Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement of section 3506I(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: Revision of a currently
approval collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Program Monthly and Quarterly Drug Reporting Format; Use: In order for
payment to be made under Medicaid, the drug labeler must complete and
sign a drug rebate agreement and fill in the information on the related
documents. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 added
two new data elements to potentially be reported by manufacturers. In
addition, the Food and Drug Administration has informed us that
``DESI'' is now obsolete; therefore, we are replacing it with a more
appropriate ``rebate eligibility code'' that will more accurately
describe how a product is eligible for coverage under the drug rebate
program. Form Number: CMS-367 (OMB: 0938-0578); Frequency:
Monthly and Quarterly; Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or
other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 580; Total Annual Responses:
9,280; Total Annual Hours: 137,344 (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Gail Sexton at 410-786-4583. For all other issues
