Affected Public: Individuals and
Households; Number of Respondents:
1,184,546; Total Annual Responses:

4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Application for
Medicare Part A and Part B Special
Enrollment Period (Exceptional
Circumstances); Use: Section 1837(m) of
the Social Security Act (the Act)
provides authority for the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human
Services to establish SEPs for
individuals who are eligible to enroll in
Medicare and meet such exceptional
conditions as the Secretary may
provide.
CMS provides SEPs for individuals
experiencing an exceptional
circumstance to enroll in Medicare
premium Part A and Part B. To utilize
these SEPs, an individual would have to
submit an enrollment request via the
form CMS–10797. The form is used by
individuals who have missed an
enrollment period due to an exceptional
circumstance to enroll in Part A and/or
Part B. Individuals complete the form
and submit it to SSA to complete the
enrollment.
The application form provides the
necessary information to determine
eligibility and to process the
beneficiary’s request for enrollment in
premium Part A or Part B due to an
exceptional circumstance. The form is
only used for enrollment by
beneficiaries who could not enroll
during another enrollment period due to
an exceptional circumstance. Form
Number: CMS–10797 (OMB control
number: 0938–1426); Frequency: Once;
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Business or other forprofits, Not-for-profits institutions;
Number of Respondents: 34,612; Total
Annual Responses: 34,612; Total
Annual Hours: 19,901. (For policy
questions regarding this collection

5. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Request for
Enrollment in Supplementary Medical
Insurance (SMI); Use: Section 1836 of
the Social Security Act, and CMS
regulations at 42 CFR 407.10, provide
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the eligibility requirements for
enrollment in Part B for individuals
aged 65 and older who are not entitled
to premium-free Part A. The individual
must be a resident of the United States,
and either a U.S. Citizen or an alien
lawfully admitted for permanent
residence that has lived in the US
continually for 5 years.
Part B is a voluntary program and is
financed from premium payments by
enrollees together with contributions
from funds appropriated by the Federal
government. All individuals age 65 or
older who are entitled to Part A can
enroll in Part B. There are some
individuals, age 65 and over who are
not entitled to or eligible for premiumfree Part A. These individuals may,
however, enroll in Part B only.
The CMS–4040 solicits the
information that is used to determine
entitlement for individuals who meet
the requirements in section 1836 as well
as the entitlement of the applicant or
their spouses to an annuity paid by
OPM for premium deduction purposes.
The application follows the application
questions and requirements used by
SSA. This is done not only for
consistency purposes but to comply
with other title II and title XVIII
requirements because eligibility to title
II benefits and free Part A under title
XVIII must be ruled out in order to
qualify for enrollment in Part B only.
Form Number: CMS–4040 (OMB control
number: 0938–0245); Frequency: Once;
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Business or other forprofits, Not-for-profits institutions;

ACTION:
Request for public comments.
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
Administration for Native Americans
Project Outcome Assessment Survey
(OMB #: 0970–0379, expiration 6/30/
2025). The survey was revised based on
a review by the Administration for
Native Americans (ANA) and feedback
from grantees, which identified some
data elements that could be eliminated
and areas that could be clarified.
SUMMARY:
Comments due December 30,
2024. 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.
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 information
collected by the Project Outcome
Assessment Survey is needed for two
main reasons—(1) to collect crucial
information required to report on ANA’s
established Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) measures and
(2) to properly abide by ANA’s
congressionally mandated statute (42
U.S.C. 2991 et seq.) found within the
Native American Programs Act of 1974,
as amended, which states that ANA will
evaluate projects assisted through ANA
grant dollars ‘‘including evaluations that
describe and measure the impact of
such projects, their effectiveness in
achieving stated goals, their impact on
related programs, and their structure
and mechanisms for delivery of
services.’’ The survey information is
requested once at the end of a project
grant period. The information collected
with this survey will fulfill ANA’s
statutory requirement and will also
serve as an important planning and
performance tool for ANA.
There are minor revisions proposed to
the survey to align with ANA’s current
requirements of grant recipients and
eliminate duplicative data elements.
Respondents: Tribal Governments,
Native American nonprofit
organizations, and Tribal Colleges and
Universities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Uveitis is
caused by inflammation in the eye that
can cause pain and reduce vision. The
rate of uveitis in the United States is 1
in every 200 people with eye-related
irritation. Permanent symptoms such as
vision loss can occur if untreated.
Therefore, early detection is crucial. In
certain uveitis cases, fluorescein
angiography (FA) is essential for the
diagnosis and management due to its
ability to display retinal vascular
leakage (RVL). Although proven to be
critical in diagnosing and assessing
severity, FA is invasive and side effects
have been reported. Additionally, the
procedure is time-consuming and
imposes economic burdens to patients,
physicians and payors. Scientists at the
NEI have developed a deep learning tool
to non-invasively detect RVL using
ultrawide-field color fundus photos.
This algorithm identifies fundus images
with and without RVL with high
accuracy (79%) and sensitivity (85%).
Compared to the current gold standard
of assessing RVL (clinician
interpretation), this deep learning tool
provides an improved method of
detecting RVL for patients with uveitis.
This Notice is in accordance with 35
U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404.
NIH Reference Number: E–005–2023–
0.
Potential Commercial Applications:
• Diagnostic tool to predict uveitis.
• Add-on to current color fundus
imaging modalities.
Competitive Advantages:
• Greater accuracy and sensitivity
versus current gold standard to assess
RVL (clinician assessment).
• Deep learning tool to assess RVL.
• Deep learning to assess ultrawidefield color fundus images and assess
RVL.
