Short Statement: We propose to revise the notice and accompanying instructions to enhance the clarity and accuracy of the notice and instructions. We also propose to add language that informs beneficiaries of their rights under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), by alerting the beneficiary to CMS’s nondiscrimination practices and the availability of alternate forms of this notice, if needed. The annual hourly burden associated with this collection is estimated to be 668,066 hours. The annual hourly burden in the 2014 PRA submission for this collection was 626,749 hours. The 41,317 hour increase in burden is an adjustment that is based on the increased number of applicable pharmacies (+6,000 pharmacies) and the increased number of standardized pharmacy notices (+2,479,760 notices) that are likely to be distributed based on CY 2016 prescription drug event data. Reconciling the burden increase: 41,313 hr = 2,479,760 x 0.01666. We attribute the 4 hour difference (41,317 hr – 41,313 hr) to 1 min/response rounding differences (when converted to hours) between this 2017 iteration and the currently approved 2014 iteration. We are also adjusting our cost estimates based on current BLS wage data for pharmacy technicians. In this iteration we are doubling that wage to account for burden and overhead.
