AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

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 May 25, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting

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 of 

Information Collection: Medicare 

Prescription Drug Benefit Program; Use: 

Plan sponsor and State information is 

used by CMS to approve contract 

applications, monitor compliance with 

contract requirements, make proper 

payment to plans, and ensure that 

correct information is disclosed to 

potential and current enrollees. Form 

Number: CMS–10141 (OMB control 

number: 0938–0964); Frequency: 

Annually; Affected Public: Private 

Sector and Business or other for-profit 

institutions; Number of Respondents: 

11,771,497; Total Annual Responses: 

675,231,213; Total Annual Hours: 

9,261,354. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Chad 

D. Buskirk at 410–786–1630.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Data Use 

Agreement (DUA) Form, Research 

Identifiable Files Request Packet, and 

Data Management Plan; Use: CMS is 

permitted to disclose data files for 

approved research purposes in 

compliance with 45 CFR 164.512(i). 

Researchers requesting research 

identifiable files (RIF) must, as part of 

the request process, complete a research 

request packet that provides CMS with 

information pertaining to the research 

study, including describing how the 

research results/findings will be 

disseminated, as well as the data files 

being requested. Should CMS approve 

the research request, the data requestor 

enters into a Data Use Agreement 

(DUA). This data collection is necessary 

to ensure that disclosures of data for 

research purposes comply with federal 

laws and regulations as well as CMS 

policy. 

Researchers requesting RIF files also 

must complete a Data Management Plan 

Self-Attestation Questionnaire (DMP 

SAQ). A DMP SAQ is required each 

time a DUA is established. Both the 

DUA and the DMP SAQ forms are valid 

for one year from the date of approval 

and are renewable at expiration. If the 

environment described in a DMP SAQ 

is the same for multiple DUAs from a 

single organization, the same DMP SAQ 

can be used across the DUAs, provided 

it has not expired.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2022 / Notices 24309 

The DMP SAQ is a technical, 

evidence-based questionnaire that DUA 

users must complete as part of the data 

request packet. The DMP SAQ will 

enable CMS to evaluate researcher data 

systems to ensure that CMS data are 

adequately secured and appropriately 

protected, as per the Privacy Act and the 

HIPAA Privacy Rule. The DMP SAQ 

also allows CMS to measure compliance 

through the implementation of security 

and privacy controls as outlined in the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) Special Publication 

800–53 and the Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) Information 

Security and Acceptable Risk 

Safeguards (ARS). The second 

component of the DMP SAQ is to 

provide ongoing oversight. All 

organizations will be subject to routine 

audits of the environments used to store 

and process CMS data, as described in 

their organizational-level DMP SAQ.

3. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement of a previously 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Payment 

Collections Operations Contingency 

Plan; Use: Under sections 1401, 1411, 

and 1412 of the Patient Protection and 

Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and 45 

CFR part 155 subpart D, an Exchange 

makes an advance determination of tax 

credit eligibility for individuals who 

enroll in QHP coverage through the 

Exchange and seek financial assistance. 

Using information available at the time 

of enrollment, the Exchange determines 

whether the individual meets the 

income and other requirements for 

advance payments and the amount of 

the advance payments that can be used 

to pay premiums. Advance payments 

are made periodically under section 

1412 of the PPACA to the issuer of the 

QHP in which the individual enrolls. 

Section 1402 of the PPACA provides for 

the reduction of cost sharing for certain 

individuals enrolled in a QHP through 

an Exchange, and section 1412 of the 

PPACA provides for the advance 

payment of these reductions to issuers. 

The statute directs issuers to reduce cost 

sharing for essential health benefits for 

individuals with household incomes 

between 100 and 400 percent of the 

Federal poverty level (FPL) who are 

enrolled in a silver level QHP through 

an individual market Exchange and are 

eligible for advance payments of the 

premium tax credit. Until January 2016, 

HHS collected data required to meet 

these statutory requirements via a 

manual system in which issuers 

submitted data. HHS now has an 

automated system that does not require 

issuer data submission for FFE issuers. 

The data collection has been used by 

HHS to make payments or collect 

charges from SBE issuers under the 

following programs: Advance payments 

of the premium tax credit, advanced 

cost-sharing reductions, and Exchange 

user fees. The workbook template was 

used to make payments in January 2014 

and will continue for issuers in states 

transitioning to a State-Based Exchange, 

as may be required based on HHS’s 

operational progress. Form Number: 

CMS–10515 (OMB Control Number:

Affected Public: Private Sector— 

Business or other for-profits and not-forprofit institutions; Number of
