EIPs are designed to: (1) Address issues
that the EIP network is particularly
suited to investigate; (2) maintain
sufficient flexibility for emergency
response and new problems as they
arise; (3) develop and evaluate public
health interventions to inform public
health policy and treatment guidelines;
(4) incorporate training as a key
function; and (5) prioritize projects that
lead directly to the prevention of
disease. Proposed respondents will
include state health departments who
may collaborate with one or more of the
following: academic institutions, local
health departments, public health and
clinical laboratories, infection control
professionals, and healthcare providers.
Frequency of reporting will be
determined as cases arise. The total
estimated burden is 12,153 hours. There
is no cost to respondents other than
their time.

Background and Brief Description
CDC offers public health training
activities to professionals worldwide.
Employees of hospitals, universities,
medical centers, laboratories, State and
Federal agencies, and State and local
health departments apply for training to
learn up-to-date public health practices.
CDC’s training activities include
laboratory training, classroom study,
online training, and distance learning.
CDC uses two training application
forms, the Training and Continuing
Education Online New Participant
Registration Form and the National
Laboratory Training Network
Registration Form, to collect
information necessary to manage and
conduct training pertinent to the
agency’s mission.
CDC requests OMB approval to
continue to collect information through
E:\FR\FM\04DEN1.SGM
04DEN1
71801
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 233 / Tuesday, December 4, 2012 / Notices
these forms to (1) grant public health
professionals the continuing education
(CE) they need to maintain professional
licenses and certifications, (2) create a
transcript or summary of training at the
participant’s request, (3) generate
management reports, and (4) maintain
training statistics; and a revision that
will allow CDC to comply with new
continuing education accreditation
organization requirements for collection
of additional profession-specific data.
CDC is accredited by six different
continuing education (CE) organizations
to award CE: (1) The International
Association for Continuing Education
and Training (IACET) to provide
Continuing Education Units (CEUs), (2)
the Accreditation Council for
Continuing Medical Education
(ACCME) to provide Continuing
Medical Education credits (CME), (3)
the American Nurses Credentialing
Center (ANNC) to provide Continuing
course. CDC uses the email address to
verify the participant’s electronic
request for transcripts, verify course
certificates, and send confirmation that
a participant is registered for a course.
Tracking course attendance and
meeting accrediting organizations’
standards for reporting, require uniform
standardized training application forms.
The standardized data these forms
request for laboratory training,
classroom study, online training, and
distance learning are not requested
elsewhere. In other words, these forms
do not duplicate requests for
information from participants. Data are
collected only once per course or once
per new registration. The annual burden
table has been updated to reflect an
increase in distance learning to 6,792
burden hours; that is an average burden
of 5 minutes per respondent. There is no
cost to respondents other than their
time.
Nurse Education credits (CNE), (4) the
National Commission for Health
Education Credentialing (NCHEC) to
award CHES credit, (5) the
Accreditation Council for Pharmacy
Education (ACPE) to provide continuing
pharmacy credit, and (6) the American
Association of Veterinary State Boards
to award Registry of Approved
Continuing Education (RACE) credit.
The accrediting organizations require a
method of tracking participants who
complete an educational activity and
demographic data allows CDC to do so.
Also, several of the organizations
require a permanent record that
includes the participant’s name,
address, and phone number, to facilitate
retrieval of historical information about
when a participant completed a course
or several courses during a time period.
This information provides the basis for
a transcript or for determining whether
a person is enrolled in more than one

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 functions;
(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:
Revision of a currently approved
collection; Title of Information
Collection: Annual MLR and Rebate
Calculation Report and MLR Rebate
Notices; Use: Under Section 2718 of the
Affordable Care Act and implementing
regulation at 45 CFR part 158, a health
insurance issuer (issuer) offering group
or individual health insurance coverage
must submit a report to the Secretary
concerning the amount the issuer
spends each year on claims, quality

improvement expenses, non-claims
costs, federal and state taxes and
licensing and regulatory fees, and the
amount of earned premium. An issuer
must provide an annual rebate if the
amount it spends on certain costs
compared to its premium revenue
(excluding federal and states taxes and
licensing and regulatory fees) does not
meet a certain ratio, referred to as the
medical loss ratio (MLR). An interim
final rule (IFR) implementing the MLR
was published on December 1, 2010 (75
FR 74865) and modified by technical
corrections on December 30, 2010 (75
FR 82277), which added part 158 to
Title 45 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. The IFR was effective
January 1, 2011. A final rule regarding
selected provisions of the IFR was
published on December 7, 2011 (76 FR
76574, CMS–9998–FC) and an interim
final rule regarding an issue not
included in issuers’ reporting
obligations (disbursement of rebates by
non-federal governmental plans) was
also published December 7, 2011 (76 FR
76596, CMS–9998–IFC2) Both rules
