3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Cooperative
Agreement to Support Establishment of
State-Operated Health Insurance
Exchanges; Use: All States and
Territories (including the 50 States,
consortia of States, and the District of
Columbia, herein referred to as States)
that received a State Planning and
Establishment Grant for Affordable Care
Act’s Exchanges are eligible for the
Cooperative Agreement to Support
Establishment of State Operated
Insurance Exchanges. The State of
Alaska did not apply for either the
original Planning grant made available
in September 2010, or the second
Planning grant made available in
January 2011 exclusively to States that
did not apply for the first. The
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands did not apply for the Territory
Cooperative Agreements for the
Affordable Care Act’s Exchanges made
available in January 2011. Because
Alaska and the Northern Mariana
Islands did not receive funding under
Section 1311 for planning and
establishment of an Exchange within
one year of the enactment of the
Affordable Care Act, by Statute, they
will not be eligible for Section 1311
Exchange planning and establishment
money in the future. Section 1311(b) of
the Affordable Care Act provides the
opportunity for each State to establish
an Exchange no later than January 1,
2014. Section 1311 of the Affordable
Care Act provides for grants to States for
the planning and establishment of these
Exchanges. Given the innovative nature
of Exchanges and the statutorilyprescribed relationship between the
Secretary and States in their
development and operation, it is critical
that the Secretary work closely with
States to provide necessary guidance
and technical assistance to ensure that
States can meet the prescribed
timelines, Federal requirements, and
goals of the statute.
In order to provide appropriate and
timely guidance and technical
assistance, the Secretary must have
access to timely, periodic information
regarding State progress. Consequently,
the information collection associated
with these grants is essential to
facilitating reasonable and appropriate

Federal monitoring of funds, providing
statutorily-mandated assistance to States
to implement Exchanges in accordance
with Federal requirements, and to
ensure that States have all necessary
information required to proceed, such
that retrospective corrective action can
be minimized.
There are two levels of awards for
States to apply for the Establishment
grants. Each level is based on grantee
readiness. Level One Establishment
grants are open to States that received
Federal funding for Exchange Planning
activities and awardees of the
Cooperative Agreements to Support
Innovative Exchange Information
Technology Systems. Level One
Establishment cooperative agreements
provide one year of funding to States
that are ready to initiate establishment
activities having made progress under
their Exchange Planning grant. Level
Two Establishment cooperative
agreements are open to States that
received Federal funding for Exchange
Planning activities and awardees of the
Cooperative Agreements to Support
Innovative Exchange Information
Technology Systems. Level Two
Establishment grants are designed to
provide funding to applicants who have
made significant progress in meeting
specific benchmarks in the Exchange
establishment process. Level One
Establishment grantees may apply for
additional funding under Level Two
Establishment grants once they have
achieved the benchmarks identified in
the Level Two Establishment review
criteria. The Period of Performance for
Level One Establishment grants is one
year after date of award. The Period of
Performance for Level Two
Establishment grants is through
December 31, 2014. This funding
opportunity was released to forty-nine
States and the District of Columbia on
January 20, 2011. HHS anticipates
making this funding opportunity
available to four Territories on August
31, 2011. Form Number: CMS–10371
