-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

the OMB desk officer by August 11, 2025.
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. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement without
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information
Collection: Notice of Research Exception under the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act; Use: Under the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), a plan or issuer may request (but
not require) a genetic test in connection with certain research
activities so long as such activities comply with specific
requirements, including: (i) the research complies with 45 CFR part 46
or equivalent Federal regulations and applicable State or local law or
regulations for the protection of human subjects in research; (ii) the
request for the participant or beneficiary (or in the case of a minor
child, the legal guardian of such beneficiary) is made in writing and
clearly indicates that compliance with the request is voluntary and
that non-compliance will have no effect on eligibility for benefits or
premium or contribution amounts; and (iii) no genetic information
collected or acquired will be used for underwriting purposes. The
Secretary of Labor or the Secretary of Health and Human Services is
required to be notified if a group health plan or health insurance
issuer intends to claim the research exception permitted under Title I
of GINA. Non-Federal governmental group health plans and issuers solely
in the individual health insurance market or Medigap market will be
required to file with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS). The Notice of Research Exception under the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act is a model notice that can be completed by group
health plans and health insurance issuers and filed with either the
Department of Labor or CMS to comply with the notification requirement.
No comments were received in response to the 60-day Notice. Form
Number: CMS-10286 (OMB control number: 0938-1077); Frequency: On
Occasion; Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents: 2; Total Annual Responses: 2; Total

contact Erik Gomez at 667-414-0682.)
2. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement without
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information
Collection: Student Health Insurance Coverage; Use: Under the Student
Health Insurance Coverage Final Rule published March 21, 2012 (77 FR
16453), student health insurance coverage is a type of individual
health insurance coverage provided pursuant to a written agreement
between an institution of higher education (as defined in the Higher
Education Act of 1965) and a health insurance issuer, and provided to
students who are enrolled in that institution and their dependents. The
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and
Payment Parameters for 2017 Final Rule provided that, for policy years
beginning on or after July 1, 2016, student health insurance coverage
is exempt from the actuarial value (AV) requirements under section
1302(d) of the Affordable Care Act, but must provide coverage with an
AV of at least 60 percent. This provision also requires issuers of
student health insurance coverage to specify in any plan materials
summarizing the terms of the coverage the AV of the coverage and the
metal level (or the next lowest metal level) the coverage would
otherwise satisfy under Sec. 156.140. This disclosure will provide
students with information that allows them to compare the student
health coverage with other available coverage options. NO comments were

control number: 0938-1157); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private

[[Page 30940]]
Information Collection: Payment Collections Operations Contingency
Plan: Enrollment and Payment Data Template; 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, the ``Affordable Care
Act'' (ACA)], provides for consumers to receive subsidies based on
income to purchase affordable health care on the Exchanges. The U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uses a manual process to
obtain enrollment and payment data from issuers in States transitioning
from Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs) and State-based Exchanges
on the Federal platform (SBE-FPs) to State-based Exchanges (SBEs) to
facilitate the payment of subsidies to issuers on behalf of eligible
enrollees. This document describes the data collection requirements
related to this manual process, known as the Enrollment and Payment
Data template. This extension reduces burden compared to the currently
approved collection based on recent program experience. Form Number:

Affected Public: Private Sector, Business or other for-profit and not-
for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 25; Number of

regarding this collection, contact Mohinee Mukherjee at 404-562-0151.)
