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 currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Cost-sharing Reduction Reconciliation Data Template; Use: Under established Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations, although payments are not being advanced to qualified health plan (QHP) issuers at the present time, issuers are still permitted to submit data that compares the CSR-eligible enrollment for each issuer with their actual cost sharing reductions made by the issuer for medical services for each eligible enrollee in a benefit year. HHS will compare this CSR-eligible enrollment with the actual cost sharing reductions provided by the issuers that participate in the optional data submission window to verify the issuer's reporting of cost-sharing reductions provided. This revised collection does not add any data elements, and continues to make optional summary plan level reporting. Form Number: CMS-10526 (OMB control number: 0938-1266); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector: Not-for-profits; Number of Respondents: 150; Total Annual Responses: 150; Total Annual Hours: 2,250. For policy questions regarding this collection contact Alper Ozinal 301-492-4178.
