(202)586-1251. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background II. Current Actions III. Request for Comments I. Background The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Pub. L. No. 93-275, 15 U.S.C. 761 *et seq.* ) and the DOE Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95-91, 42 U.S.C. 7101 *et seq.* ) require the EIA to carry out a centralized, comprehensive, and unified energy information program. This program collects, evaluates, assembles, analyzes, and disseminates information on energy resource reserves, production, demand, technology, and related economic and statistical information. This information is used to assess the adequacy of energy resources to meet near and longer term domestic demands. The EIA, as part of its effort to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), provides the general public and other Federal agencies with opportunities to comment on collections of energy information conducted by or in conjunction with the EIA. Any comments received help the EIA to prepare data surveys that maximize the utility of the information collected, and to assess the impact of collection requirements on the public. Also, the EIA will later seek approval by the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)under Section 3507(a) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Specific to the U.S. coal sector, EIA conducts surveys to collect information on coal reserves, coal production, distribution, receipts, consumption, quality, stocks, and prices. This information is used to support public policy analyses of the coal industry and is published in various EIA publications, including the Annual Coal Report, the Annual Energy Review, the Monthly Energy Review, and the Quarterly Coal Report. Respondents to the coal surveys include coal producers, coal distributors, and coal consumers. Please refer to the proposed forms and instructions for more information about the purpose, who must report, when to report, where to submit, the elements to be reported, detailed instructions, provisions for disclosure, and uses (including possible nonstatistical uses) of the information. For instructions on obtaining materials, see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. II. Current Actions EIA proposes to eliminate the EIA-6A survey, which currently collects data on coal distributed by coal producers and distributors/brokers and data on stocks held by distributors/brokers. However, EIA intends to continue providing coal distribution and distributor/broker stock data to the public. Therefore, EIA proposes substituting processes to obtain some of the data currently collected on the EIA-6A survey with other existing EIA surveys and the remaining data from a new proposed EIA survey, form EIA-8A “Coal Stocks Report—Distributors/Brokers.” The EIA-6A data survey—operating under an existing authorization—collects information on coal distributed (by producers and distributors/brokers) to the electric power sector. On the EIA-423, FERC-423 and the EIA-860 survey forms, EIA currently collects data from electric power plants on the amount of coal received, including additional coal data such as State of origin, transport mode and destination State. EIA has compared the data currently collected from producers and distributors/brokers on the EIA-6A with the similar data collected from electric power consumers on the electric surveys and found close agreement. Accordingly, EIA has concluded that a practical and efficient alternative to surveying producers and distributors/brokers is to develop information technology systems that capture and report the relevant coal data being collected from electric consumers. EIA has concluded that this alternative will maintain data quality and significantly reduce the burden on current respondents without causing any change to the burden of the applicable electric power sector consumers. EIA is concurrently proposing to combine data elements from the EIA-423, FERC-423, and EIA-860 forms into a new EIA-923 form. If that proposal is approved, EIA would then take its electric power sector data from the replacement EIA-923 survey for the alternative procedure described above. As a replacement for coal distributor data now collected on the EIA-6A form from coke plants and other industrial plants, EIA proposes to obtain comparable data from the EIA-5 survey of coke plants and the EIA-3 survey of manufacturing plants. Similarly, coal distributor data for the residential and commercial sector currently collected on the EIA-6A survey would be replaced by data collected on the EIA-3 survey by adding commercial and institutional coal users as respondents to the EIA-3 survey. EIA proposes to rename the residential and commercial sector as “commercial and institutional” to more accurately reflect its makeup. By shifting to these alternate data sources, EIA will be able to post quarterly domestic coal distribution tables rather than the annual tables that it posts now. The quarterly data tables will be available approximately 90 days after the close of the latest quarter, which will substantially improve the timeliness of the coal distribution data. EIA proposes to collect annual data on distributor/broker coal stocks (now collected on the EIA-6A survey) on a new annual survey, which will be named form EIA-8A and which will be sent annually to distributors/brokers. The new EIA-8A form will request data on coal stock levels at the beginning of the year, at the end of the year and on inter-year adjustments. Using data reflecting producer coal stocks from the EIA-7A and the new EIA-8A, EIA will be able to continue to provide annual data to the public on the quantity of coal stocks held by producers and distributors/brokers. EIA also proposes to change a current data schedule, S1 on the EIA-3 form, used to collect data from coal synfuel plants. The first modification is to add the transport mode (such as rail, barge, and so on) used to move the coal or derivative coal-based product from the processing plant to the final consumer. A second modification is to add data elements to measure the volume and quality of the coal going into the processing technology and the volume and quality of the product and byproducts produced by the processing technology. With the modified S1 schedule, EIA will be able to report to the public the amount of coal going by transport mode from the coal State of origin to the State where the processing plant is located, and the amount of processed product going from the processing plant by transport mode to the final consumer and the final consumer's destination State. Also, EIA would report to the public the total coal received, consumed, and transformed, coal quality, and volumes and quality for products and byproducts aggregated to the State level for all coal processing operations in a State. EIA proposes to add questions to determine the type of surface mining technology for each of the surface mines that report on the EIA-7A. EIA will use the additional data to report to the public the amount of coal surface-mined by each type of technology. This will make EIA's data on surface-mined coal consistent with its underground-mined data. On the EIA-7A form, EIA proposes to include purchaser's contact name, telephone number and email address when coal is reported as sold to wholesale or retail coal dealers or brokers. EIA will use this information to update the survey frame and respondent contact information for its new EIA-8A survey (see above). On the EIA-5 form, EIA proposes to collect total revenue for the commercial sales of coke and breeze. EIA will use this new data to calculate and report the average value of coke and breeze ($ per short ton) to the public in EIA's Quarterly Coal Report. EIA proposes new disclosure provisions for the EIA-3, EIA-5, EIA-7A surveys and the new EIA-8A survey to make all data, except certain economic data, available to the public. After EIA completes its quality assurance process, the data, except for specific economic data, would be released for public use through EIA's normal web publication system. EIA proposes to release additional specific economic data nine months after the aggregated data are published in EIA reports ( *i.e.* , 2008 1st quarter economic data published in June 2008) will be made available to the public in March 2009; 2008 annual economic data (published in September 2009) will be made available to the public in June 2010. The data with a delayed release include:

