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 a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Rebate Program State Reporting Forms; Use: Form CMS 368 is a report of
contact for the State to name the individuals involved in the Medicaid
Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) and is required only in those instances
where a change to the originally submitted data is necessary. The
ability to require the reporting of any changes to these data is
necessary to the efficient operation of these programs. Form CMS-R-144
is required from States quarterly to report utilization for any drugs
paid for during that quarter. Form Number: CMS-368 and -R-144 (OMB
control number: 0938-0582); Frequency: Quarterly and on occasion;
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of

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-for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 26,000; Total
