relying on automated review systems for
processing initial applications to
become a PACE organization and
expansion applications for existing
PACE organizations. In addition, the
final rule will modify the PACE
regulations to eliminate the need for
PACE organizations to request waivers
for a number of the most commonly
waived provisions. This latter change is
expected to reduce burden and improve
efficiency for POs, state administering
agencies, and CMS.
In addition to codifying the current
automated processes for the submission
and review of both initial and service
area expansion applications, this rule
modifies existing regulatory provisions
and requirements. As a result, certain
attestations associated with the
application are no longer applicable,
and others need to be updated to reflect
updated regulatory requirements. We
are also making minor tweaks to certain
document upload requirements for
clarification purposes based on
experience reviewing applications.

or 202–795–7425.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA Federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘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.
The PRA requires Federal agencies to
provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed
collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, ACL is publishing a notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, ACL invites
comments on our burden estimates or
any other aspect of this collection of
information, including:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of ACL’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of ACL’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used
to determine burden estimates; (3) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
The Office of Healthcare Information
and Counseling (OHIC) hosts an annual
national training conference for the
federally funded programs that it
Number of
respondents
Respondent/data collection activity
administers. The audience for this
training conference includes attendees
from State Health Insurance Assistance
Program (SHIP) and Senior Medicare
Patrol (SMP) programs, which are two
nationally recognized programs that
provide Medicare information and
counseling to Medicare beneficiaries
and help fight Medicare fraud through
prevention and education. Grantee
leadership is required to attend this
training annually to ensure they receive
critical information and technical
assistance needed to help them
successfully meet the requirements of
their grant awards. Grantees are
encouraged to bring up to three (3)
people from each program. Programs
operate in each of the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
The information collected in this
survey is necessary to ensure that ACL
is meeting the technical assistance
needs of the attendees and to capture
valuable feedback to be used for future
training meetings. By gathering feedback
on the quality of the training and
content provided, we can ensure
attendee satisfaction and gather
information for future planning. ACL
administers a contract to develop and
provide the training conference
evaluation tool for ACL’s approval.
They also disseminate a tool to all
participants following each training
conference to evaluate attendee
satisfaction. This training conference
survey is introduced and explained
during the program specific meetings
and during the general session on the
first day of the training conference. The
survey is not mandatory, but is
reinforced as a way for ACL to provide
useful, engaging sessions that assist the
attendees in successfully meeting the
requirements of their grant awards. This
evaluation tool will gather feedback on
the quality of the training and content
provided and the experience of the
attendees to be used for future planning.
The proposed data collection tools
may be found on the ACL website for
review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input.
Estimated Program Burden: ACL
estimates the burden associated with
this collection of information as follows:
