Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request

On October 1, 2018 (83 FR 49389), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a notice entitled, ``Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request.'' That notice invited public comments on three separate information collection requests specific to document identifiers: CMS- 10142, CMS-R-262, and CMS-179. Due to technical difficulties associated with CMS-179 (OMB control number: 0938-0193) titled ``Medicaid State Plan Base Plan Pages,'' through the publication of this document we are withdrawing CMS-179 from our October 1, 2018, information collection request. While the technical issues associated with CMS-179 have recently been resolved, because of the delay we are publishing a new 60-day information collection request elsewhere in today's Federal Register. The November 30, 2018, comment due date for the remaining two collections [CMS-10142 (OMB control number: 0938-0944) titled, ``Bid Pricing Tool (BPT) for Medicare Advantage (MA) Plans and Prescription Drug Plans (PDP)'' and CMS-R-262 (OMB control number: 0938-0763), titled ``Contract Year 2020 Plan Benefit Package (PBP) Software and Formulary Submission''] remains in effect without change.
