Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 18 / Tuesday, January 28, 2020 / Notices
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 285 per year.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 0.78 per
year.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
40,089 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$3,067,546. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $3,067,546 and an
estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average approximately 121
hours per response. Burden is defined
in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
III. Are there changes in the estimates
from the last approval?
There is decrease of 26,861 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
decrease reflects EPA’s expectation of
decreased submissions. In the previous
ICR period, the rule required an initial
one-time reporting on current
nanomaterials, while the reporting
covered in this period only requires the
reporting of new nanomaterials.
Furthermore, burden estimates assume
that the same manufacturers will report
each year and, therefore, will have
already undertaken rule familiarization
in the previous ICR period. Wage rates
were also updated to reflect 2018
dollars. This change is an adjustment in
estimates.

IV. What is the next step in the process
for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal
Register document pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the technical
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a, as
added by the Hart-Scott-Rodino

Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health
Plan Survey Database
AHRQ requests that OMB reapprove
AHRQ’s collection of information for
the AHRQ Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) Health Plan Survey Database:
OMB Control number 0935–0165,
expiration May 31, 2020 (the CAHPS
Health Plan Database). The CAHPS
Health Plan Database consists of data
from the AHRQ CAHPS Health Plan
Survey. Health plans in the U.S. are
asked to voluntarily submit data from
the survey to AHRQ, through its
contractor, Westat. The CAHPS Health
Plan Database was developed by AHRQ
in 1998 in response to requests from
health plans, purchasers, and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) to provide comparative
data to support public reporting of
health plan ratings, health plan
accreditation and quality improvement.
This research has the following goals:
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(1) To maintain the CAHPS Health
Plan Database using data from AHRQ’s
standardized CAHPS Health Plan
Survey to provide results to health care
purchasers, consumers, regulators and
policy makers across the country.
(2) To offer several products and
services, including aggregated results
presented through an Online Reporting
System, summary chartbooks, custom
analyses, and data for research
purposes.
(3) To provide data for AHRQ’s
annual National Healthcare Quality and
Disparities Report.
(4) To provide state-level data to CMS
for public reporting on Medicaid.gov
and Data.Medicaid.gov that does not
display the name of the health plans.
Survey data from the CAHPS Health
Plan Database is used to produce four
types of products: (1) An annual
chartbook available to the public on the
CAHPS Database website (https://
www.cahpsdatabase.ahrq.gov/
CAHPSIDB/Public/Chartbook.aspx); (2)
individual participant reports that are
confidential and customized for each
participating organization (e.g., health
plan, Medicaid agency) that submits
their data; (3) a research database
available to researchers wanting to
conduct additional analyses; and (4)
data tables provided to AHRQ for
inclusion in the National Healthcare
Quality and Disparities Reports.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Westat,
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
healthcare and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services; quality measurement and
development, and database
development. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1), (2)
