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.

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 a previously
approved information collection; Title of Information Collection:
Annual Notice of Chance and Evidence of Coverage for Applicable
Integrated Plans in States that Require Integrated Materials; Use: CMS
requires AIPs to use the approved standardized documents to ensure that
correct information is disclosed to current and potential enrollees.
Additionally, CMS requires AIPs to submit the completed ANOC and EOC
documents to CMS. CMS stores the completed templates. New and current
enrollees can review the ANOC and EOC upon receipt to find plan
benefits, premiums and cost sharing for the coming year to be in a
better position to make informed and educated plan selections. CMS does
not require new and current enrollees to review the documents or use
them in any way.
MA organizations with AIPs in States that require these integrated
documents upload ANOC and EOC documents into the Health Plan Management
System (HPMS) to ensure accuracy and regulatory compliance. Section
422.111(h)(2)(ii) requires that, the ANOC/EOC be available on the
website and 422.111(d)(2) requires that the plan send the ANOC to the
enrollee in hard copy format, upon request. Section 423.128(d)(2)
requires that Part D sponsors post the ANOC and EOC documents on their
website and send the ANOC only to enrollees electronically or in hard
copy. Form Number: CMS-10824 (OMB control number: 0938-New); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector; Businesses or other for-
profits; Number of Respondents: 47; Total Annual Responses: 47; Total
Annual Hours: 564. (For policy questions regarding this collection
