for health care services rendered to
Medicare beneficiaries. CMS requires
that providers follow reasonable cost
principles under 1861(v)(1)(A) of the
Act when completing the Medicare cost
report (MCR). Regulations at 42 CFR
413.20 and 413.24 require that providers
submit acceptable cost reports on an
annual basis and maintain sufficient
financial records and statistical data,
capable of verification by qualified
auditors.
ESRD facilities participating in the
Medicare program submit these cost
reports annually to report cost and
statistical data used by CMS to
determine reasonable costs incurred for
furnishing dialysis services to Medicare
beneficiaries and to effect the year-end
cost settlement for Medicare bad debts.
Form Number: CMS–265–11 (OMB
control number: 0938–0236); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Private
Sector, Business or other for-profits,
State, Local, or Tribal Governments);

5. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement without change;
Title of Information Collection: Good
Cause Processes; Use: Section
1851(g)(3)(B)(i) of the Act provides that
MA organizations may terminate the
enrollment of individuals who fail to
pay basic and supplemental premiums
after a grace period established by the
plan. Section 1860D–1(b)(1)(B)(v) of the
Act generally directs us to establish
rules related to enrollment,
disenrollment, and termination for Part
D plan sponsors that are similar to those
established for MA organizations under
section 1851 of the Act. Consistent with
these sections of the Act, subpart B in
each of the Parts C and D regulations
sets forth requirements with respect to
involuntary disenrollment procedures at
42 CFR 422.74 and 423.44, respectively.
In addition, section 1876(c)(3)(B)
establishes that individuals may be
disenrolled from coverage as specified
in regulations. Thus, current regulations
at 42 CFR 417.460 specify that a cost
plan, specifically a Health Maintenance
Organization (HMO) or competitive
medical plan (CMP), may disenroll a
member who fails to pay premiums or
other charges imposed by the plan for
deductible and coinsurance amounts.
These good cause provisions
authorize CMS to reinstate a disenrolled
individual’s enrollment without
interruption in coverage if the nonpayment is due to circumstances that
the individual could not reasonably
foresee or could not control, such as an

unexpected hospitalization. At its
inception, the process of accepting,
reviewing, and processing beneficiary
requests for reinstatement for good
cause was carried out exclusively by
CMS. Form Number: CMS–10544 (OMB
control number: 0938–1271); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Business or

ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS),
requests Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval to extend
approval of the ACF Behavioral
Interventions to Advance SelfSufficiency Next Generation (BIAS–NG)
Project Overarching Generic (OMB #:
0970–0502; Expiration date: 8/31/2022).
Under this overarching generic, ACF
collects data as part of rapid cycle
testing and evaluation, in order to
inform the design of interventions
informed by behavioral science and to
better understand the mechanisms and
effects of such interventions.
Interventions have been and will
continue to be developed in the program
area domains of Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF), child
welfare, and Early Head Start/Head Start
(EHS/HS). These interventions are
intended to improve outcomes for
participants in these programs. No
changes are proposed.

Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OPRE is conducting the
BIAS–NG project, which uses
behavioral insights to design and test
interventions intended to improve the
efficiency, operations, and efficacy of
human services programs. The BIAS–
NG project is applying and testing
behavioral insights to ACF programs
including TANF, Child Welfare, and
EHS/HS. This notice is a request for
comments on ACF’s proposal to extend
approval of the overarching generic.
Under the approved pilot generic
clearance, OPRE has already completed
work with five sites and has conducted
five tests. The extended approval would
allow OPRE to continue to work with at
least three additional sites, conducting
one or more tests of behavioral
interventions. The design and testing of
BIAS–NG interventions is rapid and, to
the extent possible, iterative. Each
specific intervention is designed in
consultation with agency leaders and
launched as quickly as possible. To
maximize the likelihood that the
intervention produces measurable,
significant, and positive effects on
outcomes of interest, rapid cycle
evaluation techniques will be employed
in which proximate outcomes will be
measured to allow the research team to
more quickly iterate and adjust the
intervention design, informing
subsequent tests. Due to the rapid and
iterative nature of this work, OPRE
sought and received generic clearance to
conduct this research. Following
standard OMB requirements for generic
clearances, once instruments requiring
burden are tailored to a specific site and
the site’s intervention, OPRE submits an
individual generic information
collection request under this umbrella
clearance. Each request includes the
individual instrument(s), a justification
specific to the individual information
collection, a description of the proposed
intervention, and any supplementary
documents. Each specific information
collection includes up to two
submissions—one submission for the
formative stage research and another
submission for any further data

of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
