assign a unique name and/or number
for identifying and tracking user
identity.’’ A ’user’ is defined in 164.304
as a ‘‘person or entity with authorized
access’’ Accordingly, the HIPAA
Security rule requires covered entities to
assign a unique name and/or number to
each employee or workforce member
who uses a system that receives,
maintains or transmits electronic PHI so
that system access and activity can be
identified and tracked by user. This
pertains to workforce members within
small or large provider offices, health
plans, group health plans, and
clearinghouses. Federal law requires
that CMS take precautions to minimize
the security risk to the federal
information system. Federal Information
Processing Standards Publication(FIPS
PUB) 1() 1–2 Paragraph 11.7—Security
and Authentication states that:
‘‘Agencies shall employ risk
management techniques to determine
the appropriate mix of security controls
needed to protect specific data and
systems. The selection of controls shall
take into account procedures required
under applicable laws and regulations.’’
Accordingly, CMS requires that entities
who wish to connect to the HETS
application via the CMS Extranet and/
or internet are uniquely identified. CMS
is required to verify the identity of the
person requesting the Protected Health
Information (PHI) and the person’s
authority to have access to Medicare
eligibility information. Furthermore,
CMS requires that trading partners who
wish to conduct eligibility transactions
on a real-time basis with CMS provide
certain assurances as a condition of
receiving access to the Medicare
eligibility information for the purpose of
conducting real-time 270/271 inquiry/
response transactions. Form Number:
CMS–10157 (OMB control number:
0938–0960); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Private Sector; Business or other

regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including any of the

utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(4) the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
Title of the Collection: Health
Information Privacy and Civil Rights/
Conscience and Religious Freedom
Discrimination Complaint.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0945–0002.
Abstract: The Office for Civil Rights is
seeking a revision on an approval for a
3-year clearance on a previous
collection. Individuals may file written
or electronic complaints with the Office
for Civil Rights when they believe they
have been discriminated against by
programs or entities that receive Federal
financial assistance from the Health and
Human Service or if they believe that
their right to the privacy of protected
health information freedom has been
violated. Annual Number of
Respondents frequency of submission is

[Docket ID FEMA–2019–0002; Internal
Agency Docket No. FEMA–B–1910]
Proposed Flood Hazard
Determinations
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Comments are requested on
proposed flood hazard determinations,
which may include additions or
modifications of any Base Flood
Elevation (BFE), base flood depth,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundary or zone designation, or
regulatory floodway on the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for
the communities listed in the table
below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment
regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) has provided to the affected
communities. The FIRM and FIS report
are the basis of the floodplain
management measures that the
community is required either to adopt
or to show evidence of having in effect
in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition,
the FIRM and FIS report, once effective,
will be used by insurance agents and
others to calculate appropriate flood
insurance premium rates for new
buildings and the contents of those
buildings.
Comments are to be submitted
on or before June 17, 2019.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report for
DATES:
each community are available for
inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/
preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository
address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM
and FIS report for each community are
accessible online through the FEMA
Map Service Center at https://
msc.fema.gov for comparison.
You may submit comments, identified
by Docket No. FEMA–B–1910, to Rick
Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services
Branch, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400

(202) 646–7659, or (email)

Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400
C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646–7659, or (email)

the FEMA Map Information eXchange
(FMIX) online at https://
www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_
main.html.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA
proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community
listed below, in accordance with section
110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
These proposed flood hazard
determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that
are required. They should not be
construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances
that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements.
The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These flood hazard determinations are
used to meet the floodplain
management requirements of the NFIP
and are used to calculate the
appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after the
FIRM and FIS report become effective.
Community
The communities affected by the
flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any
request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown
on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report
that satisfies the data requirements
outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered
an appeal. Comments unrelated to the
flood hazard determinations also will be
considered before the FIRM and FIS
report become effective.
Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel
(SRP) is available to communities in
support of the appeal resolution
process. SRPs are independent panels of
experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and
other pertinent sciences established to
review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide
recommendations for resolution. Use of
the SRP only may be exercised after
FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation
process for at least 60 days without a
mutually acceptable resolution of an
appeal. Additional information
regarding the SRP process can be found
online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/
srp_overview.pdf.
The watersheds and/or communities
affected are listed in the tables below.
The Preliminary FIRM, and where
applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection
at both the online location https://
www.fema.gov/
preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository
address listed in the tables. For
communities with multiple ongoing
Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number
and Preliminary FIRM date listed in the
tables. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center
at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
