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: Extension of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Drug 
Rebate Program State Reporting Forms; Use: Form CMS 368 is a report of 
contact for the State to name the individuals involved in the Medicaid 
Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) and is required only in those instances 
where a change to the originally submitted data is necessary. The 
ability to require the reporting of any changes to these data is 
necessary to the efficient operation of these programs. Form CMS-R-144 
is required from States quarterly to report utilization for any drugs 
paid for during that quarter. Form Number: CMS-368 and -R-144 (OMB 
control number: 0938-0582); Frequency: Quarterly and on occasion;

data for certain physician-administered drugs in order to receive 
Federal financial participation for these drugs. Physicians, serving as 
respondents to states, submit National Drug Code numbers and 
utilization information for ``J'' code physician-administered drugs so 
that the states will have sufficient information to collect drug rebate 
dollars. Form Number: CMS-10215 (OMB control number: 0938-1026);

Not-for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 26,000; Total
