SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘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. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Electronic
Funds Transfer Authorization
Agreement; Use: Section 1815(a) of the
Social Security Act provides the
authority for the Secretary of Health and
Human Services to pay providers/
suppliers of Medicare services at such
time or times as the Secretary
determines appropriate (but no less
frequently than monthly). Under
Medicare, CMS, acting for the Secretary,
contracts with Fiscal Intermediaries and
Carriers to pay claims submitted by
providers/suppliers who furnish
services to Medicare beneficiaries.
Under CMS’ payment policy, Medicare
providers/suppliers have the option of
receiving payments electronically. The
collection and verification of this
information via Form CMS–588 protects
our beneficiaries from illegitimate
health care providers/suppliers. These
procedures also protect the Medicare
Trust Funds against fraud. No

Title of the Collection: United States
Core Data for Interoperability New Data
Element Submission Form.
Type of Collection: Continuation with
revision.
OMB No.: 0955–0020—Office of the
National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology—United States
Core Data for Interoperability.
Abstract: The Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology is seeking the extension of
approval with revision for the
information collection request item
‘‘United States Core Data for
Interoperability (USCDI) New Data
Element Submission Form.’’ The USCDI
is a standardized set of health data
classes and constituent data elements
used to support nationwide,
interoperable health information
exchange. The USCDI Version 1 is the
required standard data elements set to
which all health IT developers must
conform to obtain ONC certification.
This certification is required for
participation in some federal healthcare
payment plans. In order to insure the
USCDI remains current and reflects the
needs of the health IT community, ONC
has established a predictable,
transparent, and collaborative process to
solicit broad stakeholder input to
expand the USCDI. Anyone, including
ONC staff, staff from other federal
agencies, and other stakeholders may
submit proposals for new data elements
and classes. ONC will evaluate each
submission and provide feedback to the
submitter. ONC will draft a new version
of the USCDI based on these
submissions and this draft will undergo
review by ONC’s federal advisory
committee, the Health Information
Technology Advisory Committee
(HITAC), as well as by the general
public. Upon approval by the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology, new data classes and data
elements from these submissions will be
added to the newest version of the
USCDI standard for integration into
health information technology products
such as electronic health records. ONC
is seeking approval to continue to
collect this information from health IT
stakeholders, with some revisions to the
information requested.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information collected
from this submission system is needed,
as it will comprise the sum total of the
items ONC will evaluate for addition to

08MYN1
29673
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 88 / Monday, May 8, 2023 / Notices
the next version of the USCDI. The
requested data will provide supporting
documentation to justify addition of the
data elements to the USCDI, and, if the
documentation does justify addition to
the USCDI, and assignment to one of
several levels of candidate data
elements for future development and
consideration. The requested data and
ONC’s evaluation of the data will be
publicly available for review at any time
to provide transparency and
predictability in the USCDI expansion
process. It will contain information
about the submitter to allow ONC to
provide direct feedback to submitters on
ONC’s evaluation of such submission.

Likely Respondents: Likely
respondents to this new submission

HITAC.
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is
accepting applications for grants for the
Community Health Aide Program
(CHAP) Tribal Assessment and Planning
(TAP) program. This program is
authorized under the Snyder Act, 25
U.S.C. 13; the Transfer Act, 42 U.S.C.
2001(a); and the Indian Health Care
Improvement Act, 25 U.S.C. 1616l. The
Assistance Listings section of SAM.gov
(https://sam.gov/content/home)
describes this program under 93.382.
Background
The national CHAP will provide a
network of health aides trained to
support licensed health professionals
while providing direct health care,
health promotion, and disease
prevention services. These providers
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
will work within a referral relationship
under the supervision of licensed
clinical providers that includes clinics,
service units, and hospitals. The CHAP
aides increased access to direct health
services, including inpatient and
outpatient visits.
The Alaska CHAP has become a
model for efficient and high quality
health care delivery in rural Alaska
providing approximately 300,000
patient encounters per year and
responding to emergencies 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. Specialized
providers in dental and behavioral
health were later introduced to respond
to the needs of patients and address the
health disparities in oral health and
mental health amongst American Indian
and Alaska Natives.
The national CHAP is a workforce
model that includes three different
provider types that act as extenders of
their licensed clinical supervisor. The
national CHAP currently includes a
behavioral health aide, community
health aide, and dental health aide.
Each of the health aide categories
operate in a tiered level practice system.
The national CHAP model provides an
opportunity for increased access to care
through the extension of primary care,
dental, and behavioral health clinicians.
In 2010, under the permanent
reauthorization of the Indian Health
Care Improvement Act (IHCIA),
Congress provided the Secretary of
Health and Human Services, acting
through the IHS, the authority to expand
the CHAP nationally. In 2016, the IHS
initiated Tribal Consultation on
expanding the CHAP to the contiguous
48 states. In 2018, the HIS formed the
CHAP Tribal Advisory Group (TAG) and
began developing the program. In 2020,
the IHS announced the national CHAP
policy, which formally created the
national CHAP.

Purpose
The TAP program purpose is to
support the assessment and planning of
Tribes and Tribal Organizations (T/TO)
in determining the feasibility of
implementing CHAP in their respective
communities. The program is designed
to support the regional flexibility
required for T/TO to design a program
unique to the needs of their individual
communities across the country through
the identification of feasibility factors.
The focus of the program is to:
Part 1: Assess whether the T/TO can
integrate CHAP into the Tribal health
system including the health care
workforce.
Part 2: Identify systemic barriers that
prohibit the complete integration of
CHAP into an existing health care
system. The barriers should be related
to:
• Clinical infrastructure.
• Workforce barriers.
• Certification of providers.
• Training of providers.
• Inclusion of culture in the services
provided by a CHAP provider.
Part 3: Plan partnerships across the T/
TO geographic region to address the
barriers including reimbursement,
training, education, clinical
infrastructure, implementation cost, and
determination of system integration.
II. Award Information
Funding Instrument—Grant
Estimated Funds Available
The total funding identified for fiscal
year (FY) 2023 is approximately
$1,500,000. Individual award amounts
for the first budget year are anticipated
to be between $250,000 and $500,000.
The funding available for competing
and subsequent continuation awards
issued under this announcement is
subject to the availability of
appropriations and budgetary priorities
