1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or

Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Marketplace
Operations; Use: On August 30, 2013,
HHS published the final rule CMS–
9957–F: Program Integrity: Exchanges,
SHOP, Eligibility Appeals (Program
Integrity final rule), finalizing a number
of the provisions from the Program
Integrity and E&E II Proposed Rules.
The third party disclosure requirements
and data collections in the Program
Integrity final rule support the oversight
of qualified health plan (QHP) issuers in
Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs)
and other provisions. OMB approved
the associated information collection
request under OMB control number
0938–1213 on November 21, 2013. The
Program Integrity ICR was inclusive of
many unrelated information collection
requirements covered in the Program
Integrity Final Rule. This proposed ICR
serves as the formal request for a new
stand-alone information collection
request to cover existing Marketplace
Operations requirements previously
approved under OMB control number
0938–1213 (Program Integrity and
Additional State Information
Collections). Form Number: CMS–10637
(OMB control number 0938–NEW).