(1)Value of coal receipts reported on the EIA-3 and EIA-5 forms,

(2)total revenue from commercial sales of coke and breeze reported on the EIA-5 form, and

(3)recoverable reserves and total revenue from open and captive market sales reported on the EIA-7A form. EIA proposes the addition of a second level of respondent contact information to the EIA-7A form. Currently, only a single set of contact information is collected on the EIA-7A. EIA would use this information to contact firms when the first level respondent is no longer available. This information would help EIA provide data to the public in a timely manner. III. Request for Comments Prospective respondents and other interested parties should comment on the actions discussed in Item II. The following guidelines are provided to assist in the preparation of comments. Please indicate to which form(s) your comments apply. General Issues A. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency and does the information have practical utility? Practical utility is defined as the actual usefulness of information to or for an agency, taking into account its accuracy, adequacy, reliability, timeliness, and the agency's ability to process the information it collects. B. What enhancements can be made to the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? As a Potential Respondent to the Request for Information A. What actions could be taken to help ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of the information to be collected? B. Are the instructions and definitions clear and sufficient? If not, which instructions need clarification? C. Can the information be submitted by the due date? D. Public reporting burden for each of the coal surveys is shown below as an average hour(s) per response. The estimated burden includes the total time necessary to provide the requested information. In your opinion, how accurate is this estimate? —Form EIA-1, “Weekly Coal Monitoring Report—General Industries and Blast Furnaces” (Standby); 1 hour per response (no change from existing estimate of 1 hour) —Form EIA-3, “Quarterly Coal Consumption and Quality Report—Manufacturing Plants;” 1 hour per response, manufacturing plants (no change from existing estimate of 1 hour) 1.5 hours per response, coal processing plants (new schedule for respondent, existing estimate without new schedule is 1 hour) —Form EIA-4, “Weekly Coal Monitoring Report—Coke Plants” (Standby); 1 hour per response (no change from existing estimate of 1 hour) —Form EIA-5, “Quarterly Coal Consumption and Quality Report—Coke Plants;” 1.5 hours per response (no change from existing estimate of 1.5 hours) —Form EIA-6Q, “Quarterly Coal Report” (Standby); 1 hour per response (no change from existing estimate of 1 hour) —Form EIA-7A, “Coal Production Report;” 1 hour per response (no change from existing estimate of 1 hour) —Form EIA-8A, “Coal Stocks Report—Distributors/Brokers;” 0.5 hours per response (new survey) —Form EIA-20, “Weekly Telephone Survey of Coal Burning Utilities” (Standby); 1 hour per response (no change from existing estimate of 1 hour) Forms EIA-1, 4, 6Q, and 20 are Standby surveys. The above estimates reflect the anticipated burden per response in the event these surveys are implemented. E. The agency estimates that the only cost to a respondent is for the time it will take to complete the collection. Will a respondent incur any start-up costs for reporting, or any recurring annual costs for operation, maintenance, and purchase of services associated with the information collection? F. What additional actions could be taken to minimize the burden of this collection of information? Such actions may involve the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. G.

Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct, or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** , or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument, or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plywood and Composite Wood Products (40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD) were proposed on January 9, 2003, promulgated on July 30, 2004, and amended on February 16, 2006. This regulation covers new and existing plywood and composite wood products

(PCWP)facilities. Plywood and/or composite products are manufactured by bonding wood material (fibers, particles, strands, veneers, etc.), or agricultural fiber with resin, generally under heat and pressure, to form a structural panel, or engineered wood product. Plywood and composite products include, but are not limited to, plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented strand board, hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, laminated strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I-joists, kiln-dried lumber and glue-laminated beams. Owners/operators of plywood and composite products facilities are required to submit initial notification, performance tests, and compliance status reports. Respondents also are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Semiannual reports also are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP. Any owner, or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintain reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state, or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be private. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 22 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to, or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Plywood and composite products facilities. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 228. *Frequency of Response:* Initially and semiannually. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 12,732. *Estimated Total Cost for Responses:* $1,651,907, which consists of $428,640 annualized capital/startup costs, $15,682 annual O&M costs, and $1,207,585 in labor costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is an increase of 8,040 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. There is an adjustment increase in total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance test(s) and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for existing source include continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual reports. In addition, there are a small number of new facilities that are in the initial compliance phase described above. The overall result is an increase in burden hours and costs. Dated: July 17, 2007.

Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* EPA's voluntary WasteWise program encourages businesses and other organizations to reduce solid waste through waste prevention, recycling, and the purchase or manufacture of recycled-content products. WasteWise participants include partners, who commit to implementing waste reduction activities of their choice, and endorsers which promote the WasteWise program and waste reduction to their members. The *Partner Registration Form* identifies an organization and its facilities registering to participate in WasteWise, and requires the signature of a senior official that can commit the organization to the program. (This form can be submitted either electronically or in hard copy.) Within six months of registering, each partner is asked to conduct a waste assessment and submit baseline data and waste reduction goals to EPA via the *Annual Assessment Form.* (This form can also be submitted either electronically or in hard copy.) On an annual basis partners are asked to report, via the Annual Assessment Form, on their progress toward achieving their waste reduction goals by estimating amounts of waste prevented and recyclables collected, and describing buying or manufacturing recycled-content products. They can also provide WasteWise with information on total waste prevention revenue, total recycling revenue, total avoided purchasing costs due to waste prevention, and total avoided disposal costs due to recycling and waste prevention. Additionally, they are asked to submit new waste reduction goals. Endorsers, which are typically trade associations or State/local governments, submit the *Endorser Registration Form* once during their endorser relationship with WasteWise. (This form can be submitted either electronically or in hard copy.) The Endorser Registration Form identifies the organization, the principal contact, and the activities to which the Endorser commits. EPA's WasteWise program uses the submitted information to

