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.

Exchanges
    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

change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information 
Collection: Blueprint for Approval of State-based Health Insurance 
Exchanges; Use: The original information collection request for the 
State Exchange Blueprint Data Collection Tool specified a single 
reporting tool for all the various exchange types and was partially 
paper based. Subsequent revisions simplified the tool by having 
separate collection tools for each type of exchange and on-line 
implementation of the tool to reduce the burden. This revision updates 
the tool to reflect current State Exchange model options (a State-based

through the 2017, 2018 and the 2019 Payment Notice, as well as through

prescribed relationship between the secretary and States in their 
development and operation, it is critical that the Secretary work 
closely with States to provide necessary guidance and technical 
assistance to ensure that States can meet the prescribed timelines,
