#  Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request

**ACTION:**

Notice; partial withdrawal.

**SUMMARY:**

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.

Dated: November 21, 2018.

Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and Regulatory Affairs.