(1)identify and recognize outstanding waste reduction achievements by individual organizations,

(2)compile aggregate results that indicate overall accomplishments of WasteWise partners,

(3)identify cost-effective waste reduction strategies to share with other organizations, and

(4)identify topics on which to develop assistance and information efforts. *Burden Statement:* The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to average 1 hour per response for the Partner Registration Form, 40 hours per response for the Annual Assessment Form, and 10 hours per response for the Endorser Registration Form. The estimated number of respondents is 1,775 in Year 1; 1,875 in Year 2; and 1,975 in Year 3. Estimated total annual burden on all respondents is 66,350 hours in Year 1; 70,350 hours in Year 2; and 74,350 hours in Year 3. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Private Sector; State, Local, or Tribal Governments; and the Federal Government. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 1,875. *Frequency of Response:* Once per year. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 70,350. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* Includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs, and $4,245,450 annual labor costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is an increase of 13,650 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to an adjustment stemming from the increased number of partners. Dated: July 18, 2007. Sara Hisel-McCoy, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice of adequacy. SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that we have found that the Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets (MVEBs) in Kentucky's bi-state Louisville 8-Hour Ozone Maintenance State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted on September 29, 2006, by the Kentucky Division of Air Quality (KDAQ), are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. As a result of EPA's finding, the bi-state Louisville area must use the MVEBs from the September 29, 2006, bi-state Louisville 8-Hour Ozone Maintenance SIP for future conformity determinations for the 8-hour ozone standard. In a separate rulemaking, EPA has already approved these MVEBs. These MVEBs are identical to the MVEBs established for this area in the Indiana SIP. DATES: These MVEBs were effective the date of publication (July 5, 2007) for the final rulemaking. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynorae Benjamin, Environmental Engineer, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Air Planning Branch, Air Quality Modeling and Transportation Section, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Ms. Benjamin can also be reached by telephone at

(404)562-9040, or via electronic mail at *benjamin.lynorae@epa.gov.* The finding is available at EPA's conformity Web site: *http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background This notice is simply an announcement of a finding that EPA has already made. EPA Region 4 sent a letter to KDAQ on June 18, 2007, stating that the MVEBs in Kentucky's SIP, submitted on September 29, 2006, are adequate. The bi-state Louisville 8-hour ozone nonattainment area is comprised of the following five counties: Bullitt, Oldham and Jefferson counties in Kentucky and Clark and Floyd counties in Indiana. EPA's adequacy comment period for Kentucky's SIP ran from April 27, 2007, through May 29, 2007. During EPA's adequacy comment period no comments regarding the adequacy of the MVEBs were received. This finding has also been announced on EPA's conformity Web site: *http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/pastsips.htm.* The adequate MVEBs are provided in the following table: Bi-State Louisville 8-Hour Ozone MVEBs [Tons per day] 2003 2020 VOC 40.97 22.92 NO <sup>X</sup> 95.51 29.46 EPA has already approved these MVEBs in a separate rulemaking (72 FR 36601, July 5, 2007), and is providing this notice for informational purposes. Transportation conformity is required by section 176

(c)of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990. EPA's conformity rule requires that transportation plans, programs and projects conform to state air quality implementation plans and establishes the criteria and procedures for determining whether or not they do. Conformity to a SIP means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards. The criteria by which EPA determines whether a SIP's MVEBs are adequate for transportation conformity purposes are outlined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations 93.118(e)(4). We have described the process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, final rulemaking entitled, “ Transportation Conformity Rule Amendments for the New 8-hour Ozone and PM <sup>2.5</sup> National Ambient Air Quality Standards and Miscellaneous Revisions for Existing Areas; Transportation Conformity Rule Amendments: Response to Court Decision and Additional Rule Changes” (69 FR 40004). Please note that an adequacy review is separate from EPA's completeness review, and it also should not be used to prejudge EPA's ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if EPA finds the MVEBs adequate, the Agency may later determine that the SIP itself is not approvable. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Dated: June 25, 2007. Russell L.

