technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of
operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide

Title: Advance Notice of Rescission of Health Coverage.
OMB Number: 1545-2180.
Document Number(s): TD 9744.
Abstract: The final regulations require group health plans and
health insurance issuers to provide at least 30 days advance written
notice before rescinding an individual's health coverage, except in
cases involving fraud or an intentional misrepresentation of material
fact. This notice gives affected individuals time to understand the
proposed rescission, seek replacement coverage if necessary, and pursue
any available appeal or other remedies.
Current Actions: There are no changes to the information
collection. Adjustments to the burden estimates result from updated
estimates on the average number of participants in small plans, an
increase in the share of notices assumed to be transmitted
electronically, correction to the number of respondents and responses
to indicate the burden split equally with the Department of Labor and
increases in wage and postage rates. As a result, the number of
respondents decreased by 50, the number of responses decreased by 833,
and the total annual hour burden decreased by 3 hours compared with the
previous submission.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations,
individuals, not-for-profit institutions, farms, and Federal, state,
local or tribal governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
Estimated Number of Responses: 700.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 20 min.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 17.
Dated: September 1, 2026.

Tax Analyst.
