Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 33257-33258 [2016-12085]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 25, 2016 / Notices above-noted motor vehicle dealers. This resulted in an estimate of 248 motor vehicle dealers subject to the FTC’s jurisdiction. After deducting the latter figure from the total of 750 respondents, 502 respondents were left to divide 50:50 between the agencies. With rounding, the FTC apportioned 251 of those respondents to its burden estimates; adding to that the estimated total of 248 motor vehicle dealers resulted in 499 respondents for the FTC. B. FTC Share of Burden Hours: 998 Hours Staff assumed that respondents will each spend approximately 2 hours to monitor compliance with the Rule. Thus, 499 respondents for the FTC multiplied by the two hour estimate per respondent resulted in 998 burden hours apportioned to the FTC. C. FTC Share of Labor Costs: $249,500 Staff assumed that in-house legal counsel for respondents would handle most of the compliance review, and at an estimated average hourly wage of $250 per hour. D. Capital/Non-Labor Costs: $0 Assumption: Capital and other nonlabor costs should be minimal, at most, since the Rule has been in effect several years, with covered entities now equipped to provide the required notice. Based on staff’s review of industry data and its experience in this area, we have no information to suggest that these figures are not still valid.

ACTION: Notice of Class Deviation from Competition Requirements for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C HIV Early Intervention Services Program Existing Geographic Service Area (EISEGA). AGENCY: The HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) is requesting a class deviation from the competition requirements in order to provide one-year extensions with funds to 346 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C HIV Early Intervention Services Program Existing Geographic Service Area (EISEGA) recipients. The purpose of the Part C EISEGA program is to provide HIV primary care in the outpatient setting to targeted low income, underinsured people living with HIV. HAB is finalizing an evaluation of the Part C EISEGA program and development of a new data-driven methodology. This methodology is aimed at ensuring that awards are based on a consistent approach to promote a rational and sustainable allocation of resources while ensuring responsiveness to geographic and healthcare financing considerations, indicators of need, and results along the HIV care continuum. HAB expects to recompete the entire program in fiscal year (FY) 2018. One-year extensions with funds for all 346 Part C EISEGA recipients enables HAB to finalize the evaluation and methodology development and engage recipients and relevant stakeholders with regard to this new approach prior to implementation and without disrupting the provision of critical HIV primary medical care services to the current RWHAP clients served by these recipients.

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

includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public 
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.

federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each

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 currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Annual Medical

Use: Under section 2718 of the Affordable Care Act and implementing 
regulation at 45 CFR part 158, a health insurance issuer (issuer) 
offering group or individual health insurance coverage must submit a 
report to the Secretary concerning the amount the issuer spends each 
year on claims, quality improvement expenses, non-claims costs, Federal 
and State taxes and licensing and regulatory fees, the amount of earned 
premium, and beginning with the 2014 reporting year, the amounts 
related to the reinsurance, risk corridors, and risk adjustment 
programs established under sections 1341, 1342, and 1343, respectively, 
of the Affordable Care Act. An issuer must provide an annual rebate if 
the amount it spends on certain costs compared to its premium revenue 
(excluding Federal and States taxes and licensing and regulatory fees) 
does not meet a certain ratio, referred to as the medical loss ratio 
(MLR). Each issuer is required to submit annually MLR data, including 
information about any rebates it must provide, on a form prescribed by 
CMS, for each State in which the issuer conducts business. Each issuer 
is also required to provide a rebate notice to each policyholder that 
is owed a rebate and each subscriber of policyholders that are owed a 
rebate for any given MLR reporting year. Additionally, each issuer is 
required to maintain for a period of seven years all documents, records 
and other evidence that support the data included in each issuer's 
annual report to the Secretary.
    Under section 1342 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care 
Act and implementing regulation at 45 CFR part 153, issuers of 
qualified health plans (QHPs) must participate in a risk corridors 
program. A QHP issuer will pay risk corridors charges or be eligible to 
receive payments based on the ratio of the issuer's allowable costs to 
the target amount. Each QHP issuer is required to submit an annual 
report to CMS concerning the issuer's allowable costs, allowable 
administrative costs, premium, and proportion of market premium in 
QHPs. Risk corridors premium information that is specific to an 
issuer's QHPs is collected through a separate plan-level data form, 
which is included in this information collection.
    CMS received a total of 3 public comments on a number of specific 
issues regarding the notice of the revised MLR PRA package. CMS has 
taken into consideration all of the comments and has modified the 
information collection instruments and instructions (the 2015 MLR 
Annual Reporting Form and Instructions and the 2015 Risk Corridors 
Plan-Level Data Form and Instructions) in order to correct minor errors 
and to provide additional clarifications. Form Number: CMS-10418 (OMB
