CMS-10816 Medicare Part C and Medicare Part D Enrollment Form 
Interviews

    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: New Collection; Title of 
Information Collection: Medicare Part C and Medicare Part D Enrollment 
Form Interviews; Use: As CMS moves towards stratified reporting of 
quality measures and addressing healthcare inequity, highlighted by the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to analyze disparities across Medicare 
programs and policies depends on the ability to access and collect 
reliable race and ethnicity data consistently from Medicare Part C and 
Part D plans. The recent Executive Orders (E.O.) 13985 on Advancing 
Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the 
Federal Government and E.O. 14031 on Advancing Equity, Justice, and 
Opportunity for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific 
Islanders, have focused attention on the need for CMS to improve the 
collection and quality of its enrollees' race and ethnicity data, 
especially at the disaggregated level. Collecting complete race/
ethnicity data is important to CMS because CMS has interest in 
identifying patterns of differences across many key process and care 
outcomes by sociodemographic characteristics, including race and 
ethnicity.
    CMS' primary objective for the interviews is to identify the 
drivers of nonresponse to the race and ethnicity questions. 
Specifically, we aim to solicit detail on whether and what concerns 
drove individuals' nonresponse to these items, including (but not 
limited to) (a) concerns about confidentiality of their data, (b) 
concerns about how their race and ethnicity data would be used, 
including concerns about whether disclosing such information could in 
any way affect eligibility for Medicare benefits (which it would not), 
or (c) concerns about response options (e.g., missing response options 
for race or ethnicity groups in which they may identify). We also 
intend to explore whether it is possible to amend the race and 
ethnicity elements on Part C/D enrollment form to address any of those 
concerns, and if so, how. Additionally, we plan to ask whether there 
are other--beyond the Part C/D enrollment form--vehicles for collecting 
race and ethnicity information that would be more acceptable to non-
responders, and if so, what those are.; Form Number: CMS-10816 (OMB 
control number: 0938-New); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: 
Individuals and Households; Number of Respondents: 120; Total Annual 
Responses: 120; Total Annual Hours: 114. (For policy questions
