SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services policy stipulates that
committee membership be balanced in
terms of points of view represented, and
the committee’s function. Appointments
shall be made without discrimination
on the basis of age, race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic
status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens,
and cannot be full-time employees of
the U.S. Government. Current
participation on federal workgroups or
prior experience serving on a federal
advisory committee does not disqualify
a candidate; however, HHS policy is to
avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple
committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government
Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the
beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates
for ICSH membership each year, and
provides a slate of nominees for
consideration to the Secretary of HHS
for final selection. HHS notifies selected
candidates of their appointment near
the start of the term in July 2020, or as
soon as the HHS selection process is
completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to
year and a candidate who is not selected
in one year may be reconsidered in a
subsequent year.
Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and
cannot be full-time employees of the

(Candidates may submit letter(s) from
current HHS employees if they wish,
but at least one letter must be submitted
by a person not employed by an HHS
agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.).
Nominations may be submitted by the
candidate him- or herself, or by the
person/organization recommending the
candidate.

Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision with change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Contract Year
2021 Plan Benefit Package (PBP)
Software and Formulary Submission;
Use: Under the Medicare Modernization
Act (MMA), Medicare Advantage (MA)
and Prescription Drug Plan (PDP)
organizations are required to submit
plan benefit packages for all Medicare
beneficiaries residing in their service
area. The plan benefit package
submission consists of the Plan Benefit
Package (PBP) software, formulary file,
and supporting documentation, as
necessary. MA and PDP organizations
use the PBP software to describe their
organization’s plan benefit packages,
including information on premiums,
cost sharing, authorization rules, and
supplemental benefits. They also
generate a formulary to describe their
list of drugs, including information on
prior authorization, step therapy,
tiering, and quantity limits.
CMS requires that MA and PDP
organizations submit a completed PBP
and formulary as part of the annual
bidding process. During this process,
organizations prepare their proposed
plan benefit packages for the upcoming
contract year and submit them to CMS
for review and approval. CMS uses this
data to review and approve the benefit
packages that the plans will offer to
Medicare beneficiaries. This allows
CMS to review the benefit packages in
a consistent way across all submitted
bids during with incredibly tight
timeframes. This data is also used to

Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:

Information Collection: Administrative
Simplification HIPAA Compliance
Review; Use: The authority for
administering and enforcing compliance
with the Administrative Simplification
non-privacy Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) rules has been delegated to the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS). (68 FR 60694 Part F,
October 23, 2003) 45 CFR 160.308
states, ‘‘that the Secretary may conduct
compliance reviews to determine
whether covered entities are complying
with the applicable administrative
simplification provisions.’’ These
reviews are conducted at the discretion
of the Secretary. Title 45 CFR 160.310
requires that a covered entity provide
records and compliance reports to the
Secretary in cooperation with a
compliance review. Title 45 CFR
160.310 provides that a covered entity
must permit HHS, or its delegated
entity, access during normal business
hours to its facilities, books, records,
and other information, and other
information necessary to determine
compliance, but also provides that if the
Secretary determines that ‘‘exigent
circumstances exist, such as when
documents may be hidden or
destroyed,’’ the covered entity must
permit access at any time without
notice.
The purpose of this collection is to
retrieve information necessary to
conduct a compliance review as
described in CMS–0014–N (68 FR
60694). These forms will be submitted
to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), Program Management
