SUMMARY: [FR Doc. 2010–27412 Filed 10–28–10; 8:45 am] Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, HHS. In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is publishing the following summary of proposed AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. 1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan Program Solicitation and Contractor’s Proposal Package; Use: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting a renewal of this package by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB); specifically, HHS is now seeking a three-year approval for this collection. On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act), Public Law 111– 148. Section 1101 of the law establishes a ‘‘temporary high risk health insurance pool program’’ (which has been named the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, or PCIP) to provide health insurance coverage to currently uninsured individuals with pre-existing conditions. The law authorizes HHS to carry out the program directly or through contracts with States or private, non-profit entities. This package renewal is requested as a result of a possible transition in administration of the program from a Federally-run to a State administered program. A State who originally decided to have HHS administer the program in their State may in the future notify HHS of their desire to administer the PreExisting Condition Plan (PCIP) program. PCIP is also referred to as the temporary qualified high risk insurance pool program, as it is called in the Affordable Care Act, but we have adopted the term PCIP to better describe the program and avoid confusion with the existing State high risk pool programs. Form Number: CMS–10319 (OMB#: 0938–1085); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: State governments; Number of Respondents: 2; Total Annual Responses: 2; Total Annual Hours: 2,992.

Frequency of Response: The help desk and Web site survey are collected annually. The OPEN survey is ongoing. The form submissions vary depending on the purpose of the form and the activity of the local site.

The annualized burden is estimated to be 34,802 hours and the annualized cost to respondents is estimated to be $946, 601.
