SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is 
announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention 
to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA), federal agencies are required to publish notice in 
the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of 
information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an 
existing collection of information, and to allow a second opportunity 
for public comment on the notice. Interested persons are invited to 
send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this 
collection of information, including the necessity and utility of the 
proposed information collection for the proper performance of the 
agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected, and the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection 
burden.

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by 
the OMB desk officer by October 31, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of

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: Data Request and Attestation for PDP 
Sponsors; Use: Section 50354 of the BBA requires that the Secretary 
establish a process for PDP sponsors to submit a request for 
standardized extracts of claims data for their enrollees. In addition, 
Section 50354 of the BBA provides for a number of purposes and 
limitation for the use of the claims data and also permits the 
Secretary to establish other limitations necessary to protect the 
identity of individuals entitled to or enrolled in Medicare, and to 
protect the security of personal health information.
    This information collection request allows a PDP sponsor to submit 
a request to CMS for claims data for its enrollees and to attest that 
it will adhere to the permitted uses and limitations on the use of the 
Medicare claims data that

its enrollees and attesting to the permitted uses and limitations of 
Medicare claims data, PDP sponsors are required to complete some basic 
on-boarding activities before gaining access to Medicare claims data 
using the Part A and B Claims Data to Part D Sponsors (AB2D) API. Form
