prospective payment system (OPPS), we
created a set of New Technology
ambulatory payment classifications
(APCs) to pay for certain new
technology services under the OPPS.
These APCs are intended to pay for new
technology services that were not
covered by the transitional pass-through
payments provisions authorized by the
Balanced Budget Refinement Act
(BBRA) of 1999.
Since implementation of the OPPS on
August 1, 2000, transitional passthrough payments have been made to
hospitals for certain drugs, biologicals,
and medical devices. These are
temporary additional payments required
by section 1833(t)(6) of the Social
Security Act which was added by
section 201(b) of the BBRA. The law
required the Secretary to make these
additional payments to hospitals for at
least 2 but no more than 3 years.
In the April 7, 2000 final rule with
comment period, we specified an
application process and the information
that must be supplied for us to consider
a request for payment under the New
Technology APCs (65 FR 18478). We
posted the application process on our
website at www.cms.hhs.gov. Services
were only considered eligible for
assignment to a New Technology APC if
we listed them in one of a number of
lists published in Medicare Program
Memoranda, which are posted to our
website (https://www.cms.gov/
medicare/regulations-guidance/
transmittals/cms-program-memoranda).
We established a quarterly application
process by which interested parties
could submit applications to us for
particular services. We assign new
services to the New Technology APCs
that we determine cannot be placed
appropriately in clinical APCs. Under
our current policy, we retain services in
a New Technology APC until we gain
sufficient information about actual
hospital costs incurred to furnish a new
technology service. Form Number:
CMS–10054 (OMB control number:
0938–0860); Frequency: Once; Affected
Public: Private sector, Business or other

Administration for Community Living
Announcing the Intent To Award a
Single-Source Supplement for the
National Paralysis Resource Center
(PRC)
Administration for Community
Living, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Community Living (ACL) announces the
intent to award a single-source
supplement to the current cooperative
agreement held by the Christopher and
Dana Reeve Foundation. The National
Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC) is
operated by the Christopher and Dana
Reeve Foundation and offers important
programmatic opportunities for persons
with disabilities and older adults. The
NPRC provides comprehensive
information for people living with
spinal cord injury, paralysis, and
mobility-related disabilities and their
families. Resources include information
and referral by phone and email in
multiple languages; a peer and family
support mentoring program; a military
and veterans’ program; multicultural
outreach services; multiple quality of
life grants; and a national website. The
administrative supplement for FY 2024
will be in the amount of $1,300,000,
bringing the total award for FY 2024 to
$10,000,000.
DATES: The supplement award will be
issued to extend the project period to
August 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information or comments
regarding this program supplement,

Administration on Disabilities, Office of
Disability Services Innovations;
telephone (202) 475–2482; email
elizabeth.leef@acl.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the supplemental funding is
to support the expansion the National
Paralysis Resource Center to improve
the health and quality of life of
individuals living with paralysis and
their families by raising awareness of
and facilitating access to a broad range
of services relevant to individuals with
paralysis. With the additional funding,
the NPRC will work to expand the
National Resource and Information
Center; increase the health and quality
of life of Americans with disabilities
living with paralysis; increase support
and resources to people with paralysis,

their families and caregivers; expand
collaboration with federal agencies and
other national organizations that have a
vested interested in the paralysis
community; and strengthen
performance measures.
Program Name: National Paralysis
Resource Center.
Recipient: Christopher and Dana
Reeve Foundation.
Period of Performance: The
supplement award will be issued for the
current project period, July 1, 2024,
through June 30, 2025.
Award Amount: $1,300,000.
Award Type: Cooperative Agreement.
Basis for Award: The Christopher and
Dana Reeve Foundation is currently
funded to carry out the National
Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC) for
the period of July 1, 2024, through June
30, 2025. As a result of the 2024 budget,
Congress appropriated additional funds
for the expansion of the NPRC. It would
be unnecessarily time consuming and
disruptive to the NPRC project and the
beneficiaries being served for the ACL to
establish a new grantee at this time
when critical services are presently
being provided in an efficient manner.
Statutory Authority: This program is
authorized under Section 317 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
247(b–4)); Consolidated and Further
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016,
Public Law 114–113 (Dec. 18, 2015).
