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-10464 Agent/Broker Data Collection in Federally Facilitated Health Insurance Exchanges 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. Title of Information Collection: Agent/Broker Data Collection in Federally Facilitated Health Insurance Exchanges; Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Use: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, Public Law 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010 (collectively, ``Affordable Care Act''), expands access to health insurance for individuals and employees of small businesses through the establishment of new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), also called Marketplaces, including the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). Revised requirements pertaining to agents/brokers completing Federally-facilitated Exchange (FFE) registration are discussed in the final rule published on February 27, 2015 for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2016 (CMS-9944-F). These updated requirements direct agents/brokers to submit additional fields related to basic contact information and National Producer Number (NPN). Current state licensure and relevant health lines of authority (LOA) are then validated using the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) database. This ICR serves as the formal request for renewal and also includes some of the information collection requirements from the previously approved final rule. Form Number: CMS-10464 (OMB control number: 0938-1204); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector (Business or other for-profits); Number of Respondents: 52,000; Number of Responses: 52,000; Total Annual Hours: 12,480.
