In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) is establishing a new system of records (SOR) titled the ``Health Insurance Assistance Database (HIAD),'' System No. 09-70-0586. This SOR is established under the authority of Sections 2719, 2723, and 2761 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (Public Law (Pub. L.) 97-35) and Sec. 1321(c) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) (Pub. L. 111-148). Section 1321(c) of the Affordable Care Act authorizes HHS (1) to ensure that States with Exchanges are substantially enforcing the Federal standards to be set for the Exchanges and (2) to set up Exchanges in States that elect not to do so or are not substantially enforcing related provisions. Sections 2723 and 2761 of the PHS Act authorize HHS to enforce provisions that apply to non-Federal governmental plans and to enforce PHS Act provisions that apply to other health insurance coverage in States that HHS has determined are not substantially enforcing those provisions. The HIAD database will be maintained by the Office of Consumer Support Health Insurance Assistance Team (the Team) to assist the Office of Oversight with its compliance activities. HIAD is the primary tool through which the Team will track information for the purposes of oversight. The primary purpose of this system is to collect and maintain information on consumer inquiries and complaints regarding insurance issuers that will permit CCIIO to exercise its direct enforcement authority over non-Federal governmental health plans, investigate any inquiries or complaints from enrollees of those plans, to determine which States may not be substantially enforcing the Affordable Care Act and PHS Act provisions and to determine whether complaints that indicate possible noncompliance with Federal law are resolved by the plans. In addition, information maintained will enable CCIIO to develop aggregate reports that will inform CMS and HHS about compliance issues. Information in this system will also be disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory and programmatic activities such as investigations and reporting activities performed by an Agency contractor, consultants, CMS grantees, student volunteers, interns and other workers who do not have the status of Federal employees; (2) assist another Federal and/or State agency, agency of a State government, or an agency established by State law; (3) support litigation involving the Agency; (4) combat fraud, waste, and abuse in certain health benefits programs, and (5) assist in a response to a suspected or confirmed breach of the security or confidentiality of information. We have provided background information about this new system in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that CMS provide an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the proposed routine uses, CMS invites comments on all portions of this notice. See ``Effective Dates'' section for information about the comment period.
