CMS-10302 Collection Requirements for Compendia for Determination of
Medically-accepted Indications for Off-label Uses of Drugs and
Biologicals in an Anti-cancer Chemotherapeutic Regimen
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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Collection
Requirements for Compendia for Determination of Medically-accepted
Indications for Off-label Uses of Drugs and Biologicals in an Anti-
cancer Chemotherapeutic Regimen; Use: Section 182(b) of the Medicare
Improvement of Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) amended section
1861(t)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395x(t)(2)(B)) by
adding at the end the following new sentence: `On and after January 1,
2010, no compendia may be included on the list of compendia under this
subparagraph unless the compendia has a publicly transparent process
for evaluating therapies and for identifying potential conflicts of
interest.' We believe that the implementation of this statutory
provision that compendia have a ``publicly transparent process for
evaluating therapies and for identifying potential conflicts of
interests'' is best accomplished by amending 42 CFR 414.930 to include
the MIPPA requirements and by defining the key components of publicly
transparent processes for evaluating therapies and for identifying
potential conflicts of interests.
All currently listed compendia will be required to comply with
these provisions, as of January 1, 2010, to remain on the list of
recognized compendia. In addition, any compendium that is the subject
of a future request for inclusion on the list of recognized compendia
will be required to comply with these provisions. No compendium can be
on the list if it does not fully meet the standard described in section
1861(t)(2)(B) of the Act, as revised by section 182(b) of the MIPPA.
Form Number: CMS-10302 (OMB control number: 0938-1078); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Business and other for-profits and Not-for-
profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 845; Total Annual
