2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Health
Reimbursement Arrangements and
Other Account-Based Group Health
Plans; Use: On June 20, 2019, the
Department of the Treasury, the
Department of Labor, and the
Department of Health and Human
Services (collectively, the Departments)
issued final regulations titled ‘‘Health
Reimbursement Arrangements and
Other Account-Based Group Health
Plans’’ (84 FR 28888) under section
2711 of the PHS Act and the health
nondiscrimination provisions of HIPAA,
Public Law 104–191 (HIPAA
nondiscrimination provisions). The
regulations expand the use of health
reimbursement arrangements and other
account-based group health plans
(collectively referred to as HRAs). In
general, the regulations expand the use
of HRAs by eliminating the current
prohibition on integrating HRAs with
individual health insurance coverage,
thereby permitting employers to offer
individual coverage HRAs to employees
that can be integrated with individual
health insurance coverage or Medicare.
Under the regulations employees will be
permitted to use amounts in an
individual coverage HRA to pay
expenses for medical care (including
premiums for individual health
insurance coverage and Medicare),
subject to certain requirements. This
information collection includes
provisions related to substantiation of
individual health insurance coverage
(45 CFR 146.123(c)(5)), the notice
requirement for individual coverage
HRAs (45 CFR 146.123(c)(6)), and
notification of termination of coverage
(45 CFR 146.123(c)(1)(iii)). Form
Number: CMS–10704 (OMB Control
Number 0938–1361); Frequency:

Sector, State Governments; Number of

Responses: 273,492; Total Annual

3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Affordable Care
Act Internal Claims and Appeals and
External Review Procedures for Nongrandfathered Group Health Plans and
Issuers and Individual Market Issuers;
Use: The information collection
requirements ensure that claimants
receive adequate information regarding
the plan’s claims procedures and the
plan’s handling of specific benefit
claims. Claimants need to understand
plan procedures and plan decisions in
order to appropriately request benefits
and/or appeal benefit denials. The
information collected in connection
with the HHS-administered federal
external review process is collected by
HHS, and is used to provide claimants
with an independent external review.

James R. Casey: Final Debarment
Order
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is issuing an
order under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) debarring
James R. Casey for a period of 5 years
from importing articles of food or
offering such articles for importation
into the United States. FDA bases this
order on a finding that Mr. Casey was

SUMMARY:

convicted, as defined in the FD&C Act,
of a felony count under Federal law for
conduct relating to the importation into
the United States of an article of food.
Mr. Casey was given notice of the
proposed permanent debarment and an
opportunity to request a hearing within
the timeframe prescribed by regulation.
As of June 30, 2019 (thirty days after
receipt of the notice), Mr. Casey had not
responded. Mr. Casey’s failure to
respond and request a hearing
constitutes a waiver of his right to a
hearing concerning this matter.
DATES: This order is applicable
November 29, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Submit applications for
termination of debarment to the
Division of Dockets Management, Food
and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers
Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jaime Espinosa (ELEM–4029) Division
of Enforcement, Office of Strategic
Planning and Operational Policy, Office
of Regulatory Affairs, Food and Drug
Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr.,
Rockville, MD 20857 or at debarments@
fda.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 306(b)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act
(21 U.S.C. 335a(b)(1)(C)) permits FDA to
debar an individual from importing an
article of food or offering such an article
for import into the United States if FDA
finds, as required by section
306(b)(3)(A) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
335a(b)(3)(A)), that the individual has
been convicted of a felony for conduct
relating to the importation into the
United States of any food.
On January 9, 2019, Mr. Casey was
convicted as defined in section
306(l)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, in the
United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, when the
court accepted his plea of guilty and
entered judgment against him for the
offense of conspiracy to violate the
Lacey Act in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371
and 16 U.S.C. 3372(d) and
3373(d)(3)(A)(ii).
FDA’s finding that the debarment is
appropriate is based on the felony
conviction referenced herein. The
factual basis for this conviction is as
follows: As contained in the Stipulation
of Facts incorporated into Mr. Casey’s
Plea Agreement, filed on September 26,
2018, from on or about 2010 to June
2015, while serving as the owner,
operator, and President of Casey’s
Seafood, Inc. (‘‘the company’’), Mr.
Casey regularly purchased foreign crab
meat from a variety of sources and from
a number of different countries. Mr.
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Casey also purchased foreign crab meat
that had been recalled, returned, or that
was approaching or beyond its posted
‘‘best used by’’ dates. Mr. Casey directed
company employees to unpack the
foreign crab meat from containers and
re-pack the crab meat into company
containers, all of which were labeled
‘‘Product of USA.’’ During that time
period, employees routinely emptied
foreign crab meat onto tables,
comingling crab meat from different
sources, and then re-packaged the crab
meat into company containers, all of
which were labeled ‘‘Product of USA.’’
From on or about July 1, 2012 and
continuing until June 17, 2015, Mr.
Casey caused to be sold at least 367, 765
pounds of crab meat falsely labeled
‘‘Product of USA’’ with a total
wholesale value of approximately $4,
324, 916.
As a result of this conviction, FDA
sent Mr. Casey by certified mail on May
22, 2019, a notice proposing to debar
him a period of 5 years from importing
articles of food or offering such articles
for import into the United States. The
proposal was based on a finding under
section 306(b)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 335a(b)(1)(C)) that Mr. Casey’s
felony conviction of conspiracy to
violate the Lacey Act in violation of 18
U.S.C. 371 and 16 U.S.C. 3372(d) and
3373(d)(3)(A)(ii) constitutes conduct
relating to the importation into the
United States of an article of food
because the offense he committed
involved falsely labeling crab meat that
was imported from a number of foreign
countries as ‘‘Product of USA.’’
The proposal was also based on a
determination, after consideration of the
relevant factors set forth in section
306(c)(3) of the FD&C Act, that Mr.
Casey should be subject to a 5-year
period of debarment. The proposal also
offered Mr. Casey an opportunity to
request a hearing, providing him 30
days from the date of receipt of the letter
in which to file the request, and advised
him that failure to request a hearing
constituted a waiver of the opportunity
for a hearing and of any contentions
concerning this action. Mr. Casey failed
to respond within the timeframe
prescribed by regulation and has,
therefore, waived his opportunity for a
hearing and waived any contentions
concerning his debarment (21 CFR part
12).
II. Findings and Order
Therefore, the Assistant
Commissioner, Office of Human and
Animal Food Operations, under section
306(b)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act, under
authority delegated to the Assistant
Commissioner, finds that Mr. Casey has
