Services (HHS).
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 October 31, 2022.
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

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: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title: Data Request and Attestation for PDP
Sponsors; Use: Section 50354 of the BBA requires that the Secretary
establish a process for PDP sponsors to submit a request for
standardized extracts of claims data for their enrollees. In addition,
Section 50354 of the BBA provides for a number of purposes and
limitation for the use of the claims data and also permits the
Secretary to establish other limitations necessary to protect the
identity of individuals entitled to or enrolled in Medicare, and to
protect the security of personal health information.
This information collection request allows a PDP sponsor to submit
a request to CMS for claims data for its enrollees and to attest that
it will adhere to the permitted uses and limitations on the use of the
Medicare claims data that
[[Page 59099]]
are listed in 42 CFR 423.153(g)(3) and After requesting claims data for
its enrollees and attesting to the permitted uses and limitations of
Medicare claims data, PDP sponsors are required to complete some basic
on-boarding activities before gaining access to Medicare claims data
using the Part A and B Claims Data to Part D Sponsors (AB2D) API. Form
Number: CMS-10691 (OMB Control Number: 0938-1371); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Private Sector, Business or other for-profit and not-
for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 210; Number of
Responses: 210; Total Annual Hours: 39. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Gaare, Kari A. at 410-786-8612.)
