6. What kinds of non-profit entities
currently exist in the marketplace that
could potentially fulfill the role of an
‘‘applicable reinsurance entity’’ as
defined in the Act?
7. What methods are typically used to
determine which individuals are
deemed high-risk or high cost for the
purposes of reinsurance?
8. What challenges are States likely to
face in implementing the temporary
reinsurance program?
9. How do other programs (e.g.,
Medicaid) use risk corridors to share
profits and losses with health plans or
other entities? How are the corridors
defined and monitored under these
programs? What mechanisms are used
to collect and disburse payments?
10. Are there non-Federal instances in
which reinsurance and/or risk corridors
and/or risk adjustment were used
together? What kinds of special
considerations are important when
implementing multiple risk selection
mitigation strategies at once?

M. Comments Regarding Economic
Analysis, Paperwork Reduction Act, and
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Executive Order 12866 requires an
assessment of the anticipated costs and
benefits of a significant rulemaking
action and the alternatives considered,
using the guidance provided by the
Office of Management and Budget.
These costs and benefits are not limited
to the Federal government, but pertain
to the affected public as a whole. Under
Executive Order 12866, a determination
must be made whether implementation
of the Exchange-related provisions in
Title I of the Affordable Care Act will be
economically significant. A rule that has
an annual effect on the economy of $100
million or more is considered
economically significant.
In addition, the Regulatory Flexibility
Act may require the preparation of an
analysis of the economic impact on
small entities of proposed rules and
regulatory alternatives. An analysis
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
must generally include, among other
things, an estimate of the number of
small entities subject to the regulations
(for this purpose, plans, employers, and
in some contexts small governmental
entities), the expense of the reporting,
recordkeeping, and other compliance
requirements (including the expense of
using professional expertise), and a
description of any significant regulatory
alternatives considered that would
accomplish the stated objectives of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
statute and minimize the impact on
small entities.
The Paperwork Reduction Act
requires an estimate of how many
‘‘respondents’’ will be required to
comply with any ‘‘collection of
information’’ requirements contained in
regulations and how much time and
cost will be incurred as a result. A
collection of information includes
recordkeeping, reporting to
governmental agencies, and third-party
disclosures.
Furthermore, Section 202 of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA) requires that agencies assess
anticipated costs and benefits and take
certain other actions before issuing a
final rule that includes any Federal
mandate that may result in expenditure
in any one year by State, local, or tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $135 million.
The Department is requesting
comments that may contribute to the
analyses that will be performed under
these requirements, both generally and
with respect to the following specific
areas:
1. What policies, procedures, or
practices of plans, employers and States
may be impacted by the Exchangerelated provisions in Title I of the
Affordable Care Act?
a. What direct or indirect costs and
benefits would result?
b. Which stakeholders will be affected
by such benefits and costs?
c. Are these impacts likely to vary by
insurance market, plan type, or
geographic area?
2. Are there unique effects for small
entities subject to the Exchange-related
provisions in Title I of the Affordable
Care Act?
3. Are there unique benefits and costs
affecting consumers? How will these
consumer benefits be affected by States’
Exchange design and flexibilities and
the magnitude and substance of
provisions mandated by the Act? Please
discuss tangible and intangible benefits.
4. Are there paperwork burdens
related to the Exchange-related
provisions in Title I of the Affordable
Care Act, and, if so, what estimated
hours and costs are associated with
those additional burdens?
N. Comments Regarding Exchange
Operations
The Exchange-related provisions in
Title I of the Affordable Care Act may
affect/will involve various stakeholders.

II. Committee Background
These two statutorily-mandated
committees advise PHMSA on proposed
safety standards, risk assessments, and
safety policies for natural gas pipelines
and for hazardous liquid pipelines. Both
committees fall under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–
463, 5 U.S.C. App. 1) and both are
mandated by the pipeline safety law (49
U.S.C. Chap. 601). Each committee
consists of 15 members—with
membership evenly divided among the
Federal and State Government, the
regulated industry, and the public. The
committees advise PHMSA on technical
feasibility, practicability, and costeffectiveness of each proposed pipeline
safety standard.
