CMS–10380 Reporting Requirements
for Grants to States for Rate Review
Cycle IV and Effective Rate Review
Program
Under the 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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Reporting
Requirements for Grants to States for
Rate Review Cycle IV and Effective Rate
Review Program; Use: Section 2794(c)
directs the Secretary to carry out a
program to award grants to states, which
are to serve the following purposes: (1)
Establish or enhance rate review
programs, referred to as ‘‘Rate Review’’
activities; (2) Help states to provide data
to the Secretary regarding trends in rate
increases as well as recommendations
regarding plan participation in the
Exchange, referred to as ‘‘Required Rate
Reporting’’ activities; (3) Establish or
enhance Data Centers that collect,
analyze, and disseminate health care
pricing data to the public, referred to as
‘‘Data Center’’ activities.
CMS has released Premium Review
Grants in four funding opportunity
cycles. Grant recipients must states
submit the following to the Secretary for
each grant cycle, as applicable:
Quarterly reports—30 days after the
quarter has ended for the entire duration
of the grant; Annual report—This report
does not contain data, but instead
E:\FR\FM\02JNN1.SGM

25608
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 105 / Friday, June 2, 2017 / Notices
documents the progress toward
establishing or enhancing an Effective
Rate Review Program and/or a Data
Center; Final report—This report is due
at the end of the grant period.
The final rule ‘‘Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act; Health Insurance
Market Rules; Rate Review’’ (78 FR
13406, February 27, 2013) modified
criteria and factors for states to have an
Effective Rate Review Program. These
changes were necessary to reflect market
reform provisions and to fulfill the
statutory requirement that the Secretary,
in conjunction with the states, monitor
premium increases of health insurance
coverage offered through an Exchange
and outside of an Exchange.
CMS is authorized under 45 CFR
154.301(d) to evaluate whether, and to
what extent, a state’s circumstances
have changed such that it has begun to
or has ceased to satisfy the Effective
Rate Review Program criteria. States
respond to a questionnaire annually via
the Health Insurance Oversight System
(HIOS), a web-based data collection
system commonly used on a regular
basis. All submissions are made
electronically and no paper submissions
are required. CMS is not requesting any
changes to the questionnaire at this
time. Form Number: CMS–10380 (OMB
Control Number: 0938–1121);
Frequency: Quarterly and Yearly;
Affected Public: State agencies; Number
of Respondents: 51; Total Annual
Responses: 571; Total Annual Hours:
15,415. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Lisa Cuozzo at

Cycle IV and Effective Rate Review Program
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each

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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently

Requirements for Grants to States for Rate Review Cycle IV and
Effective Rate Review Program; Use: Section 2794(c) directs the
Secretary to carry out a program to award grants to states, which are

well as recommendations regarding plan participation in the Exchange,
referred to as ``Required Rate Reporting'' activities; (3) Establish or

CMS has released Premium Review Grants in four funding opportunity
cycles. Grant recipients must states submit the following to the

Annual report--This report does not contain data, but instead

The final rule ``Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Health
Insurance Market Rules; Rate Review'' (78 FR 13406, February 27, 2013)

Review Program. These changes were necessary to reflect market reform

in conjunction with the states, monitor premium increases of health
insurance coverage offered through an Exchange and outside of an
Exchange.
CMS is authorized under 45 CFR 154.301(d) to evaluate whether, and
to what extent, a state's circumstances have changed such that it has

requesting any changes to the questionnaire at this time. Form Number:
