    This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated 
with the following information collections. More detailed information 
can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated 
materials (see ADDRESSES).

CMS-10371 Cooperative Agreements To Support Establishment of State-
Operated Health Insurance Exchanges

CMS-10507 State-Based Marketplace Annual Reporting Tool (SMART)

    Under the 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 requires federal agencies 
to publish a 60-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.

Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of an existing 
information collection requirement; Title of Information Collection: 
Cooperative Agreements to Support Establishment of State-Operated 
Health Insurance Exchanges; Use: All States (including the 50 States, 
consortia of States, and the District of Columbia herein referred to as 
States) had the opportunity under Section 1311(b) of the Affordable 
Care to apply for three types of grants: (1) Planning grants; (2) Early 
Innovator grants for early development of information technology; and 
(3) Establishment grants to develop, implement and start-up 
Marketplaces. As of January 1st, 2017, the Secretary has disbursed over 
$5.4 billion under this grant program and, as of that date, there were 
19 active establishment grants awarded to 12 states. As the State-Based 
Marketplaces (SBM) and Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) 
have matured and moved from the developmental phases to full-operation, 
the reporting requirements for the states have been modified and 
streamlined to insure only information necessary to provide effective 
oversight of their operations by CMS is collected.
    Given the innovative nature of Exchanges and the statutorily-
prescribed relationship between the Secretary and States in their 
development and operation, it is critical that the Secretary work 
closely with States to provide necessary guidance and technical 
assistance to ensure that States can meet the prescribed timelines, 
federal requirements, and goals of the statute and the grants awarded 
to them. Form Number: CMS-10371 (OMB Control Number: 0938-1119); 
Frequency: Once; Affected Public: State Government agencies, non-profit 
entities; Number of Respondents: 17; Number of Responses: 37; Total 
Annual Hours: 12,328. (For policy questions regarding this collection, 
contact Nickom Sukachevin at (301) 492-4400.)
    2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently 
approved information collection; Title of Information Collection: 
State-based Marketplace Annual Reporting Tool (SMART); Use: The annual 
report is the primary vehicle to insure comprehensive compliance with 
all reporting requirements contained in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). 
It is specifically called for in Section 1313(a)(1) of the Act which 
requires an SBM to keep an accurate accounting of all activities, 
receipts, and expenditures, and to submit a report annually to the 
Secretary concerning such accounting. CMS will use the information 
collected from States to assist in determining if a State is 
maintaining a compliant operational Exchange. Form Number: CMS-10507 
(OMB Control Number: 0938-1244); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: 
State, Local, or Tribal governments; Number of Respondents: 17; Number 
of Responses: 17; Total Annual Hours: 1,173. (For policy questions 
regarding this collection, contact Christy Woods at 301-492-4453.)
