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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:37 Oct 11, 2022 Jkt 259001 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: Solicitation for Applications for Medicare Prescription Drug Plan 2024 Contracts; 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 AllInclusive 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 Number: CMS–10137 (OMB Control Number: 0938–0936); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector, Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 783; Number of Responses: 425 Total Annual Hours: 1,861.

Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title: Applications for Part C Medicare Advantage, 1876 Cost Plans, and Employer Group Waiver Plans to Provide Part C Benefits; Use: Collection of this information is mandated by the Code of Federal Regulations, MMA, and CMS PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 regulations at 42 CFR 422, subpart K, in ‘‘Application Procedures and Contracts for Medicare Advantage Organizations.’’ In addition, the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) further amended titles XVII and XIX of the Social Security Act. This information collection includes the process for organizations wishing to provide healthcare services under MA plans. These organizations must complete an application annually (if required), file a bid, and receive final approval from CMS. The MA application process has two options for applicants that include (1) request for new MA product or (2) request for expanding the service area of an existing product. CMS utilizes the application process as the means to review, assess and determine if applicants are compliant with the current requirements for participation in the MA program and to make a decision related to contract award. This collection process is the only mechanism for organizations to complete the required MA application process. Form Number: CMS–10237 (OMB Control Number: 0938–0935); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector, Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 500; Number of Responses: 500 Total Annual Hours: 9,173.
