Abstract: The information will be collected solely from organizations and third-party requestors, such as law firms or other entities acting on behalf of organizations, that seek a meeting with the Administrator. The implementation of an online portal will facilitate the ease and efficiency of submitting requests. Requestors will have the capability to securely enter their requests electronically through this portal. Information collection is voluntary, whether or not it is provided through the portal or via a letter, but no matter how it is submitted to CMS, failure to provide the requested information will result in CMS’s inability to review, process, and/or act on the request. The data collected via the portal will be used by CMS to adjudicate meeting requests. The uses for this data are limited to the following administrative purposes: disposition of meeting (deciding whether or not to accept, delegate, or decline the meeting request), managing meeting logistics and scheduling coordination; gathering basic organizational information for preparation; conducting conflict of interest and ethics screening when necessary; and performing follow-up activities for accountability. CMS does not require organizations to submit information beyond what is essential. All data collected are subject to privacy and confidentiality requirements and serve legitimate governmental purposes. Requestors will be assigned a confirmation number for their request when they submit it. They will also receive an acknowledgement email corresponding to their request that confirms that CMS received their submission.
