Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Health Care Financing
Administration (HCFA), Department of Health and Human Services, is
publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public
comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding the
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including any of the following subjects: (1) the necessity and utility
of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of
the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Reconciliation of
State Invoice and Prior Quarter Adjustment Statement; Form No.: HCFA-
304A; Use: In response to a need for improved data exchange between
drug labelers and States, HCFA, in conjunction with outside
consultants, developed the Reconciliation of State Invoice (ROSI), form
HCFA-304, and the Prior Quarter Adjustment Statement (PQAS), form HCFA-
304A. The ROSI is to be used by Drug Labelers when responding to State
invoices of current quarter utilization data only and functions as a
reconciliation report to assure accurate rebate payments. The PQAS is
used by labelers to report only on prior quarter actions/payments.
Prior quarter activity includes changes to utilization data submitted
by States, revisions to previously disputed units, and prior period
adjustments (URA changes). Both forms assist in reducing disputes by
standardizing data exchange and improving communication between Drug
labelers and States. Frequency: Quarterly; Affected Public: Business or
other for-profit; Number of Respondents: 365; Total Annual Responses:
1,460; Total Annual Hours: 132,120.
