or medically unnecessary care. Patterns
or trends of drug therapy problems are
identified and reviewed to determine
the need for intervention activity with
pharmacists and/or physicians. States
may conduct interventions via
telephone, correspondence, or face-toface contact. The states and managed
care organizations (MCOs) are provided
the reporting instrument (a survey) by
CMS, and by responding to the survey,
the states generate annual reports which
are submitted to CMS for the purposes
of monitoring compliance and
evaluating the progress of states’ DUR
programs. The survey and the annual
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements under the pertinent
regulations, are completed by
pharmacists employed by, or contracted
with the various state Medicaid
programs and their MCOs. The annual
reports submitted by states are reviewed
and results are compiled by CMS in a
format intended to provide information,
comparisons and trends related to
states’ experiences with DUR. The states
benefit from the information and may
enhance their programs each year based
on state reported innovative practices
that are compiled by CMS from the
annual reports. A comparison/summary
of the data from the annual reports is
published on Medicaid.gov annually,
and serves as a resource for
stakeholders, including but not limited
to states, manufacturers, researchers,
congress, CMS, the Office of Inspector
General, non-governmental payers and
clinicians on the topic of DUR in state
Medicaid programs. Form Number:
CMS–R–153 (OMB control number:
0938–0659); Frequency: Yearly,
quarterly, and occasionally; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:

4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement without change
of a currently approved collection; Title
of Information Collection: Electronic
Submission of Medicare Graduate
Medical Education (GME) Affiliation
Agreements; Use: Existing regulations at
§ 413.75(b) permit hospitals that share
residents to elect to form a Medicare
GME affiliated group if they are in the
same or contiguous urban or rural areas,
if they are under common ownership, or
if they are jointly listed as program
sponsors or major participating
institutions in the same program by the
accrediting agency. The purpose of a
Medicare GME affiliated group is to
provide flexibility to hospitals in

structuring rotations under an aggregate
full time equivalent (FTE) resident cap
when they share residents. The existing
regulations at § 413.79(f)(1) specify that
each hospital in a Medicare GME
affiliated group must submit a Medicare
GME affiliation agreement (as defined
under § 413.75(b)) to the Medicare
Administrative Contractor (MAC)
servicing the hospital and send a copy
to the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Central
Office, no later than July 1 of the
residency program year during which
the Medicare GME affiliation agreement
will be in effect.
CMS will use the information
contained in electronic affiliation
agreements as documentation of the
existence of Medicare GME affiliations,
and to verify that the affiliations being
formed by teaching hospitals for the
purposes of sharing their Medicare GME
FTE cap slots are valid according to
CMS regulations. CMS will also use
these affiliation agreements as reference
materials when potential issues
involving specific affiliations arise.
While we have used hard copies of
affiliation agreements for those same
purposes in the past, we implemented
this electronic submission process in
order to expedite and ease the process
of retrieving, analyzing and evaluating
affiliation agreements. Form Number:
CMS–10326 (OMB control number:
0938–1111); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Private Sector, Business
or other for profits, Not for profit
institutions; Number of Respondents:

Child Care (OCC) is requesting a 3-year
extension of the form ACF–118A: Child
Care and Development Fund for Tribes
(Office of Management and Budget #
0970–0198, expiration April 4, 2025) for
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026–2028.
There are changes proposed to the form
to improve formatting, streamline
questions, and reduce burden.
SUMMARY:
Comments due within
September 3, 2024. In compliance with
the requirements of section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
DATES:
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: The Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (the
Plan) for Tribes is required from each
CCDF Lead Agency in accordance with
section 658E of the Child Care and
Development Block Grant Act of 1990
(CCDBG Act), as amended, CCDBG Act
of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–186), and 42 U.S.C.
9858. The majority of the Plan in this
request is for tribal Lead Agencies that
receive their funding directly from ACF,
and does not apply to Tribes that
consolidate their funding into approved
102–477 plans. However, all Tribes
receiving CCDF funding must complete
the triennial child count, which is part
of the Plan. The Plan, submitted in the
Child Care Automated Reporting
System, is required triennially, and
remains in effect for 3 years. The Plan
provides ACF and the public with a
description of, and assurance about the
Tribes’ child care programs. These Plans
are the applications for CCDF funds.
OCC made the following changes
based on feedback from tribes, including
several listening sessions conducted
over the past year:
• Reduced the burden overall by
streamlining and removing questions;
• Revised questions based on 2024
CCDF final rule;
• Improved skip patterns to reduce
burden; and
• Edited the document for plain
language.
Respondents: Tribal CCDF Lead
Agencies.

received supplemental funding to cover
the costs of administration and
provision of assistance.
To meet the terms of the Settlement
Agreement, ORR will make housing
assistance available to Ms. L. Settlement
Class members, as determined necessary
by a benefits administrator during a 12month eligibility period. This may
include assistance in locating housing;
paying costs necessary to attain housing,
such as a security deposit and first and
last month’s rent; and assistance to
avoid eviction and meet other
emergency housing needs during the 12month eligibility period. Housing
assistance will be for no more than a
total of 6 months during the 12-month
eligibility period absent extraordinary
circumstances. ORR will work with
Church World Service (CWS), US
Committee for Refugees and Immigrants
(USCRI), and HIAS to assign cases to
each for housing assistance.
The recipients will employ benefit
administrators, who will meet with each
family (in person or virtually) and
review the family’s housing situation
and budget. As needed, the family will
be provided with rental assistance,
assistance locating housing, and
assistance in arrangements of deposits
(typically first and last month’s rent).
It is anticipated that to fully
implement the Settlement Agreement,
ORR will provide housing assistance
through FY 2029.
ORR will supplement these three
recipients for services for the remainder
or FY 2024 and will provide additional
supplemental funding for services in FY
2025 and FY 2026.
