substitute for a number of
chlorofluorocarbon solvents which were
withdrawn from use because of their
possible damaging effects to the ozone
layer. 3-Bromopropionic acid is a
human metabolite of 1-bromopropane
and a proposed biomarker of exposure.
An accurate and precise method was
developed for the detection and
quantitation of 3-bromopropionic acid
in human urine. This method was
published in the literature (B’Hymer CB,
Cheever KL [2004]. J Chromatogr B
802:361–366). The method was
validated by a second laboratory and is
proposed for inclusion in NMAM’s 5th
Edition.

148 (ACA). Once all of the information
is collected from insurance issuers of
major medical health insurance (hereon

ID and password validation. The states
may be asked to provide information on
issuers in their state and various Web
sites maintained for consumers. The

information on their major medical
insurance products and plans. They will
ultimately be given the choice to
download a basic information template

portal; to manually enter data within the
web portal itself; or to submit .xml files

3. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title: Health Care Reform Insurance Web Portal
Requirements; Use: This information collection is mandated by Sections
1103 and 10102 of the Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act,
Public Law 111-148 (ACA). Once all of the information is collected from
insurance issuers of major medical health insurance (hereon referred to
as issuers) and other affected parties, it will be displayed at https://www.healthcare.gov. Issuers are required to provide information
quarterly, and healthcare.gov will be updated on a periodic schedule
during each quarter. The information provided will help the general
public make educated decisions about organizations providing private
health care insurance. We are currently updating a system (hereon
referred to as web portal) where state Departments of Insurance and
issuers may log in using a custom user ID and password validation. The
states may be asked to provide information on issuers in their state
and various Web sites maintained for consumers. The issuers will be
tasked with providing information on their major medical insurance
products and plans. They will ultimately be given the choice to
download a basic information template to enter data then upload into
the web portal; to manually enter data within the web portal itself; or
to submit .xml files containing their information. Once the states and
issuers submit their data, they
[[Page 20211]]
will receive an email notifying them of any errors, and that their
submission was received. We are both mandating the issuers verify and
update their information on a quarterly basis and requesting that
States verify State-submitted information on an annual basis. In the
event that an issuer enhances its existing plans, proposes new plans,
or deactivates plans, the organization would be required to update the
information in the web portal. Changes occurring during the three month
quarterly periods will be allowed utilizing effective dates for both
the plans and rates associated with the plans. Form Number: CMS-10320
