Emergency Clearance: Public
Information Collection Requirements
Submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB)
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the
PRA), federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information. Interested persons are
invited to send comments regarding our
burden estimates or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including
any of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
We are, however, requesting an
emergency review of the information
collection referenced below. In
compliance with the requirement of
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we have
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) the following
requirements for emergency review.
This is necessary to ensure compliance
with an initiative of the Administration.
We are requesting an emergency review
under 5 CFR Part 1320(a)(2)(i) because
public harm is reasonably likely to
result if the normal clearance
procedures are followed. We are seeking
emergency approval for modifications to
the information collection request (ICR)

currently approved under Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number 0938–1119 in order to
collection additional information during
the 2015 open enrollment periods from
the 14 operational SBMs (including
Washington, DC) to enhance the
agency’s understanding of the
demographic makeup of the citizens
enrolling in the various health plans as
well as the affordability of those plans.
Existing collections gather information
from the grant awardee to ensure the
CMS is able to conduct their statutory
oversight responsibilities. The revision
to the weekly reporting requirement is
necessary to obtain more accurate and
consistent enrollment data during the
upcoming Open Enrollment Period
which begins November 15, 2014. The
immediate need for this revision is due
to the State-Based Marketplaces (SBM)
maturing business processes and the
requirement for more precise reporting
of comparison data between the first
and second years of ACA
implementation. The changes to the
revised format of the Weekly Report
have been presented to all participating
states. CMS is requesting an emergency
modification to the weekly reporting
template in order to capture certain
demographic data and information on
new versus re-enrolled individuals in
accordance with uniform definitions so
as not to produce misleading results.
Comments must be received by
November 14, 2014.
DATES:
When commenting, please
reference the document identifier or
OMB control number. To be assured
consideration, comments and
recommendations must be submitted in
any one of the following ways:
1. Electronically. You may send your
comments electronically to https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for ‘‘Comment or
Submission’’ or ‘‘More Search Options’’
to find the information collection
document(s) that are accepting
comments.
2. By regular mail. You may mail
written comments to the following
address: CMS, Office of Strategic
Operations and Regulatory Affairs,
