Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 54220 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 170 / Friday, September 2, 2022 / Notices • Consultation Policy: Provide research support on the use and effectiveness of the CMS Tribal Consultation Policy, national consultations and listening sessions with Tribes on CMS program issues, and annual HHS National and Regional Consultation Sessions with Tribes. Track issues raised at Tribal consultation/listening sessions and develop an executive summary on key issues and recommended actions for resolution and/or further analysis. • Enrollment and Outreach: Evaluate the effectiveness of CMS outreach and enrollment efforts to AI/ANs enrolled in CMS-regulated programs by conducting quarterly trainings on these programs for Tribal enrollment assisters, ITU providers, ITU third-party resource staff, and AI/ANs. NIHB will complete an assessment and compile best practices to increase AI/AN enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and Health Insurance Marketplace® coverage. In addition, NIHB, in collaboration with CMS, will develop culturally appropriate Tribal outreach materials. The information NIHB uses to evaluate CMS outreach and enrollment efforts will be collected based on feedback from CMS annual ITU trainings, AI/AN outreach events, and other data sources. NIHB, in collaboration with Tribal leadership and CMS, will summarize lessons learned and make recommendations on how CMS could improve AI/AN outreach efforts in Indian Country. CMS has sought an application from NIHB for a third five-year single source award, under the same authority. Through its two previous cooperative agreements, since 2012, NIHB has provided analysis and research on the potential and actual impact of CMS policies and guidance on AI/ANs and the Indian Health Care System. The work has included analysis and research on Medicare and Medicaid enrollment of AI/ANs in order to gain a better understanding of AI/AN utilization of CMS programs. In addition, NIHB has been instrumental in tracking CMS regulation and policy changes, and has provided a better understanding of the implications that CMS regulations and guidance have had for Indian Health Care System providers and AI/AN individuals. This includes evaluating the impact of effective and meaningful Tribal consultation. NIHB has a long history of providing unique forums for showcasing how CMS works within Indian Country to promote enrollment of AI/ANs and Indian Health Care System providers in CMS programs. Based on this past experience, NIHB is the only entity capable of carrying out the scope of activities in Fiscal Years (FY) 2022–2027 because the scope of the work that would be performed under this award builds on past experience and knowledge. Any other source would not have all of the knowledge and experience NIHB has gained in the last ten years. Amount of the Award The total amount of funding available over a 5-year period will be up to $4,000,000 pending availability of funds and satisfactory performance by the recipient. The cooperative agreement will be awarded consistent with the overall quality of the proposal and the applicant’s ability to meet project goals. The amount of funding awarded will be no more than $800,000 per 12-month budget period, subject to availability of funds, and there will be five 12-month budget periods under this award. Funding for budget periods 2–5 is noncompetitive and is subject to the availability of funds as well as satisfactory performance of the recipient. The total award will not exceed $4,000,000. Project Period The anticipated period of performance for this cooperative agreement is September 29, 2022 through September 28, 2027 with funding awarded in 12-month budget increments subject to the availability of funds and satisfactory performance. Justification for Single Source Award In 2012, CMS awarded a five-year single-source cooperative agreement to NIHB under Section 1110 of the Social Security Act and in 2017, CMS awarded a second five-year single source cooperative agreement to NIHB under the same authority. With this NOFO, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:40 Sep 01, 2022 Jkt 256001 III.
