1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement of a previously
approved collection; Title: Information
Collection Requirements for Compliance
with Individual and Group Market
Reforms under Title XXVII of the Public
Health Service Act; Use: The provisions
of title XXVII of the Public Health
Service Act (PHS Act) are designed to
make it easier for people to get access
to health care coverage and to reduce
the limitations that can be put on the
coverage. Sections 2723 and 2761 of the
PHS Act direct CMS to enforce a
provision (or provisions) of title XXVII
of the PHS Act with respect to health
insurance issuers when a state has
notified CMS that it has not enacted
legislation to enforce or that it is not
otherwise enforcing a provision (or
provisions) of the individual and group
market reforms with respect to health
insurance issuers, or when CMS has
determined that a state is not
substantially enforcing one or more of
those provisions. This collection also
pertains to notices issued by individual
and group health insurance issuers and
self-funded non-Federal governmental
plans. This collection includes the
issuance of certificates of creditable
coverage; notification of preexisting
condition exclusions; notification of
special enrollment rights; and review of
issuers’ filings of individual and group
market products or similar Federal
review in cases in which a state is not
enforcing a title XXVII individual or
group market provision. This
information collection is a reinstatement
of a previously approved collection
(which expired on September 30, 2012
(OMB#: 0938–0702 and OMB#: 0938–
0703)) with minimal changes to reflect
