Terms of Clearance:
This ICR is approved for 12 months as it is associated with CMS's annual "Call Letter." Since the Call Letter discusses the information to be contained in the applications and the method by which they shall be submitted to CMS, in the Call Letter CMS shall (a) provide a reference to this OMB control number whenever the Part D application requirements are discussed, (b) provide an estimate of the burden entailed, and (c) indicate that CMS has issued a 60 day Federal Register notice for this ICR inviting public comments on the burden estimates and utility associated with this collection. CMS shall ensure that enough time is provided to the public to allow for both the 60 day and 30 day public comment periods. Per the PRA, OMB approval must be secured prior to the date by which Medicare Part D plans will need to submit these applications. The timing of the Call Letter and the 60 day and 30 day Federal Register notices should therefore be carefully considered and coordinated. Previous terms of clearance remain in effect.