Proposed Project Ingredients Added to, and the Quantity of Nicotine Contained in, Smokeless Tobacco Manufactured, Imported, or Packaged in the U.S.—Reinstatement with Change—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (15 U.S.C. 4401 *et seq.* , Pub. L. 99-252) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or imports smokeless tobacco

(SLT)to provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services

(HHS)with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of smokeless tobacco products. This legislation also authorizes HHS to undertake research, and submit an annual report to Congress (as deemed appropriate) discussing the health effects of the ingredients in smokeless tobacco products. HHS has delegated responsibility for the implementation of this Act to CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). The oral use of SLT represents a significant health risk which can cause cancer and a number of non-cancerous oral conditions, and can lead to nicotine addiction and dependence. Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe substitute for cigarette smoking. Estimated burden for testing and reporting of un-ionized nicotine, total moisture, and pH for smokeless tobacco is one response per year, averaging 1,713 hours to prepare, at a cost of $1,139 per respondent, for 11 companies. The total hourly burden would be 18,843 hours, with a total cost of $12,529. The only cost to respondents is their time to complete the survey.

(NPCR)is a nationwide, comprehensive federally sponsored public health program. Established by Congress through the Cancer Registries Amendment Act in 1992, and administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the NPCR collects data on the occurrence of cancer; the type, extent, and location of the cancer; and the type of initial treatment. Since the establishment of NPCR there has been no published systematic analysis of the true economic costs incurred by the program. As the program matures and gains national attention, and in light of the recent increases in total program funding as well as wide variations in the cost per case collected, there is now a greater need for an economic evaluation of the program. The purpose of this task is to assess the costs, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of NPCR in collecting high quality data on cancer incidence, and to develop tools for making resource allocation decisions that will meet program priorities. Performing an assessment of the resources expended on NPCR in relation to the value created will provide critical information for improving program efficiency within the various components of the NPCR and potentially identifying economies of scale. This task will involve collection and analysis of cost and effectiveness data from all 45 state registries, funded by NPCR, for three years. A pilot questionnaire was developed and piloted tested with 7 registries and information learn during the pilot testing was incorporated to develop a comprehensive cost collection tool. RTI International, the contractor hired by CDC will build a web based data collection tool to collect annual cost data from the 45 state registries. All data will be submitted electronically by grantees to reduce the respondent burden and errors. The contractor will also develop a user's manual to assist the grantees with completing their data submission. Since certain program level data are already collected as part of NPCR Annual Program Evaluation Instrument (OMB i#0920-0706), the additional burden on grantees will be modest. Once the infrastructure is established to capture the cost data from the NPCR programs, the response burden is expected to be reduced even further. There are no costs to respondents except for their time to complete the questionnaire. All respondents will be using the same cost assessment tool. The only cost to the respondent is their time.

Proposed Project Transgender HIV Behavioral Survey (THBS)—New—National Center for HIV, Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The purpose of this data collection is to pilot a survey that will be used to monitor behaviors related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus

(HIV)infection among transgender persons who are assigned a male sex at birth. The goal of the survey will be to obtain data from samples of transgender persons to

(a)describe the prevalence in risk behaviors;

(b)describe the prevalence of HIV testing and HIV infection;

(c)describe the prevalence of the use of HIV prevention services;

(d)identify met and unmet needs for HIV prevention services in order to inform health departments, community based organizations, community planning groups and other stakeholders. The objectives of the pilot will be to assess the content of the questionnaire as well as the efficiency and feasibility of the methods for sampling and recruiting transgender persons. This project addresses the goals of CDC's HIV Prevention Strategic Plan, specifically the goal of strengthening the national capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic to better direct and evaluate prevention efforts. Data will be collected through in-person and computer-assisted self interviews conducted in 4 Metropolitan Statistical Areas

