The purpose of this information collection is to obtain OMB approval for the initiation of the 340B ADR process and the uploading of the related documents. The 340B ADR Final Rule (89 Fed. Reg. 28,643 (Apr. 19, 2024) (to be codified at 42 C.F.R. part 10)) provides the requirements for filing a 340B ADR claim. While the rule was going through OMB review and clearance, OMB stated that the initiation of the ADR process, is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), so HRSA needs to do a PRA package for it. To initiate the 340B ADR process, a petitioner will email OPAâs designated mailbox with its 340B ID or Labeler code and contact information, the 340B ID or Labeler code and contact information of the opposing party, and a brief description of the claim. Once a petition is filed, OPA reviews the petition to make sure the claim meets the requirements for the 340B ADR process. Both the petitioner and opposing party will be required to upload certain documentation to a secure 340B ADR workspace in the 340B Office of Pharmacy Affairs Information System (340B OPAIS) to substantiate the claim. After an initial review of the claim and any supporting documentation, OPA staff will determine whether the requirements for filing a claim have been met, and if the claim is deemed complete, OPA will notify the parties. OMB has agreed that once the claim is assigned to a 340B ADR Panel for review, these subsequent steps are exempt from PRA requirements, pursuant to the exception for administrative actions or investigations involving an agency against specific individuals or entities.
