II. Solicitation of Comments HHS is interested in soliciting public comments about changes to existing regulations or guidance, or other actions within HHS’s authority, that could further the following goals with respect to the individual and small group health insurance markets: 1.

Choice includes the freedom to choose how to finance one’s healthcare, which insurer to use, and which provider to use. 2. Stabilizing the individual, small group, and non-traditional health insurance markets. What changes would bring stability to the risk pool, promote continuous coverage, increase the number of younger and healthier consumers purchasing plans, reduce uncertainty and volatility, and encourage uninsured individuals to buy coverage? 3. Enhancing affordability. What steps can HHS take to enhance the affordability of coverage for individual consumers and small businesses? 4.

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed

that request. SMH subsequently requested that the Commission change its 
channel back to channel 51 and we issued a Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, which was contested. On April 28, 2017, Licensee filed a 
letter withdrawing its pending request to substitute channel 51 for 
channel 31, explaining that it had licensed the channel 31 facility and
