SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
CMS–10486 Health Care Sharing
Ministries Information Collection
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520),
federal agencies must obtain approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.

Sharing Ministries Information
Collection; Use: In order to facilitate the
provision of an exemption for
membership in a health care sharing
ministry to the members of such
ministry, we specify in § 155.615(c)(2)
that an organization that believes that it
meets the statutory standards to be
considered a health care sharing
ministry will submit certain information
to HHS. We are aware of four
organizations that have made public
statements regarding their status as a
health care sharing ministry, and so
have estimated burden for four entities.
The burden associated with this process
includes the time for the organization to
collect and input the necessary
information, maintain a copy for
recordkeeping by clerical staff, for a
manager and legal counsel to review it
and for a senior executive to review and
sign it. The information would be
submitted to CMS electronically at
minimal cost. Form Number: CMS–
10486 (OCN: 0938–NEW); Frequency:
Once, Yearly; Affected Public: Private
sector—not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 4; Number of
Responses: 4; Total Annual Hours: 4.25.

collection contact Zach Baron at 301–
