TKELLEY on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
(.TXT) file format. We have also
increased several file format data field
sizes in order to accommodate the
higher priced drugs that are entering the
market. These changes in conjunction
with numerous edits to verbiage are
applicable to Forms CMS–367a
(Quarterly Pricing), CMS–367b
(Monthly Pricing), CMS–367c (Product
Data), and CMS–367d (Manufacturer
Contact Form). Separately, we are also
updating corresponding collection of
information requests (OMB 0938–0582
and OMB 0938–0676) so that all the
MDP file formats, field sizes, and
verbiage will align across the MDRP.
Form Number: CMS–367a, b, c, and d
(OMB control number: 0938–0578);
Frequency: Monthly, quarterly, and on
occasion; Affected Public: Private sector
(Business or other for-profits); Number
of Respondents: 749; Total Annual
Responses: 14,980; Total Annual Hours:
558,979. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Andrea
Wellington at 410–786–3490.)
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision 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.
Effective July 1, 2021, the MDRP is
updating to a new Medicaid Drug
Programs (MDP) system which will now
accept a delimited text file format,
Comma Separated Values (.CSV), in
addition to the current Text (.TXT) file
format. We have also increased several
file format data field sizes in order to
accommodate the higher priced drugs
that are entering the market. These
changes in conjunction with numerous
edits to verbiage are applicable to Form
CMS–R–144. Separately, we are also

updating corresponding collection of
information requests (OMB 0938–0578
and OMB 0938–0676) so that all the
MDP file formats, field sizes, and
verbiage will align across the MDRP.
Form CMS–368 has been revised by
removing the DUR State Contact
information and description ‘‘Drug
Utilization Review (DUR) Program.’’
This information is now accounted for
under OMB 0938–0659. 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 Respondents:
56; Total Annual Responses: 290; Total
Annual Hours: 13,669. (For policy
questions regarding this collection

Project Director (or their designee) will
complete a Site Visit Planning Template
to assist the study team in scheduling
site visit interviews.
• Three Site Visit Discussion Guides.
To systematically capture data on
challenges and unique opportunities,
the study team will conduct interviews
with (1) project directors and leaders
from human services organizations, (2)
staff from the human services and
partner organizations, and (3) staff from
nonprofit and partner organizations that
support individuals who utilize human
services.
Respondents: Human services project
directors and leadership staff, human
services program staff, and staff from
nonprofit organizations and partners
that provide support to individuals who
utilize human services.
