department and other public health and
community partners; and (4) provide
technical assistance to field staff.
The National Foundation for the
Centers for Disease Control &
Prevention, Inc (CDCF) is the only entity
that can carry out this work because
they have earned the trust of health
departments and their partners and have
been supporting them with this very
need by strengthening the public health
infrastructure, systems and services for
overdose prevention and surveillance
efforts for five years through CDC–RFA–
OT18–1802. CDCF has a proven track
record of successfully recruiting,
training, retaining, and building
capacity of the public health workforce
to support overdose prevention
programs such as Overdose Data to
Action (OD2A) and the Overdose
Response Strategy (ORS)and has
established a clear process for
infrastructure and capacity building
needs. CDCF is widely recognized by
public health entities and partners and
is the only organization that was created
by Congress to mobilize philanthropic
and private-sector resources to support
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) critical health
protection work which has been critical
in allowing this program to support
capacity building within state, tribal,
local, and territorial health departments
and partnership development across all
facets of public health.

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: Reinstatement without change
of a previously approved collection;
Title of Information Collection: Patient
Access through Application
Programming Interfaces (API); Use: This
final rule is the first phase of policies
centrally focused on advancing
interoperability and patient access to
health information using the authority
available to the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS). We believe
this is an important step in advancing
interoperability, putting patients at the
center of their health care, and ensuring
they have electronic access to their
health information. We are committed
to working with stakeholders to solve
the issue of interoperability and getting
patients access to information about
their health care, and we are taking an
active approach to move participants in
the health care market toward
interoperability and the secure and
timely exchange of electronic health
information by adopting policies for the
Medicare and Medicaid programs, the

issuers on the individual market
Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs).
For purposes of this rule, references to
QHP issuers on the FFEs excludes
issuers offering only stand-alone dental
plans (SADPs). Likewise, we are also
excluding QHP issuers only offering
QHPs in the Federally-facilitated Small
Business Health Options Program
Exchanges (FF–SHOPs) from the
provisions of this rule. This rule
requires these impacted payers to
maintain and use standards-based APIs
to make certain information available to
enrollees. CMS regulations at 42 CFR
417.414, 417.416, 422.112(a)(1)(i), and
422.114(a)(3)(ii) require that all
Medicare Advantage organizations
(MAOs) offering coordinated care plans,
network-based private fee-for-service
(PFFS) plans, and as well as section
1876 cost organizations, maintain a
network of appropriate providers that is
sufficient to provide adequate access to
covered services to meet the needs of
the population served. To enforce this
requirement, CMS regulations at
§ 422.116 outline network adequacy
criteria which set forth the minimum
number of providers and maximum
travel time and distance from enrollees
to providers, for required provider
specialty types in each county in the
United States and its territories.
Organizations must be in compliance
with the current CMS network adequacy
criteria guidance, which is updated and
published annually on CMS’s website.
This collection of information is
essential to appropriate and timely
compliance monitoring by CMS, in
order to ensure that all active contracts
offering network-based plans maintain
an adequate network. Form Number:

0938–1412); Frequency: Occasionally;
