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: Generic Clearance for 
Evaluation of Stakeholder Training--Health Insurance Marketplace and 
Market Stabilization Programs; Use: CMS is strongly committed to 
providing appropriate education and technical outreach to States, 
issuers, self-insured group health plans and third-party administrators 
(TPA) participating in the Marketplace and/or market stabilization 
programs mandated by the ACA. CMS continues to engage with stakeholders 
in the Marketplace to obtain input through Satisfaction Surveys 
following Stakeholder Training events. The survey results will help to 
determine stakeholders' level of satisfaction with trainings, identify 
any issues with training and technical assistance delivery, clarify 
stakeholders' needs and preferences, and define best practices for 
training and technical assistance. Forms being utilized for the 2017 
Stakeholder Events have already been developed. CMS will continue to 
modify, enhance and develop forms for future years based on feedback 
from Stakeholders. Form Number: CMS-10598 (OMB control number: 0938-
NEW); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Private Sector; Number 
of Respondents: 32,912; Number of Responses: 32,912; Total Annual

    2. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection (Request

Healthcare.gov Site Wide Online Survey; Use: The purpose of the survey 
is to gain an understanding of user experience, comprehension, and 
satisfaction with using the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace Web 
site established by the Affordable Care Act. The Marketplace provides 
coverage to uninsured Americans, as well as those already enrolled in 
Marketplace health insurance. One of the ways to purchase Marketplace 
insurance is through the online tools on HealthCare.gov. We have 
developed a survey to be administered to consumers while they are using 
the Web site. This survey is part of a continuing data collection 
program mandated by the ACA. It is designed to support the program goal 
to provide tools and information to help consumers to successfully find 
health insurance that they may not otherwise qualify for or find. 
Monitoring usability and the user experience through this ongoing 
survey provides the Web site developers with valuable information for 
use in continuous improvement of the Web site. The Web site survey is 
part of a larger research program to inform the development and 
enhancement of web tools for CMS programs such as the Health Insurance 
Marketplace. Form Number: CMS-10597 (OMB control number: 0938-New); 
Frequency: Weekly, Monthly, Occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals 
or Households; Number of Respondents: 14,000; Total Annual Responses: 
14,000; Total Annual Hours: 933. (For policy questions regarding this 
collection contact Frank Funderburk at 410-786-1820.)
