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
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 of
Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Use Review (DUR) Program; Use: States
must provide for a review of drug
therapy before each prescription is filled
or delivered to a Medicaid patient. This
review includes screening for potential
drug therapy problems due to
therapeutic duplication, drug-disease
contraindications, drug-drug
interactions, incorrect drug dosage or
duration of drug treatment, drug-allergy
interactions, and clinical abuse/misuse.
Pharmacists must make a reasonable
effort to obtain, record, and maintain
Medicaid patient profiles. These profiles
must reflect at least the patient’s name,
address, telephone number, date of
birth/age, gender, history, e.g., allergies,
drug reactions, list of medications, and
pharmacist’s comments relevant to the
individual’s drug therapy.
The State must conduct RetroDUR
which provides for the ongoing periodic
examination of claims data and other
records in order to identify patterns of
fraud, abuse, inappropriate or medically
unnecessary care. Patterns or trends of
drug therapy problems are identified
and reviewed to determine the need for
intervention activity with pharmacists
and/or physicians. States may conduct
interventions via telephone,
correspondence, or face-to-face contact.
Annual reports are submitted to CMS
for the purposes of monitoring
compliance and evaluating the progress
of States’ DUR programs. The
information submitted by States is

21553
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 12, 2016 / Notices
reviewed and results are compiled by
CMS in a format intended to provide
information, comparisons and trends
related to States’ experiences with DUR.
The States benefit from the information
and may enhance their programs each
year based on State reported innovative
practices that are compiled by CMS
from the DUR annual reports. Form
Number: CMS–R–153 (OMB control
number: 0938–0659); Frequency: Yearly,
quarterly, and occasionally; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
51; Total Annual Responses: 510; Total
Annual Hours: 20,808. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
contact Renee Hilliard at 410–786–
2991.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection. Title of
Information Collection: Medicaid
Statistical Information System (MSIS)
and Transformed—Medicaid Statistical
Information System (T–MSIS); Use: The
data reported in MSIS/T–MSIS are used
by federal, state, and local officials, as
well as by private researchers and
corporations to monitor past and
projected future trends in the Medicaid
program. These data provide the only
national level information available on
enrollees, beneficiaries, and
expenditures. They also provide the
only national level information
available on Medicaid utilization. This
information is the basis for analyses and
for cost savings estimates for the
Department’s cost sharing legislative
initiatives to Congress. The collected
data are also crucial to our actuarial
forecasts. Form Number: CMS–R–284
(OMB control number: 0938–0345);
Frequency: Quarterly and monthly;
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
51; Total Annual Responses: 804; Total
Annual Hours: 8,040. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
contact Camiel Rowe at 410–786–0069.)

Title: Child Care and Development
Fund Financial Report (ACF 696) for
States and Territories.
OMB No.: 0970–0163.
Description: States and Territories use
the Financial Report Form ACF–696 to
report Child Care and Development
Fund (CCDF) expenditures. Authority to
collect and report this information is
found in section 658G of the Child Care
and Development Block Grant Act of
1990, as revised. In addition to the
Program Reporting Requirements set
forth in 45 CFR part 98, subpart H, the
regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) and
98.67(c)(1) authorize the Secretary to
require financial reports as necessary.
The form provides specific data
regarding claims and provides a
mechanism for States to request Child
Care grant awards and to certify the
availability of State matching funds.
Failure to collect this data would
seriously compromise ACF’s ability to
monitor Child Care and Development
Fund expenditures. This information is
also used to estimate outlays and may
be used to prepare ACF budget
submissions to Congress.
ACF has not made substantive
revisions to the reporting form itself, but
has revised the accompanying
instructions to provide more detailed
guidance to assist grantees with
completing the form.
Respondents: States and Territories.
