CMS–R–267 Medicare Advantage
Program and Supporting Regulations
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: Reinstatement with change of a
previously approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Advantage Program and Supporting
Regulations; Use: Regulations under 42
CFR part 422 pertain to MA
organizations, applicants to Medicare
Advantage (MA) organizations (MAOs),
and CMS. MAOs and potential MA
organizations (applicants) use the
information to comply with application
requirements and MA contract
requirements. CMS uses the information
to approve contract applications,
monitor compliance with contract
requirements, make proper payment to
MA organizations, determine
compliance with the new prescription
drug benefit requirements established
by the MMA, and to ensure that correct
information is disclosed to Medicare
beneficiaries, both potential enrollees
and enrollees.
This information collection request
had been associated with a November
28, 2017 (82 FR 56336) proposed rule
entitled, ‘‘Contract Year 2019 Policy and
Technical Changes to the Medicare
Advantage, Medicare Cost Plan,
Medicare Fee-for-Service, the Medicare
Prescription Drug Benefit Programs, and
the PACE Program.’’ CMS had
withdrawn that information collection
request as the rule inadvertently
excluded language specifying that we
were proposing to reinstate the
information collection. The purpose of
this information collection request is to
reinstate the collection through the
regular, that is non-rulemaking, PRA
process. In addition to seeking approval
