3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a previously
approved collection;
Title of Information Collection:
Medicare Part D Reporting
Requirements; Use: Section 1860D–
12(b)(3)(D) of the Act provides broad
authority for the Secretary to add terms
to the contracts with Part D sponsors,
including terms that require the sponsor
to provide the Secretary with
information as the Secretary may find
necessary and appropriate. Pursuant to
our statutory authority, we codified
these information collection
requirements for Part D sponsors in
regulation at 42 CFR 423.514(a).
Data collected via the Medicare Part D
reporting requirements will be an
integral resource for oversight,
monitoring, compliance, and auditing
activities necessary to ensure quality
provision of the Medicare Prescription
Drug Benefit to beneficiaries. For all
reporting sections (Enrollment and
Disenrollment, Medication Therapy
Management (MTM) Programs,
Grievances, Improving Drug Utilization
Review Controls, Coverage
Determinations and Redeterminations,
and Employer/Union Sponsored
Sponsors), data are reported
electronically to CMS. The data
collected via the MTM and Grievances
reporting sections are used in the
Medicare Part C and D Star Ratings and
Display Measures. The other reporting
sections’ data are analyzed for program
oversight to ensure the availability,
accessibility, and acceptability of
sponsors’ services, such as coverage
determinations and appeals processes,
and opioid safety edits at the time of
dispensing. Form Number: CMS–10185
(OMB control number: 0938–0992);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public:
Business or other for-profits; Number of
Respondents: 814; Total Annual
Responses: 12,575; Total Annual Hours:
16,463. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Chanelle Jones at
410–786–8008).
4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a previously
approved
collection; Title of Information
Collection: CMS Identity Management
(IDM) System; Use: HIPAA regulations
require covered entities to verify the
identity of the person requesting
Personal Health Information (PHI) and
the person’s authority to have access to
that information. Per the HIPAA
Security Rule, covered entities,
regardless of their size, are required
under Section164.312(a)(2)(i) to ‘‘assign
a unique name and/or number for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:13 Mar 18, 2021
Jkt 253001
identifying and tracking user identity.’’
A ‘user’ is defined in Section 164.304 as
a ‘‘person or entity with authorized
access’’. Accordingly, the Security Rule
requires covered entities to assign a
unique name and/or number to each
employee or workforce member who
uses a system that receives, maintains or
transmits electronic PHI, so that system
access and activity can be identified and
tracked by user. This pertains to
workforce members within health plans,
group health plans, small or large
provider offices, clearinghouses and
beneficiaries.
The information collected will be
gathered and used solely by CMS,
approved contractor(s), and state health
insurance exchanges to prove the
identity of an individual requesting
electronic access to CMS protected
information or services. Information
confidentiality will conform to the
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 and
the Federal Information Security
Management Act (FISMA) requirements.
Respondents may also access CMS’
Terms of Service and Privacy Statement
on the CMS Portal and IDM websites.
CMS has moved from this centralized
on premise model for enterprise identity
management to a cloud-based solution,
IDM, with multiple products providing
specialized services: Okta Identity as a
Service (IDaaS), which includes MultiFactor Authentication (MFA) services;
Experian Remote Identity Proofing
(RIDP) services; and Cloud Computing
Services-Amazon Web Services/
Information Technology Operations
(CCS–AWS/ITOps) Hub Hosting. In
order to prove the identity of an
individual requesting electronic access
to CMS protected information or
services, IDM (leveraging Experian
Precise ID RIDP services) will collect a
core set of attributes about that
individual. Form Number: CMS–10452
(OMB control number: 0938–1236);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public:
Individuals and Households; Number of
Respondents: 560,000; Total Annual
Responses: 560,000; Total Annual
Hours: 186,667. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact
Malachi Robinson at 410–786–1849).

concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
the estimated burden, ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

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: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Generic
Clearance for Medicaid and CHIP State
Plan, Waiver, and Program Submissions;
Use: State Medicaid and CHIP agencies
are responsible for developing
submissions to CMS, including state
plan amendments and requests for
waivers and program demonstrations.
States use templates when they are
available and submit the forms to
review for consistency with statutory
and regulatory requirements (or in the
case of waivers and demonstrations
whether the proposal is likely to
promote the objectives of the Medicaid
program). If the requirements are met,
we approve the states’ submissions
giving them the authority to implement
the flexibilities. For a state to receive
Medicaid Title XIX funding, there must
be an approved Title XIX state plan.
The development of streamlined
submissions forms enhances the
collaboration and partnership between
states and CMS by documenting our
policy for states to use as they are
developing program changes.
Streamlined forms improve efficiency of
administration by creating a common
and user-friendly understanding of the
information we need to quickly process
requests for state plan amendments,
waivers, and demonstration, as well as
ongoing reporting. This notice replaces
the notice that published on February
26, 2021 (86 FR 11779) and was
VerDate Sep<11>2014

subsequently withdrawn on March 9 (86
FR 13565). Form Number: CMS–10398
(OMB control number: 0938–1148);
Frequency: Collection-specific, but
generally the frequency is yearly, once,
and occasionally; Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments; Number
of Respondents: 56; Total Responses:
1,540; Total Hours: 154,104 (3-year
total). (For policy questions regarding

ACTION: Request for Public Comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing a new

emailed or written, should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed information
collection activity will assess the
implementation of Project Connect, a
comprehensive home visitation
intervention that provides home-based
services and treatment to child welfareinvolved, substance-affected families
with children and adolescents ages 0 to
17. The program aims to strengthen, and
address the complex needs of,
substance-affected families by providing
intensive, long-term services that
address issues of unhealthy parental
substance use and help parents recover
while keeping children safe. It focuses
on maintaining children safely in their
homes (preventing admission to care) or
facilitating reunification when children
have been placed in out-of-home care.
The implementation study will
support a planned effectiveness
evaluation that will rely on
administrative data to examine the
impact of the program on child welfare
outcomes. These information collection
activities will take place over the course
of five site visits to the program and
child welfare agency that are
participating in the study. Information
collection activities include interviews
with program and child welfare agency
administrators, focus groups with
program and child welfare agency staff,
interviews and focus groups with
participants, interviews with other
program stakeholders, and observations
of program staff meetings, program
delivery, and judicial hearings. Site
visits will also include direct
observations of staff delivery of the
program, program staff meetings, and
relevant judicial hearings/activities for
program families.
This evaluation is part of a larger
project to help ACF build the evidence
base in child welfare through rigorous
evaluation of programs, practices, and
policies. The activities and products
from this project will contribute to
evidence building in child welfare and
help to determine the effectiveness of a
substance use program on child welfare
outcomes.
Respondents: Semi-structured
interviews will be completed with
agency and program administrators,
parents who are participating in the
program, parents receiving services as
usual, and other program stakeholders.
Focus groups will be conducted with
agency and program staff and parents
who are participating in the program
and parents receiving services as usual.
