Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS.

    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506I(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 
Services (CMS), Department of Health and Human Services is publishing 
the following summary of proposed collections for public comment. 
Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden 
estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, 
including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility 
of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of 
the Agency's function; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology to minimize the information 
collection burden.
    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently 
approval collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Drug 
Program Monthly and Quarterly Drug Reporting Format; Use: In order for 
payment to be made under Medicaid, the drug labeler must complete and 
sign a drug rebate agreement and fill in the information on the related 
documents. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 added 
two new data elements to potentially be reported by manufacturers. In 
addition, the Food and Drug Administration has informed us that 
``DESI'' is now obsolete; therefore, we are replacing it with a more 
appropriate ``rebate eligibility code'' that will more accurately 
describe how a product is eligible for coverage under the drug rebate 
program. Form Number: CMS-367 (OMB: 0938-0578); Frequency: 
Monthly and Quarterly; Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or 
other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 580; Total Annual Responses: 
9,280; Total Annual Hours: 137,344 (For policy questions regarding this 
collection contact Gail Sexton at 410-786-4583. For all other issues
