SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Contents

    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-10637 Martketplace Operations

    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: New collection (Request 
for a new OMB control number); Title of Information Collection: 
Marketplace Operations; Use: On August 30, 2013, HHS published the 
final rule CMS-9957-F: Program Integrity: Exchanges, SHOP, Eligibility 
Appeals (Program Integrity final rule), finalizing a number of the 
provisions from the Program Integrity and E&E II Proposed Rules. The 
third party disclosure requirements and data collections in the Program 
Integrity final rule support the oversight of qualified health plan 
(QHP) issuers in Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs) and other 
provisions. OMB approved the associated information collection request 
under OMB control number 0938-1213 on November 21, 2013. The Program 
Integrity ICR was inclusive of many unrelated information collection 
requirements covered in the Program Integrity Final Rule. This proposed 
ICR serves as the formal request for a new stand-alone information 
collection request to cover existing Marketplace Operations 
requirements previously approved under OMB control number 0938-1213 
(Program Integrity and Additional State Information Collections). Form 
Number: CMS-10637 (OMB control number 0938-NEW). Frequency: Annually; 
Affected Public: Private Sector, State, Business, and Not-for Profits; 
Number of Respondents: 3,902; Number of Responses: 3,902; Total Annual 
Hours: 2,336,190. (For questions regarding this collection contact
