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

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,

standardized, patient-level data
collection tool developed specifically
for use by hospices. It is currently used
for the collection of quality measure
data pertaining to the Hospice Quality
Reporting Program (HQRP). Since April
1, 2017, hospices have been using the
HIS V2.00.0 which specifies the

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a

Information Collection: Limited
Wraparound Coverage Reporting; Use:
The Department of Treasury, the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Health and Human
Services published final regulations on
March 18, 2015 (80 FR 13995),
amending the regulations regarding
excepted benefits under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
the Internal Revenue Code, and the
Public Health Service Act to specify
requirements for limited wraparound
coverage to qualify as an excepted
benefit. The final regulations include
requirements that limited wraparound
coverage must satisfy in order to qualify
as excepted benefits. One of them is a
reporting requirement, for group health
plans and group health insurance
issuers, as well as group health plan
sponsors.
A self-insured group health plan, or a
health insurance issuer offering or
proposing to offer Multi-State Plan
wraparound coverage, is required to
report to OPM information reasonably
required to determine whether the plan
or issuer qualifies to offer such coverage
or complies with the applicable
requirements. In addition, the plan
sponsor of any group health plan
offering any type of limited wraparound
coverage is required to report to the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), in a form and manner
specified in guidance by the Secretary of
HHS.
We seek comment on the content of
the proposed collection form. We also
seek comment on the impact that an
extension of the limited wraparound
pilot program would have on the
number of employers/sponsors
participating in the limited wraparound
pilot program. In addition, if HHS
extends the limited wraparound pilot
program, we seek comment on when the
limited wraparound pilot program
