Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 27, 2023 / Notices
1862(a)(1)(E) of the Act. Consistent with
section 1142 of the Act, AHRQ
collaborates with CMS to define
standards for clinical research studies to
address the CED questions and meet the
general standards for CED studies
(https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/
Coverage/Coverage-with-EvidenceDevelopment). Since we anticipate that
many of the NCDs conducted under the
TCET pathway will result in CED
decisions, AHRQ will continue to
review all CED NCDs consistent with
current practice. Additionally, AHRQ
will collaborate with CMS as resources
allow to evaluate the Evidence Preview
and EDP and will have opportunities to
offer feedback throughout the process
that will be shared with manufacturers.
AHRQ will be a partner with CMS as the
Evidence Preview and EDP are being
developed and approvals for these
documents will be a joint CMS–AHRQ
decision.
F. TCET and Parallel Review
While the TCET pathway will be
limited to Breakthrough Devices, other
potential expedited coverage
mechanisms, such as Parallel Review,
remain available. Eligibility for the
Parallel Review program is broader than
for the TCET pathway and could
facilitate expedited CMS review of nonBreakthrough Devices. To achieve
greater efficiency and to simplify the
coverage process generally, CMS
intends to work with FDA to consider
updates to the Parallel Review program
and other initiatives to align procedures,
as appropriate.

G. Prioritizing Requests
CMS intends to review TCET pathway
nominations and respond within 30
days after receipt of the email. At
present, CMS anticipates accepting up
to five TCET candidates annually due to
CMS resource constraints. CMS intends
to prioritize innovative medical devices
that, as determined by CMS, have the
potential to benefit the greatest number
of individuals with Medicare.
III. Collection of Information
Requirements
Based on our initial assessment of
Breakthrough Devices applying the
characteristics we list in II.C. of this
notice with comment period regarding
appropriate candidates for the TCET
pathway, we anticipate that we will
receive approximately eight
nominations for the TCET pathway per
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
year. Due to current CMS resource
constraints, we do not anticipate the
TCET pathway will accept more than
five candidates per year. Since we
estimate fewer than 10 respondents, the
information collection requirements are
exempt in accordance with the
implementing regulations of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) at 5
CFR 1320.3(c). As we gain experience
with the TCET pathway, if we receive a
higher number of respondents than
anticipated, we will provide an updated
analysis.
IV. Response to Comments
Because of the large number of public
comments, we normally receive on
Federal Register documents, we are not
able to acknowledge or respond to them
individually. We will consider all
comments we receive by the date and
time specified in the DATES section of
this notice, and, when we proceed with
a subsequent document, we will
respond to the comments in that
document.

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.

You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
ADDRESSES:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This request includes the
following information collections: work
verification procedures, the Caseload
Reduction Documentation Process, the
TANF Data Report, the Separate State
Program (SSP)-Maintenance of Effort
(MOE) Data Report, and TANF sampling
instructions. The data and information
from these reports and processes are
used—and will continue to be used—for
program analysis and oversight,
including the calculation and
administration of the work participation
rate and associated penalties. Congress
provides federal funds to operate TANF
programs in the states, the District of
Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and for approved
federally recognized tribes and Alaskan
Native Villages. We are proposing to
continue the same information
collections with only changes to
instructions to improve clarity and
eliminate data elements and guidance
that are no longer relevant. The Work
Verification Plan Guidance has been
updated to incorporate further guidance
that was published in 2006. The TANF
and SSP–MOE Data Report instructions
were revised to streamline the data
collection, reduce the burden on
respondents by eliminating unnecessary
data elements, and clarify confusing
data elements. The TANF and SSP–
MOE Data Report layouts were also
updated to reflect the streamlined
instructions. The TANF Sample Manual
was revised to eliminate outdated and
unused sections.
Respondents: The 50 states of the
U.S., the District of Columbia, Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
