General Comment

Regarding 'Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions: Medicare Part C and Part D Data Validation (42 C.F.R. 422.516(g) and 423.514(g))', Section B, 18. Certification Statement, recommend defining or clarifying "data collection year." Is data collection year the year of the data validation collection or the year that the reporting data was collected? For example, the data collection conducted by the independent external reviewer will take place in Spring 2011 while the initial data itself that was collected and reported is from 2010. This clarification would be helpful for a contract that terminates for 2011 determine whether or not it is required to validate 2010 data.
