The purpose of this ICR is for the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to collect
information to implement the Medicare Part D Drug Inflation Rebate
Program as proposed in CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS)
proposed rule. Specifically, section 1860D 14B(b)(1)(B) of the Act
requires that beginning with plan year 2026, CMS shall exclude from
the total number of units for a Part D rebatable drug, with respect
to an applicable period, those units for which a manufacturer
provides a discount under the 340B Program. In the CY 2026 PFS
proposed rule, CMS proposed to establish a 340B repository to
receive voluntary submissions from covered entities of certain data
elements from Part D 340B claims to allow CMS to assess such data
for use in identifying units of Part D rebatable drugs for which a
manufacturer provides a discount under the 340B Program in a future
applicable period. CMS proposed to allow covered entities to submit
data on units of Part D rebatable drugs for which a manufacturer
provides a discount under the 340B Program beginning in 2026 to
begin testing the usability of the 340B repository. This ICR will
enable CMS to collect information to implement this voluntary
collection.
This is a new collection that
is associated with our CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final
rule. The rule establishes a 340B repository to receive voluntary
submissions from covered entities. Overall it sets out a burden of
10,400 responses (2,600 covered entities x 4 quarterly responses)
and 83,200 total hours.
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
