This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Model Employer Children’s Health
Insurance Program Notice information
collection. Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA) section
701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), Public Health Service
Act (PHSA) section 2701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I),
and Internal Revenue Code (Code)
section 9801(f)(3)(B)(i)(I) require an
employer maintaining a group health
plan in a State that provides medical
assistance under a State Medicaid plan
under Social Security Act (SSA) title
XIX or child health assistance under a
State child health plan under SSA title
XXI in the form of premium assistance
for the purchase of coverage under a
group health plan to make certain
disclosures. Specifically, the employer
is required to notify each employee of
potential opportunities currently
available in the State in which the
employee resides for premium
assistance under Medicaid and
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) for health coverage of the
employee or the employee’s
dependents. ERISA section
701(f)(3)(B)(i)(II) requires the DOL to
provide employers with model language
for the CHIP notice. The model includes
information on how an employee may
contact the State in which the employee
resides for additional information
regarding potential opportunities for
premium assistance, including how to
apply for such assistance. ERISA section
701(f)(3)(B), PHSA section 2701(f)(3)(B),
and Code section 9801(f)(3)(B) authorize
this information collection. See 29
U.S.C. 1181(f)(3)(b), 42 U.S.C. 300gg–
3(f)(3)(B), 26 U.S.C. 9801(f)(3)(B).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1210–0137.

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 26, 2016 (81 FR 33550).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1210–0137. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
