SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term "collection of information" is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension without change of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: State Collection and Reporting of Dental Provider and Benefit Package Information on the Insure Kids Now! Website and Hotline; Use: On the Insure Kids Now (IKN) website, the Secretary is required to post a current and accurate list of dentists and providers that provide dental services to children enrolled in the state plan (or waiver) under Medicaid or the state child health plan (or waiver) under CHIP. States collect the information pertaining to their Medicaid and CHIP dental benefits. Form Number: CMS-10291 (OMB control number: 0938-1065); Frequency: Yearly and quarterly; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 51; Total Annual Responses: 255; Total Annual Hours: 11,781. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Andrew Snyder at 410-786-1274.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension without change of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Quarterly Medicaid and CHIP Budget and Expenditure Reporting for the Medical Assistance Program, Administration and CHIP; Use: The Medicaid and CHIP Financial System is a financial reporting system that produces budget estimate statements for Forms CMS-37 and CMS-21B. The Medicaid and CHIP Budget and Expenditure System is a financial reporting system that produces expenditure statements for Forms CMS-64 and CMS-21. All forms are to be filed on a quarterly basis and need to be certified by the states. Form Number: CMS-10529 (OMB control number: 0938-1265); Frequency: Quarterly; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 56; Total Annual Responses: 672; Total Annual Hours: 18,144. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Robert Lane at 410-786-2015.)
3. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Annual State Report on CMS Value Based Purchasing Arrangements (VBP) Supplemental Rebate Agreements; Use: The reported data is being collected to safeguard against unnecessary utilization of such care and services and to assure that state payments to providers of Medicaid services are consistent with efficiency, economy, and quality of care. CMS will collect this data to ensure that VBP programs adopted by states continue to meet these standards. Form Number: CMS-10722 (OMB control number: 0938-1385); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 51; Total Annual Responses: 51; Total Annual Hours: 306.

5. Title of Information Collection: Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency for Qualified Health Plans; Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Use: Implementation of section 1150A of the Social Security Act, as added by section 6005 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), requires, among other entities, Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that serve QHP issuers to report information on prescription drug benefits to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). PBMs are third-party administrators of prescription programs for a variety of types of health plans, including QHPs. CMS finalized regulations for this reporting at 45 CFR 156.295 and 184.50.
Under these requirements a QHP issuer is required to report issuer and plan level prescription drug data to CMS only when the QHP issuer does not contract with a PBM to administer the prescription drug benefit for their QHPs. Section 1150A(a)(1) of the Social Security Act authorizes CMS to collect the same prescription drug and rebate information from Prescription Drug Plan sponsors of a prescription drug plan and Medicare Advantage organizations offering a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan under part D of title XVIII. Since 2012, CMS has collected these data from Part D sponsors as part of the Medicare Part D Direct and Indirect Remuneration (DIR) reporting requirement, and detailed drug information for each National Drug Code (NDC) from the Prescription Drug Event (PDE) data that plans are required to submit.
CMS is formally requesting an extension of this ICR in connection with submission from QHP issuers that do not contract with a PBM and PBMs (hereinafter referred to as "submitters"). The information required from submitters and the process of submission has changed since the previous OMB approval. The submitters are now required to complete a web form that reports the allocation methodology that is selected by the submitters to allocate data, where necessary. Submitters are required to maintain internal documentation of the allocation methodologies chosen, as CMS may need to follow up with the submitters to better understand the methodology. The associated burden estimates for this collection reflect the time and effort for submitters to provide prescription drug benefit information to CMS using the Health Information Oversight System (HIOS) module. Form Number: CMS-10725 (OMB control number: 0938-1394); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector, Business or other For-Profits; Number of Respondents: 278; Number of Responses: 278; Total Annual Hours: 1,285. (For questions regarding this collection, contact LeAnn Brodhead at (301) 492-4493.)
