ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is
announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention
to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), federal agencies are required to publish notice in
the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an
existing collection of information, and to allow a second opportunity
for public comment on the notice. Interested persons are invited to
send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the proper performance of the
agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected, and the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection
burden.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by
the OMB desk officer by August 9, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Parham at (410) 786-4669.
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 of currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Identifying
Medicaid Payment for Physician Administered Drugs; Use: States are
required to provide for the collection and submission of utilization
data for certain physician-administered drugs in order to receive
federal financial participation for these drugs. Physicians, serving as
respondents to states, submit National Drug Code numbers and
utilization information for ``J'' code physician-administered drugs so
that the states will have sufficient information to collect drug rebate
dollars. Form Number: CMS-10215 (OMB control number: 0938-1026);
Frequency: Weekly; Affected Public: Business or other for-profits and
Not-
[[Page 36282]]
for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 20,000; Total Annual
Responses: 4,589,433; Total Annual Hours: 351,046. (For policy
questions regarding this collection contact Michael Forman at 410-786-
2666.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Administrative
Requirements for Section 6071 of the Deficit Reduction Act; Use: State
Operational Protocols should provide enough information such that: the
CMS Project Officer and other federal officials may use it to
understand the operation of the demonstration, prepare for potential
site visits without needing additional information, or both; the State
Project Director can use it as the manual for program implementation;
and external stakeholders may use it to understand the operation of the
demonstration. The financial information collection is used in our
financial statements and shared with the auditors who validate CMS'
financial position. The Money Follows the Person Rebalancing
Demonstration (MFP) Finders File, MFP Program Participation Data file,
and MFP Services File are used by the national evaluation contractor to
assess program outcomes while we use the information to monitor program
implementation. The MFP Quality of Life data is used by the national
evaluation contractor to assess program outcomes. The evaluation is
used to determine how participants' quality of life changes after
transitioning to the community. The semi-annual progress report is used
by the national evaluation contractor and CMS to monitor program
implementation at the grantee level. The revisions aim to reduce the
reporting burden by presenting a substantially revised and shorted
version of the semi-annual progress report. The budget workbook has
also been revised to combine two earlier reporting forms. Form Number:
CMS-10249 (OMB control number: 0938-1053); Frequency: Yearly,
quarterly, and semi-annually; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents: 42; Total Annual Responses: 336;
Total Annual Hours: 2,604. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Todd Wilson at 410-786-3409.)
3. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Section 1115
Demonstration Projects Regulations at 42 CFR 431.408, 431.412, 431.420,
431.424, and 431.428; Use: This collection is necessary to ensure that
states comply with regulatory and statutory requirements related to the
development, implementation and evaluation of demonstration projects.
States seeking waiver authority under Section 1115 are required to meet
certain requirements for public notice, the evaluation of demonstration
projects, and reports to the Secretary on the implementation of
approved demonstrations. Form Number: CMS-10341 (OMB control number:
0938-1162); Frequency: Yearly and quarterly; Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 37; Total Annual
Responses: 372; Total Annual Hours: 27,914. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Tonya Moore at 410-786-0019.)
