lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
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: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Data Use
Agreement (DUA) Form, Research
Identifiable Files Request Packet; Use:
Coverage for the prescription drug
benefit is provided through contracted
prescription drug plans (PDPs) or
through Medicare Advantage (MA)
plans that offer integrated prescription
drug and health care coverage (MA–PD
plans). Cost Plans that are regulated
under Section 1876 of the Social
Security Act, and Employer Group
Waiver Plans (EGWP) may also provide
a Part D benefit. Organizations wishing
to provide services under the
Prescription Drug Benefit Program must
complete an application, negotiate rates,
and receive final approval from CMS.
Existing Part D Sponsors may also
expand their contracted service area by
completing the Service Area Expansion
(SAE) application.
Collection of this information is
mandated in Part D of the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) in
Subpart 3. The application requirements
are codified in Subpart K of 42 CFR 423
entitled ‘‘Application Procedures and
Contracts with PDP Sponsors.’’
The information will be collected
under the solicitation of proposals from
PDP, MA–PD, Cost Plan, Program of All
Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE),
and EGWP applicants. The collected
information will be used by CMS to: (1)
Ensure that applicants meet CMS
requirements for offering Part D plans
(including network adequacy,
contracting requirements, and
compliance program requirements, as
described in the application), (2)
support the determination of contract
awards. Form Numbers: CMS–R–235
(OMB control number: 0938–0734);
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Frequency: Occasionally; Affected
Public: Private Sector, State, Local, or
Tribal Governments, Federal
Government (Business or for-profits and
Not-for-profit institutions); Number of
Respondents: 8,445; Total Annual
Responses: 8,445; Total Annual Hours:
2,396. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Kari A. Gaare at

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Contract Year
2023 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
populate data on Medicare Plan Finder,
which allows beneficiaries to access and
compare Medicare Advantage and
Prescription Drug plans. Form Number:
CMS–R–262 (OMB control number:
0938–0763); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Private sector (Business or other
for-profits and Not-for-profit
institutions), State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
785; Total Annual Responses: 8,405;
Total Annual Hours: 76,378. (For policy

provide context on participants’
perspectives on these services;
• interviews with employers offering
financial capability services to collect
qualitative information on the types of
financial capability services delivered in
the employer context; and
• focus groups with administrators of
organizations to identify challenges
integrating financial capability services
into employment and training services.
