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 October 30, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed

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. Title of Information Collection: Program Integrity II; Type of
Information Collection Request: Extension without change of a currently
approved collection; Use: On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA; Pub. L. 111-148) was signed into law and on
March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010 (Pub. L. 111-152) was signed into law. The two laws implement
various health insurance policies. On June 19, 2013, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) published proposed rule CMS-9957-P:

among other things, contained third party disclosure requirements and
data collections that supported the oversight of premium stabilization

Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs). Parts of the proposed rule were
finalized as Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Program
Integrity: Exchange, Premium Stabilization Programs, and Market
Standards; Amendments to the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment
Parameters for 2014; Final Rule (Program Integrity Final Rule II), 78
FR 25326 (October 24, 2013). This information collection request
relates to a portion of the information collection requirements set
forth in the final rule. Form Number: CMS-10516 (OMB control number:
0938-1277); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector,
State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Business or other for-profits, and