(MSA)throughout the United States. The MSA chosen will be among those currently participating in the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system (see Federal Registry dated January 19, 2007: Vol. 72, No. 12, pages 2529-2530). A brief in-person screening interview will be used to determine eligibility for participation in the full survey. Data for the full survey will be collected using computer-assisted self interviews. Besides determining the content of the final survey instrument and the sampling methods, the data from the full survey will provide estimates of behavior related to the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, prior testing for HIV, and use of HIV prevention services. No other federal agency systematically collects this type of information from transgender persons at risk for HIV infection. This data will have substantial impact on prevention program development and monitoring at the local, state, and national levels. CDC will request a 2-year clearance for this information collection. CDC estimates that, in each year, THBS will involve eligibility screening of a total of 240 persons and will collect survey information from 200 eligible respondents. Thus, over the two year period 480 persons are estimated to complete the screener and 400 eligible respondents to complete the survey. Participation of respondents is voluntary and there is no cost to the respondents other than their time.

In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Health and Human Services, is publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects:

(1)The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the Agency's function;

(2)the accuracy of the estimated burden;

(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. 1. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension without change of a currently approved collection; *Title of Information Collection:* Transmittal and Notice of Approval of State Plan Material and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 430.10-430.20 and 440.167; *Use:* The CMS-179 is used by State agencies to transmit State plan material to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

(CMS)for approval prior to amending their State plan. The State plan is the method in which States inform staff of State policies, standards, procedures and instructions. The CMS-179 is currently used by State agencies administering the Medicaid program and CMS regional offices (RO). State agencies use the form to submit State plan amendments

(SPAs)(including supporting documentation) to the CMS RO for review and approval prior to amending their plan in accordance with 42 CFR 430.10-430.20. The CMS-179 includes instructions for completing the form. The inclusion of instructions is to assist State agencies in completing the form, thereby ensuring a more uniform and timely plan amendment approval process. The CMS-179 is the only source available to State agencies for submittal/approval of SPAs. This plan amendment approval process is necessary to ensure the State plan continues to meet statutory and regulatory requirements and thereby ensure the State's eligibility for Federal financial participation. CMS will use this information to track the estimated Federal budget impact associated with the SPAs. This information may result in more accurate Federal Medicaid expenditure estimates; *Form Number:* CMS-179 (OMB#: 0938-0193); *Frequency:* Reporting: Occasionally; *Affected Public:* State, Local or Tribal Government; *Number of Respondents:* 56; *Total Annual Responses:* 10; *Total Annual Hours:* 560. 2. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension without change of a currently approved collection; *Title of Information Collection:* Imposition of Cost Sharing Charges Under Medicare and Supporting Regulations Contained in 42 CFR Section 447.53; *Use:* The purpose of this collection is to ensure that States impose nominal cost sharing charges upon categorically and medically needy individuals as allowed by law and implementing regulations. States must identify in their State plan the following:

(1)The service for which the charge is made;

(2)The amount of the charge;

(3)The basis for determining the charge;

(4)The method used to collect the charge;

(5)The basis for determining whether an individual is unable to pay the charge and the way in which the individual will be identified to providers; and,

(6)The procedures for implementing and enforcing the exclusions from cost sharing; *Form Number:* CMS-R-0053 (OMB#: 0938-0429); *Frequency:* Reporting: Occasionally; *Affected Public:* State, Local or Tribal Government; *Number of Respondents:* 56; *Total Annual Responses:* 2; Total Annual Hours: 20. 3. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection; *Title of Information Collection:* Physician Self-Referral Exceptions for Electronic Prescribing and Electronic Health Records (CMS-1303-F); *Form Number:* CMS-10207 (OMB#: 0938-1009); *Use:* Section 101 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003

