Section 1927 of the Social Security
Act requires drug manufacturers to enter into and have in effect a
rebate agreement with CMS in order for States to receive funding
for drugs dispensed to Medicaid recipients. Drug manufacturers must
explain to States any rebate payment adjustments for the current
quarter, and any prior quarters. The information is used to
reconcile drug rebate payments made by manufacturers with the State
invoices of rebates due.
In this 2020 iteration our
total time estimates have increased by 25,032 hours due to an
increase in the number of respondents (manufacturer participation
increased from 657 to 738). Although we are proposing minor updates
to the punctuation, field names, and data definitions on forms
CMS-304 and -304a, the changes are intended to align the forms with
CMS-367 (OMB 0938-0578) and CMS-368/-R-144 (OMB 0938-0582). Our per
response time estimates remain unchanged. Lastly, our cost
estimates have increased by $1,931,374 as a result of the increased
number of manufacturers and the use of more recent BLS wage
data.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
