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

OMB desk officer by February 14, 2022.

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 without change of a 

currently approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Bid Pricing Tool 

(BPT) for Medicare Advantage (MA) 

Plans and Prescription Drug Plans 

(PDP); Use: This collection dates back to 

2005. Under the Medicare Prescription 

Drug, Improvement, and Modernization 

Act of 2003 (MMA), and implementing 

regulations at 42 CFR, Medicare 

Advantage organizations (MAO) and 

Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) are 

required to submit an actuarial pricing 

‘‘bid’’ for each plan offered to Medicare 

beneficiaries for approval by the Centers 

for Medicare & Medicaid Services 

(CMS). MAOs and PDPs use the Bid 

Pricing Tool (BPT) software to develop 

their actuarial pricing bid. The 

competitive bidding process defined by 

the ‘‘The Medicare Prescription Drug, 

Improvement, and Modernization Act’’ 

(MMA) applies to both the MA and Part 

D programs. It is an annual process that 

encompasses the release of the MA rate 

book in April, the bid’s that plans 

submit to CMS in June, and the release 

of the Part D and RPPO benchmarks, 

which typically occurs in August. Form 

Number: CMS–10142 (OMB control 

number: 0938–0944); Frequency: Yearly; 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments; Number of Respondents: 

555; Total Annual Responses: 4,995;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Family-to-Family Health Information 

Center Feedback Surveys OMB No. 

0906–0040—Extension 

Abstract: The Family-to-Family 

Health Information Center (F2F HIC or 

Center) program is authorized by the 

Social Security Act, Title V, § 501(c) (42 

U.S.C. 701(c)), as amended by the 

Medicare Access and CHIP 

Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 

114–10), § 216, the Bipartisan Budget 

Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–123), § 50501, 

and the Sustaining Excellence in 

Medicaid Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116–39), 

§ 5. The goal of the F2F HIC program is 

to promote optimal health for children 

and youth with special health care 

needs (CYSHCN) by facilitating their 

access to an effective health delivery 

system and by meeting the health 

information and support needs of 

families of CYSHCN and the 

professionals who serve them. HRSA’s 

Maternal and Child Health Bureau 

funds 59 F2F HICs in each of the 50 

United States and the District of 

Columbia, five U.S. Territories (Puerto 

Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. 

Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana 

Islands); and three F2F HICs who serve 

American Indians/Alaska Natives. On 

average, these Centers provide 

information, education, technical 

assistance, and peer support to 

approximately 200,000 families of 

CYSHCN and approximately 100,000 

health professionals each year. F2F HICs 

are staffed by families of CYSHCN who 

are uniquely positioned to provide such 

services, and by health professionals. 

F2F HIC staff also assist in ensuring 

families and health professionals are 

partners in decision making at all levels 

of care and service delivery. 

In order to evaluate the F2F HIC 

program, HRSA developed two Familyto-Family Health Information Center 

Feedback Surveys for family members of 

CYSHCN and health professionals who 

serve such families. Each F2F HIC 

administers the surveys and reports data 

back to HRSA. Survey respondents will 

be asked to answer questions about how 

useful they found the information, 

assistance, or resources received from 

the F2F HICs. The purpose of this notice 

is to solicit comments regarding the 

continuation of previously approved 

feedback surveys; no changes will be 

made to the survey instruments. 

A 60-day notice published in the 

Federal Register, 86, FR 60260 

(November 1, 2021). There were no 

public comments. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: Data from the feedback 

surveys will provide mechanisms to 

capture consistent performance data 

from F2F HIC grant recipients. The data 

will also allow F2F HICs to evaluate the 

effectiveness of their interventions and 

improve services provided to families 

and the providers who serve CYSHCN 

families. 

Likely Respondents: Likely 

respondents are users of F2F HIC 

services, which include family members 

of CYSHCN and health professionals 

who serve such families. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this ICR are 

summarized in the table below.

proposed information collection for the 

proper performance of the agency’s 

functions, (2) the accuracy of the