(MMA)directs the Secretary to create an exception to the physician self-referral prohibition in section 1877 of the Act for certain arrangements in which a physician receives compensation in the form of items, services (nonmonetary remuneration not including cash or cash equivalents) that is necessary and used solely to receive and transmit electronic prescription information. In addition, using our separate legal authority under section 1877(b)(4) of the Act, the regulation CMS-1303-F (71 FR 45140) created a separate regulatory exception for certain arrangements involving the provision of nonmonetary remuneration in the form of electronic health records software or information technology and training services necessary and used predominantly to create, maintain, transmit, or receive electronic health records. These exceptions are consistent with the President's goal of achieving widespread adoption of interoperable electronic health records to improve the quality and efficiency of health care while maintaining the levels of security and privacy that consumers expect. The conditions for both exceptions require that arrangements for the items and services provided must be set forth in a written agreement, be signed by the parties involved, specify the items or services being provided and the cost of those items or services, and cover all of the electronic prescribing and/or electronic health records technology to be provided by the donating entity. We have suggested that, instead of one master agreement that is updated with each new donation, the parties may choose to create a specific new contract and then reference other agreements or cross-reference a master list of agreements. The requirements associated with the exception for electronic prescribing items and services are limited to donations made by hospitals to members of their medical staffs; by group practices to their physician members; and by PDP sponsors and MA organizations to prescribing physicians. The requirements associated with the exception for electronic health records software or information technology and training services include donations by entities furnishing DHS to physicians. The paperwork burden is the creation and execution of the written agreements. The burden associated with the written agreement requirement is the time and effort necessary for documentation of the agreement between the parties, including the signatures of the parties. *Frequency:* Recordkeeping and Reporting—On occasion; *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit and Not-for-profit institutions; *Number of Respondents:* 27,440; *Total Annual Responses:* 54,730; *Total Annual Hours:* 17,545. 4. *Type of Information Collection Request:* New collection; *Title of Information Collection:* Regional Preferred Provider Organization

(RPPO)Reconciliation Cost Report; *Form Number:* CMS-10233 (OMB#: 0938-New); *Use:* The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), Title II, Subtitle C (Offering of Medicare Advantage Regional Plans; Medicare Advantage Competition) provided for the establishment of Medicare Advantage Regional Plans. Subsequently, the Regional Preferred Provider Organization

(RPPO)program was developed and began contracting with Managed Care Organizations

(MCOs)and enrolling beneficiaries for the 2006 contract year. Section 1858 of the Social Security Act provides for risk sharing with RPPOs to be in place for contract years 2006 and 2007. The Code of Federal Regulations at 42 CFR 422.458 provides specific direction with respect to how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

(CMS)will share risk with the RPPOs. The regulations require CMS to collect Allowable Cost data, and to compare this data to Target Amounts. If the comparison demonstrates that there were either savings or losses in the contract year, the regulations provide specific risk corridors to be used in determining the Risk Sharing Reconciliation amount due to either the plan or CMS. The Risk Sharing Reconciliation cost report will be used to collect the information necessary to accurately reconcile the payments made to RPPOs for the 2006 and 2007 contract years. *Frequency:* Reporting—Annually; *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit and Not-for-profit institutions; *Number of Respondents:* 14; *Total Annual Responses:* 14; *Total Annual Hours:* 1,120. 5. *Type of Information Collection Request:* New collection; *Title of Information Collection:* State Plan Pre-print implementing Section 6087 of the Deficit Reduction Act: Optional Self-Direction Personal Assistance Services

(PAS)Program (Cash and Counseling); *Form Number:* CMS-10234 (OMB#: 0938-New); *Use:* Information submitted via the State Plan Amendment

(SPA)pre-print will be used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

(CMS)Central and Regional Offices to analyze a State's proposal to implement Section 6087 of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA). State Medicaid Agencies will complete the SPA pre-print, and submit it to CMS for a comprehensive analysis. The pre-print contains assurances, check-off items, and areas for States to describe policies and procedures for subjects such as quality assurance, risk management, and voluntary and involuntary disenrollment; *Frequency:* Reporting—Once; *Affected Public:* State, Local, or Tribal Government; *Number of Respondents:* 56; *Total Annual Responses:* 30; *Total Annual Hours:* 600.
