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:

to a previously approved information
collection; Title of Information
Collection: National Provider Identifier
(NPI) Application and Update Form and
Supporting Regs in 45 CFR 142.408, 45
CFR 162.408, 45 CFR 162.406; Use: The
adoption by the Secretary of HHS of the
standard unique health identifier for
health care providers is a requirement of
the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
The unique identifier is to be used on
standard transactions and may be used
for other lawful purposes in the health
care system. The CMS Final Rule
published on January 23, 2004, adopts
the National Provider Identifier (NPI) as
the standard unique health identifier for
health care providers. Health care
providers that are covered entities under
HIPAA must apply for and use NPIs in
standard transactions. Other health care
providers are eligible for NPIs but are
not required by regulation to apply for
them or use them. Health care providers
began applying for NPIs on May 23,
2005.
The National Provider Identifier
Application and Update Form is used
by health care providers to apply for
NPIs and furnish updates to the
information they supplied on their
initial applications. The form is also
used to deactivate their NPIs if
necessary. The original application form
was approved in February 2005 and has
been in use since May 23, 2005. The
form is available on paper or can be
completed via a web-based process.
Health care providers can mail a paper
application, complete the application
via the web-based process via the
National Plan and Provider
Enumeration System (NPPES), or have a
trusted organization submit the
application on their behalf via the
Electronic File Interchange (EFI)
process. The Enumerator uses the
NPPES to process the application and
generate the NPI. NPPES is the Medicare
contractor tasked with issuing NPIs, and
maintaining and storing NPI data. Form

§ 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

Denial Program reports noncustodial
parents who owe child and spousal
support above a specified threshold to
the Department of State, which will
