Act of 1995 (PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in 
the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of 
information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an 
existing collection of information, and to allow a second opportunity 
for public comment on the notice. 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: The 
necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the 
proper performance of the agency's functions; the accuracy of the 
estimated burden; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the 
information collection burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. The term ``collection of 
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 
includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public 
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. 
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires 
Federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each 
proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of 
information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that 
summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for 
public comment:
    1. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection of 
information; Title of Information Collection: Establishment of 
Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers; 
Use: Section 1321(a) requires HHS to issue regulations setting 
standards for meeting the requirements under Title I of the Affordable 
Care Act including the offering of qualified health plans through the 
Marketplaces. On March 27, 2012, HHS published the rule CMS-9989-F: 
Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange 
Standards for Employers. The Exchange rule contains provisions that 
mandate reporting and data collections necessary to ensure that health 
insurance issuers are meeting the requirements of the Affordable Care 
Act. These information collection requirements are set forth in 45 CFR 
part 156. The data collection and reporting requirements will assist 
HHS in creating a seamless and coordinated system of eligibility and 
enrollment. The data collected by health insurance issuers will help to 
inform HHS, Marketplaces, and health insurance issuers as to the 
participation of individuals, employers, and employees in the 
individual Exchange. Form Number: CMS-10592 (OMB control number: 0938-
NEW); Frequency: Annually, Monthly, Occasionally; Affected Public: 
Private Sector; Business or other for-profit; Number of Respondents: 
1,200; Total Annual Responses: 1,200; Total Annual Hours: 590,460. (For 
policy questions regarding this collection contact Beth Liu at 301-492-
4135.)
