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: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Summary of
Benefits and Coverage and Uniform Glossary; Use: This information
collection will ensure that over 30 million consumers shopping for or
enrolled in private, individually purchased, or non-federal
governmental group health plan coverage receive the consumer
protections of the Affordable Care Act. Employers, employees, and
individuals will use this information to compare coverage options prior
to selecting coverage and to understand the terms of, and extent of
medical benefits offered by, their coverage (or exceptions to such
coverage or benefits) once they have coverage. Form Number: CMS-10407
(OMB control number 0938-1146); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public:
Private Sector--Business or other for-profits and not-for-profit
institutions; Number of Respondents: 90,805; Number of Responses:
10,507,165; Total Annual Hours: 204,140. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Daniel Kidane at
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b5d1d4dbdcd0d99bdedcd1d4dbd0f5d6d8c69bddddc69bd2dac3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0266636c6b676e2c696b66636c6742616f712c6a6a712c656d74">[email protected]</span></a>.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title: Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the
Elderly (PACE); Use: PACE is a pre-paid, capitated plan that provides
comprehensive health care services to frail, older adults in the
community, who are eligible for nursing home care according to state
standards. PACE programs must provide all Medicare and Medicaid covered
services; financing of this model is accomplished through prospective
capitation of both Medicare and Medicaid payments. Upon approval of a
PACE application, CMS executes a three-way program agreement with the
applicant entity and the applicable state. With certain exceptions,
this information collection addresses all operational components of the
PACE program, as defined in 42 CFR part 460. Form Number: CMS-R-244
(OMB control number: 0938-0790); Frequency: Once and occasionally;
Affected Public: Private sector (business or other for profits and not-
for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 179; Total Annual
Responses: 121,407; Total Annual Hours: 97,069. (For policy questions
