Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health and Human
Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is
announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention
to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction
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 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.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by
the OMB desk officer by April 25, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Parham at (410) 786-4669.
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: Revision of an existing
information collection request; Title of Information Collection:
Cooperative Agreements to Support Establishment of State-Operated
Health Insurance Exchanges; Use: Section 1311(b) of the Affordable Care
Act provides the opportunity for each State to establish an Exchange
(now referred to as an Exchange). Section 1311 of the Affordable Care
Act provides for grants to States for the planning and establishment of
these Exchanges. 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
[[Page 16741]]
requirements, and goals of the statute. Additionally, under 42 CFR
155.1200(b) State Exchanges are required to provide performance
monitoring data to CMS. State Exchanges must provide this data at least
annually and, in the manner, format, and deadlines specified by HHS.
The information collection requirements associated with these ICRs will
primarily involve programmatic narrative, accompanying budget narrative
and appropriate supporting documentation, and provision of performance
outcome and operational data by grantees operating their Exchanges. The
SBEs are not required to track or submit any personally identifiable
data. It is expected that States will create data with readily
available word processing and spreadsheet programs relying on source
data from information systems developed from grant funding, ACA section
1332 pass-through funding, or state funding sources and submit such
information electronically. Form Number: CMS-10371 (OMB control number:
0938-1119); Frequency: Once; Affected Public: State Government
agencies, non-profit entities; Number of Respondents: 75; Number of
Responses: 273; Total Annual Hours: 2,451. For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Jenny Chen at (301) 492-5156 or
Shilpa Gogna at (301) 492-4257.
Dated: March 21, 2022.
William N. Parham, III,
Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and
Regulatory Affairs.
