SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) Title: Application for Extension of Time for Payment of Tax. OMB Control Number: 1513–0093. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Description: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6161 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to grant taxpayers up to 6 months of additional time to pay taxes on any return required under the IRC. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued form TTB F 5600.38, which taxpayers complete to apply for an extension of time to pay excise taxes collected by TTB. A taxpayer uses that form to identify themselves and the specific excise tax for which an extension of time for payment is requested, and to explain the reasons why the tax payment cannot be made on time. TTB uses the information collected on the form and in any attachments to evaluate the extension request, and it notifies the taxpayer of its decision regarding the extension request by returning a copy of the approved or disapproved form to the taxpayer. Form: TTB F 5600 .38. Affected Public: Businesses or other for profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 30. Frequency of Response: On Occasion. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 30. Estimated Time per Response: .25 hours per response. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 8 Title: Supporting Data for Nonbeverage Drawback Claims. OMB Control Number: 1513–0098. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Description: Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5111– 5114 and 7652(g), persons using distilled spirits to produce medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfume may claim drawback (refund) of all but VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:09 Jul 30, 2019 Jkt 247001 $1.00 per proof gallon of the Federal excise tax paid on the distilled spirits used to make such nonbeverage products, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. As required by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 17 and 26, when submitting nonbeverage product drawback claims to TTB, respondents are required to report certain supporting data regarding the distilled spirits used and the products produced, using form TTB F 5154.2. Collection of this information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to verify the validity of nonbeverage product drawback claims. Form: TTB F 5154.2. Affected Public: Businesses or other for profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 550. Frequency of Response: On Occasion. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 3,300. Estimated Time per Response: .97 hours per response. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,190. Title: Form 4136—Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels. OMB Control Number: 1513–0106. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Description: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires all manufacturers and importers of tobacco products, processed tobacco, or cigarette papers and tubes, and all export warehouse proprietors to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation, subject to government inspection during business hours. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 41 require importers of tobacco products or processed tobacco to maintain the usual and customary records kept during the normal course of business showing the receipt and disposition of imported tobacco products or processed tobacco. This information collection is necessary to protect the revenue, as it allows TTB to verify that the appropriate Federal excise taxes are paid on imported tobacco products and detect diversion of processed tobacco, which is not taxed, to taxable tobacco product manufacturing. Form: None. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 480. Frequency of Response: Annually.

Notice of a new matching program. ACTION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, VA is providing notice of a new matching program between VA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) entitled ‘‘Disclosure of Information to Support the Veterans Affairs’ ‘Seek to Prevent Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Initiative’.’’ DATES: Comments on this matching program must be received no later than August 30, 2019. If no public comment is received during the period allowed jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:09 Jul 30, 2019 Jkt 247001 for comment or unless otherwise published in the FR by VA, the new Agreement will become effective a minimum of 30 days after date of publication in the FR. If VA receives public comments, VA shall review the comments to determine whether any changes to the notice are necessary. This matching program will be valid for 18 months from the effective date of this notice. ADDRESSES: Written comments may be submitted through www.Regulations.gov; by mail or handdelivery to Director, Regulation Policy and Management (00REG), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Ave. NW, Room 1064, Washington, DC 20420; or by fax to (202) 273–9026 (not a toll-free number). Comments should indicate that they are submitted in response to ‘‘Disclosure of Information to Support the Veteran Affairs’ Seek to Prevent Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Initiative.’’ Copies of comments received will be available for public inspection in the Office of Regulation Policy and Management, Room 1063B, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (except holidays).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maggie Drye, Director, VA Office of Business Oversight Program Integrity Office, 1615 Woodward Street, Austin, TX 78744, (512) 386–2218. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Agreement establishes the terms, conditions, and procedures under which CMS will provide certain data to VA that supports the VA’s Seek to Prevent Fraud, Waste, and Abuse initiative. The data will be provided from CMS’ database of enrolled Medicare providers and suppliers (System of Records Notice [SORN] No. 09–70–0532, Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System [PECOS]). Using PECOS data in a matching program for this purpose will provide VA prompt access to extant information, using an efficient process that both eliminates the need to manually compare substantial numbers of data-intensive files and enables VA to leverage, instead of duplicating, the costly Advance Provider Screening process that CMS uses to check suitability of Medicare providers and generate the data in PECOS. Participating agencies: VA and CMS. Authority for conducting the matching program: This Agreement is executed pursuant to the Privacy Act (5 United States Code [U.S.C.] 552a) and PO 00000 Frm 00164 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37393 the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder; Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act, published at 81 FR 94424 (December 23, 2016); and OMB guidelines pertaining to computer matching published at 54 FR 25818 (June 19, 1989). Title 38 U.S.C. 7301(b) states that the primary function of VA is to provide a complete medical and hospital service for the care of eligible Veterans. In carrying out this function, including through contracts with external entities and providers, VA has an obligation to (1) ensure providers furnish care that is appropriate and safe and meets or exceeds professional standards for quality and (2), in the case of external providers, maintain billing integrity and compliance with contractual terms. The VA Accountability First Act of 2017 provides the VA Secretary the authority to expeditiously remove, demote, or suspend any VA employee, including Senior Executive Service employees, for performance or misconduct. Purpose(s): Under this matching program, VA internal and external providers will be matched against the database of Medicare providers and suppliers who have been revoked by CMS pursuant to 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 424.535. VA intends to review the information provided, perform additional validation, and if deemed appropriate, conduct further investigation or refer the matter to the VA Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for further investigation. Based on additional validation or investigation, should VA determine VA program requirements have been violated, VA intends to take action (or refer to the OIG for action) against the VA internal and external providers. Such action may be based on activities that endanger VA patients and/or reflect improper or erroneous billing practices related to claims for health care provided to VA beneficiaries. Actions VA may take include (1) terminating or modifying existing contractual or provider agreements; (2) stopping referral of VA patients to the VA external providers; (3) referring the VA internal and external providers to the OIG; (4) performing pre- or post-payment reviews of claims paid or submitted; or (5) taking disciplinary actions or removing, demoting, or suspending VA internal providers. Categories of individuals: VA internal and external health care providers will be matched against the database of Medicare providers who have been revoked by CMS under 42 CFR 424.535.
