1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection. Title of Information Collection: Quarterly
Medicaid Statement of Expenditures for the Medical Assistance Program.
Use: Form CMS-64 has been used since January 1980 by Medicaid state
agencies to report their actual program benefit costs and
administrative expenses. CMS uses this information to compute the
federal financial participation for the state's Medicaid program costs.
Certain schedules of the CMS-64 form are used by states to report
budget, expenditure and related statistical information required for
implementation of the Medicaid portion of the State Children's Health
Insurance Programs, Title XXI of the Social Security Act, established
by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Form Number: CMS-64 (OCN: 0938-
0067). Frequency: Quarterly. Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments. Number of Respondents: 56. Total Annual Responses: 224.
Total Annual Hours: 16,464. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Abraham John at 410-786-4518. For all other issues
call 410-786-1326.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection. Title of Information Collection: Reporting
Requirements for States Under Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA)
Provisions. Use: The HHS Secretary is required to submit annual reports
to Congress with information collected from states in accordance with
section 5004(d) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Medicaid agencies in 50 states complete the reports while CMS reviews
the information to determine if each state has met all of the reporting
requirements specified under section 5004(d). We are revising this
package to remove the requirement to report the Medicaid Federal
Medical Assistance Percentage since it no longer needs to be collected
from states. Form Number: CMS-10295 (OCN: 0938-1073). Frequency:
Quarterly. Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments. Number
of Respondents: 50. Total Annual Responses: 200. Total Annual Hours:
400. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Rhonda
Simms at 410-786-1200. For all other issues call 410-786-1326.)
3. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Collection
Requirements for Compendia for Determination of Medically-accepted
Indications for Off-label Uses of Drugs and Biologicals in an Anti-
cancer Chemotherapeutic Regimen Use: Section 182(b) of the Medicare
Improvement of Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) amended Section
1861(t)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395x(t)(2)(B)) by
adding at the end the following new sentence: `On and after January 1,
2010, no compendia may be included on the list of compendia under this
subparagraph unless the compendia has a publicly transparent process
for evaluating therapies and for identifying potential conflicts of
interest.' We believe that the implementation of this statutory
provision that compendia have a ``publicly transparent process for
evaluating therapies and for identifying potential conflicts of
interests'' is best accomplished by amending 42 CFR 414.930 to include
the MIPPA requirements and by defining the key components of publicly
transparent processes for evaluating therapies and for identifying
potential conflicts of interests.
All currently listed compendia will be required to comply with
these provisions, as of January 1, 2010, to remain on the list of
recognized compendia. In addition, any compendium that is the subject
of a future request for inclusion on the list of recognized compendia
will be required to comply with these provisions. No compendium can be
on the list if it does not fully meet the standard described in section
1861(t)(2)(B) of the Act, as revised by section 182(b) of the MIPPA.
Form Number: CMS-10302 (OCN: 0938-1078); Frequency: Reporting,
Recordkeeping and Third-party disclosure; Affected Public: Business and
other for-profits and Not-for-profit institutions; Number of
Respondents: 845; Total Annual Responses: 900; Total Annual Hours:
5,135. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Brijet
Coachman at 410-786-7364. For all other issues call 410-786-1326.)
4. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Part D
Reporting Requirements; Use: Title I, Part 423, Sec. 423.514 describes
CMS' regulatory authority to establish reporting requirements for Part
D sponsors. It is noted that each Part D plan sponsor must have an
effective procedure to develop, compile, evaluate, and report to CMS,
to its enrollees, and to the general public, at the times and in the
manner that CMS requires, statistics in the following areas: the cost
of its operations; the patterns of utilization of its services; the
availability, accessibility, and acceptability of its services;
information demonstrating that the Part D plan sponsor has a fiscally
sound operation; and other matters that CMS may require. CMS has
identified the appropriate data needed to effectively monitor plan
performance. Changes to the currently approved data collection
instrument reflect new executive orders, legislation, as well as recent
changes to Agency policy and guidance. Form Number: CMS-10185 (OCN:
0938-0992); Frequency: Reporting, Recordkeeping and Third-party
disclosure; Affected Public: Business and other for-profits; Number of
Respondents: 690; Total Annual Responses: 8,067; Total Annual Hours:
12,658. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Latoyia
Grant at 410-786-5434. For all other issues call 410-786-1326.)
