3. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement without change 

of a previously approved collection; 

Title of Information Collection: 

Collection of Drug Pricing and Network 

Pharmacy Data from Medicare 

Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs and MA– 

PDs) and Supporting Regulations; Use: 

Both stand alone prescription drug 

plans (PDPs) and Medicare Advantage 

Prescription Drug (MA–PDs) plans are 

required to submit drug pricing and 

pharmacy network data to us. These 

data are made publicly available to 

people with Medicare through the 

Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder 

web tool on http://www.medicare.gov. 

Drug prices vary across a plans 

pharmacy network based on the 

contracts that each plan negotiates with 

each pharmacy or pharmacy chain in 

their networks. The pharmacy networks 

can change during the course of the year 

as new pharmacies open, close, change 

ownership, or plans negotiate new 

contracts with pharmacies resulting in 

different dispensing fees for 

prescriptions. Drug prices also change 

frequently due to the daily fluctuation 

of the Average Wholesale Price (AWP), 

thus plans increase or decrease their 

drug prices to reflect these changes. 

The purpose of the data is to enable 

prospective and current Medicare 

beneficiaries to compare, learn, select 

and enroll in a plan that best meets their 

needs. The database structure provides 

the necessary drug pricing and 

pharmacy network information to 

accurately communicate plan 

information in a comparative format.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Center for Medicare and 

Medicaid Innovation (Innovation 

Center) is interested in identifying 

models designed to improve care for 

beneficiaries with end-stage renal 

disease (ESRD). To promote seamless 

and integrated care for beneficiaries 

with ESRD, we are developing a 

comprehensive care delivery model to 

emphasize coordination of a full-range 

of clinical and non-clinical services 

across providers, suppliers, and settings. 

Through the Comprehensive ESRD Care 

Model, we seek to identify ways to 

improve the coordination and quality of 

care for this population, while lowering 

total per-capita expenditures under the 

Medicare program. We anticipate that 

the Comprehensive ESRD Care Model 

would result in improved health 

outcomes for beneficiaries with ESRD 

regarding the functional status, quality 

of life, and overall well-being, as well as 

increased beneficiary and caregiver 

engagement, and lower costs to 

Medicare through improved care 

coordination. 

On February 6, 2013, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing a request for applications 

from organizations to participate in the 

testing of the Comprehensive ESRD Care 

Model, for a period beginning in 2013 

and ending in 2016, with a possible 

extension into subsequent years. 

In that notice, we stated that 

organizations interested in applying to 

participate in the testing of the 

Comprehensive ESRD Care Model must 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 154 / Friday, August 9, 2013 / Notices 48689 

submit a non-binding letter of intent by 

March 15, 2013, and an application by 

May 1, 2013. 

On July 17, 2013, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing an extension of deadlines. 

The new deadlines were July 19, 2013 

for the Letter of Intent and August 1, 

2013 for the application. 

II. Provisions of the Notice 

Since the publication of the July 17, 

2013 notice, several stakeholders have 

requested additional time to prepare 

their applications and form 

partnerships. Therefore, for the 

Comprehensive ESRD Care Initiative, 

the Innovation Center is reopening the 

Letters of Intent submission period and 

extending the deadlines for submission 

of both the Letters of Intent and the 

Applications to August 30, 2013. 

In the DATES section of this notice, we 

are including the new submissions 

deadlines. For additional information 

on the Comprehensive ESRD Care 

Model and how to apply, we refer 

readers to click on the Request for 

Applications located on the Innovation 

Center Web site at: http://

Home Visiting: Approaches to Father 

Engagement and Father’s Experiences 

Study.

engagement of fathers. 

Data collection will involve semistructured discussions and interviews 

with administrators and managers of 

select home visiting programs as well as 

staff about the objectives, experiences, 

and specific methods and approaches 

used by program operators that have 

successfully engaged fathers. 

Data collection will also include semistructured discussions and interviews 

with invited and/or participating fathers 

about their expectations, perceptions, 

and opinions of the home visiting 

program and experiences with the 

program. 

Respondents: Administrators and 

managers of select home visiting 

programs, home visiting staff, and 

participating and invited fathers.
