materials (see ADDRESSES).
CMS-10110 Manufacturer Submission of Average Sales Price (ASP) Data for

Under the 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 requires federal agencies
to publish a 60-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.

approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Manufacturer
Submission of Average Sales Price (ASP) Data for Medicare Part B Drugs
and Biologicals; Use: Section 401 of Division CC of Title IV of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021 amended section 1847A of
the Social Security Act (the Act) to add new section 1847A(f)(2) of the
Act, which requires manufacturers without a Medicaid drug rebate
agreement to report average sales price (ASP) information to CMS for
calendar quarters beginning on January 1, 2022, for drugs or
biologicals payable under Medicare Part B and described in sections
1842(o)(1)(C), (E), or (G) or 1881(b)(14)(B) of the Act, including
items, services, supplies, and products that are payable under Part B
as a drug or biological. The reported ASP data are used to establish

sector, Business or other for-profit; Number of Respondents: 500; Total
Annual Responses: 2,000; Total Annual Hours: 26,000. (For policy

2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: CAHPS Hospice
Survey; Use: CMS is required to collect and publicly report information
on the quality of services provided by hospices under provisions in the
Social Security Act. Specifically, sections 1814(i)(5)(A) through (C)
of the Act, as added by section 3132(a) of the Patient Protection and

begin submitting quality data, based on measures specified by the
Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the
Secretary) for FY 2014 and subsequent FYs.
The goal of the survey is to measure the experiences of patients
and their caregivers with hospice care. The survey was developed to:
<bullet> Provide a source of information from which selected
measures could be publicly reported to beneficiaries and their family
members as a decision aid for selection of a hospice program;
<bullet> Aid hospices with their internal quality improvement
efforts and external benchmarking with other facilities;
<bullet> Provide CMS with information for monitoring the care
provided.
