Collection for Initial Determinations
and Appeals
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 Collections
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: Medicare
Drug Coverage and Your Rights; Use:
Section 423.562(a)(3) and an associated
regulatory provision at
§ 423.128(b)(7)(iii) require that Part D
plan sponsors’ network pharmacies
provide Part D enrollees with a printed
copy of our standardized pharmacy
notice ‘‘Medicare Drug Coverage and
Your Rights’’ (hereafter, ‘‘notice’’) if an
enrollee’s prescription cannot be filled.
The purpose of this notice is to
provide enrollees with information
about how to contact their Part D plans
to request a coverage determination,
including a request for an exception to
the Part D plan’s formulary. The notice
reminds enrollees about certain rights

and protections related to their
Medicare prescription drug benefits,
including the right to receive a written
explanation from the drug plan about
why a prescription drug is not covered.
Through delivery of this standardized
notice, a Part D plan sponsor’s network
pharmacies are in the best position to
inform enrollees at point of sale about
how to contact their Part D plan if the
prescription cannot be filled. Form

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a

Information Collection: Service Level
Data Collection for Initial
Determinations and Appeals; Use: The
Part C and D Reporting Requirements, as
set forth in §§ 422.516(a) and 423.514(a),
provide CMS with the ability to collect
more granular data related to all plan
activities regarding adjudicating
requests for coverage and plan
procedures related to making service
utilization decisions. This includes
collecting more timely data with greater
frequency or closer in real-time. The
proposed data elements listed in the
Technical Specifications document in
this proposed PRA would provide key
data to CMS on the utilization of
benefits, enhance audit activities to
ensure plans are operating in
accordance with CMS guidelines, and
ensure appropriate access to covered
services and benefits.
CMS staff will use this information to
monitor health plans and to hold them
accountable for their performance. CMS
users include group managers, division
managers, branch managers, account
managers, and researchers. Health plans
can use this information to measure and
benchmark their performance. CMS
receives inquiries from the industry and
other interested stakeholders about
beneficiary access to the items, services,
and drugs, including service level data
for initial determinations and appeals,
and other factors pertaining to use of
government funds, as well the
performance of MA plans. Form

Submission for OMB Review; Child
Abuse and Neglect Background
Checks for Child Care and Early
Education Project (New Collection)
Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, Administration for
Children and Families, Department of
Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) is proposing an
information collection activity for the
Child Abuse and Neglect Background
Checks for Child Care and Early
Education (CAN Checks for CCEE)
Project. The goal of the project is to
better understand how states and
territories use findings from CAN
registry background checks, as required
by the Child Care and Development
Block Grant Act of 2014 (CCDBG), to
make child care employment eligibility
determinations. The study will also be
used to understand state and territory
variation, facilitators, and challenges in
implementing CAN registry background
checks; and explore any resulting
within- or across-state/territory equity
implications.
SUMMARY:
Comments due within 30 days of
publication. The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) must make a
decision about the collection of
information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
DATES:
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review-Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. You can also obtain
copies of the proposed collection of
information by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. All
emailed requests should be identified by
the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed
information collections for the CAN
Checks for CCEE Project is designed to
explore how states and territories
implement CAN registry background
checks for child care employment
eligibility decisions. While the CCDBG
Act of 2014 clearly describes procedures
and exclusionary criteria pertaining to
the use of criminal and sexual offender
registry background checks to inform
child care employment eligibility
decisions, requirements for the use of
CAN registry background checks are less
clear. The findings will be of interest to
ACF, and, in particular, to OPRE and
the Office of Child Care, who are
interested in the effective and equitable
implementation of CAN registry
background checks for prospective and
current child care staff. Findings will
also be of interest to Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) state/
territory lead agencies that oversee the
CCDF program in their states/territories
and the state/territory offices that
oversee early care and education. The
results of this study also have
implications for child care programs
and staff. Further, given the U.S.
Congress’ interest in prior exploratory
work on this topic, it may also be
informative to federal lawmakers.
CCDF lead agency staff that
participate in this information
collection will be asked to complete a
voluntary, one-time web-based survey.
The survey will focus on the practices
and policies related both to in-state/
territory and interstate CAN registry
checks, including what data they
request and receive, as well as how they
use it in making child care employment
eligibility decisions.
Respondents: Each state, territory, and
the District of Columbia will be invited
to complete one web-based survey.
Given that each agency may have
multiple staff members with relevant
knowledge of different survey topics
and no one staff member may possess
all of the knowledge to complete the
survey, CCDF Lead Agencies may have
multiple staff members work together to
complete the survey. For burden
estimates, we are assuming up to 3
respondents may work on the survey
