asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
amended by section 369 of the DoddFrank Act.
The obligation to file the forms with
the Board is mandatory for those
financial institutions for which the
Board serves as the ARA, and the filing
of both forms is event generated.
The data collected on Forms MSD–4
and MSD–5 is compiled in a ‘‘system of
records’’ within the meaning of the
Privacy Act. 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(5). In
1977, the Board formally designated a
system of records for Forms MSD–4 and
MSD–5. See 4 Fed. Res. Reg. Service
¶ 8–350 (42 FR 16,854 (Mar. 30,
1977)).13 The Privacy Act prohibits the
Board from disclosing the information
collected on the forms unless certain
exceptions apply that would permit
disclosure. 5 U.S.C. 552a(b).
Abstract: These mandatory
information collections are submitted
on occasion by state member banks
(SMBs), bank holding companies
(BHCs), savings and loan holding
companies (‘‘SLHCs’’), and foreign
dealer banks that are municipal
securities dealers.14 The Form MSD–4
collects information (such as personal
history and professional qualifications)
on an employee whom the bank wishes
to assume the duties of municipal
securities principal or representative.
The Form MSD–5 collects the date of,
and reason for, termination of such an
employee.
On August 4, 2014, the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB)
(MSRB Notice 2014–13) announced the
creation of a new designation of
registered person—Limited
Representative—Investment Company
and Variable Contracts Products—which
is a sub-category of Municipal Securities
Representative.15 To conform to MSRB
Notice 2011–54, the Board staff
proposes to make a minor revision to
the Form MSD–4 to add the Limited
Representative—Investment Company
and Variable Contracts Products as a
new type of qualification. The Board
staff also proposes to require electronic
submission of both the Form MSD–4
and Form MSD–5 to a secure Federal
Reserve Board email address.
13 In 2008, the Board updated all of the Board’s
existing systems of records, including the system of
records for Forms MSD–4 and MSD–5 (BGFRS–17).
See 73 FR 24,984, 24,999 (May 6, 2008).
14 At this time, there are no SLHCs or foreign
dealer banks that are registered as municipal
securities dealers.

concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Enrollment
Opportunity Notice Relating to Lifetime
Limits; Required Notice of Rescission of
Coverage; and Disclosure Requirements
for Patient Protection Under the
Affordable Care Act; Use: Section 1251
of the Affordable Care Act provides that
certain plans and health insurance
coverage in existence as of March 23,
2010, known as grandfathered health
plans, are not required to comply with
certain statutory provisions in the Act.
The final regulations titled ‘‘Final Rules
Under the Affordable Care Act for
Grandfathered Plans, Preexisting
Condition Exclusions, Lifetime and
Annual Limits, Rescissions, Dependent
Coverage, Appeals, and Patient
Protections’’ require that, to maintain its
status as a grandfathered health plan, a
plan must maintain records
documenting the terms of the plan in
effect on March 23, 2010, and any other
documents that are necessary to verify,

explain or clarify status as a
grandfathered health plan. The plan
must make such records available for
examination upon request by
participants, beneficiaries, individual
policy subscribers, or a State or Federal
agency official. A grandfathered health
plan is also required to include a
statement in any summary of benefits
under the plan or health insurance
coverage, that the plan or coverage
believes it is a grandfathered health plan
within the meaning of section 1251 of
the Affordable Care Act, and providing
contact information for participants to
direct questions and complaints. In
addition, a grandfathered group health
plan that is changing health insurance
issuers is required to provide the
succeeding health insurance issuer (and
the succeeding health insurance issuer
must require) documentation of plan
terms (including benefits, cost sharing,
employer contributions, and annual
limits) under the prior health insurance
coverage sufficient to make a
determination whether the standards of
paragraph (g)(1) of the interim final
regulations are exceeded. It is also
required that, for an insured group
health plan (or a multiemployer plan)
that is a grandfathered plan, the relevant
policies, certificates, or contracts of
insurance, or plan documents must
disclose in a prominent and effective
manner that employers, employee
organizations, or plan sponsors, as
applicable, are required to notify the
issuer (or multiemployer plan) if the
contribution rate changes at any point
during the plan year. Form Number:
CMS–10325 (OMB Control Number:
0938–1093); Frequency: Occasionally;
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments, Private Sector; Number of
Respondents: 55,378; Total Annual

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Enrollment
Opportunity Notice Relating to Lifetime
Limits; Required Notice of Rescission of
Coverage; and Disclosure Requirements
for Patient Protection Under the
Affordable Care Act; Use: Sections 2711,
2712 and 2719A of the Public Health
Service Act, as added by the Affordable
Care Act, and the interim final
regulations titled ‘‘Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act: Preexisting

Jkt 238001
rescission notice, and patient protection
disclosure requirements that are subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The enrollment opportunity notice was
to be used by health plans to notify
certain individuals of their right to reenroll in their plan. This notice was a
one-time requirement and has been
discontinued. The rescission notice will
be used by health plans to provide
advance notice to certain individuals
that their coverage may be rescinded as
a result of fraud or intentional
misrepresentation of material fact. The
patient protection notification will be
used by health plans to inform certain
individuals of their right to choose a
primary care provider or pediatrician
and to use obstetrical/gynecological
services without prior authorization.
The related provisions are finalized in
the final regulations titled ‘‘Final Rules
Under the Affordable Care Act for
Grandfathered Plans, Preexisting
Condition Exclusions, Lifetime and
Annual Limits, Rescissions, Dependent
Coverage, Appeals, and Patient
Protections’’. The final regulations also
require that, if State law prohibits
balance billing, or a plan or issuer is
contractually responsible for any
amounts balanced billed by an out-ofnetwork emergency services provider, a
plan or issuer must provide a
participant, beneficiary or enrollee
adequate and prominent notice of their
lack of financial responsibility with
respect to amounts balanced billed in
order to prevent inadvertent payment by
the individual. Form Number: CMS–
10330 (OMB Control Number: 0938–
1094); Frequency: Occasionally;
Affected Public: Private Sector, State,
Local, or Tribal Governments; Number
