SUMMARY: CMS proposes to delete 10 systems of records from its

Affairs, and the Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on 11/30/2006. To ensure
that all parties have adequate time in which to comment, the deletions
will become effective 30 days from the publication of the notice, or 40
days from the date it was submitted to OMB and Congress, whichever is
later, unless CMS receives comments that require alterations to this
notice.
