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: Prescription
Drug and Health Care Spending; Use:
On December 27, 2020, the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021
(CAA) was signed into law. Section 204
of Title II of Division BB of the CAA
added parallel provisions at section
9825 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code), section 725 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA), and section 2799A–10 of the
Public Health Service Act (PHS Act)
that require group health plans and
health insurance issuers offering group
or individual health insurance coverage
to annually report to the Department of
the Treasury, the Department of Labor
(DOL), and the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS)
(collectively, ‘‘the Departments’’) certain
information about prescription drug and
health care spending, premiums, and
enrollment under the plan or coverage.
This information will support the

development of public reports that will
be published by the Departments on
prescription drug reimbursements for
plans and coverage, prescription drug
pricing trends, and the role of
prescription drug costs in contributing
to premium increases or decreases
under the plans or coverage. The 2021
interim final rules, ‘‘Prescription Drug
and Health Care Spending’’ (2021
interim final rules), issued by the
Departments and the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) implement the
provisions of section 9825 of the Code,
section 725 of ERISA, and section
2799A–10 of the PHS Act, as enacted by
section 204 of Title II of Division BB of
the CAA. OPM joined the Departments
in issuing the 2021 interim final rules,
requiring Federal Employees Health
Benefits (FEHB) carriers to report
information about prescription drug and
health care spending, premiums, and
plan enrollment in the same manner as
a group health plan or health insurance
issuer offering group or individual
health insurance coverage.
The 2023 Prescription Drug Data
Collection (RxDC) Reporting
Instructions reflect changes for the 2023
reference year and beyond. As a result
of removing first-year implementation
costs and burdens that were incurred
prior to 2024, it is estimated that there
will be a decrease in total three-year
average annual burden from 1,684,080
to 668,952. Form Number: CMS–10788
(OMB Control Number: 0938–1407);
Frequency: Annually; Affected Public:
Private Sector; Number of Respondents:
356; Number of Responses: 356; Total
