SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Occupational Research Agenda
(NORA) is a partnership program
created to stimulate innovative research
and improved workplace practices. The
national agenda is developed and
implemented through the NORA sector
and cross-sector councils. Each council
develops and maintains an agenda for
its sector or cross-sector.
Background: The National
Occupational Research Agenda for
Healthy Work Design and Well-being is
intended to identify the research,
information, and actions most urgently
needed to prevent occupational injuries.
This research agenda provides a vehicle
for stakeholders to describe the most
relevant issues, gaps, and safety and
health needs for the sector. Each NORA
research agenda is meant to guide or

promote high priority research efforts on
a national level, conducted by various
entities, including: Government, higher
education, and the private sector.
This is the first Healthy Work Design
and Well-Being Agenda, developed for
the third decade of NORA (2016–2026).
It was developed considering new
information about injuries and illnesses,
the state of the science, and the
probability that new information and
approaches will make a difference. As
the steward of the NORA process,
NIOSH invites comments on the draft
National Occupational Research
Agenda for Healthy Work Design and
Well-Being. Comments expressing
support or with specific
recommendations to improve the
agenda are requested. A copy of the
draft agenda is available at https://
www.regulations.gov (see Docket
Number CDC–2019–0018).

Grandfathered Health Plans under the
Affordable Care Act; Use: Section 1251
of the Affordable Care Act provides that
certain plans and health insurance
coverage in existence as of March 23,
2010, known as grandfathered health
plans, are not required to comply with
certain statutory provisions in the Act.
The final regulations titled ‘‘Final Rules
under the Affordable Care Act for
Grandfathered Plans, Preexisting
Condition Exclusions, Lifetime and
Annual Limits, Rescissions, Dependent
Coverage, Appeals, and Patient
Protections’’ (80 FR 72192, November
18, 2015) require that, to maintain its
status as a grandfathered health plan, a
plan must maintain records
documenting the terms of the plan in
effect on March 23, 2010, and any other
documents that are necessary to verify,
explain or clarify status as a
grandfathered health plan. The plan
must make such records available for
examination upon request by
participants, beneficiaries, individual
policy subscribers, or a state or federal
agency official.
A grandfathered health plan is also
required to include a statement in any
summary of benefits under the plan or
health insurance coverage, that the plan
or coverage believes it is a grandfathered
health plan within the meaning of
section 1251 of the Affordable Care Act,
and providing contact information for
participants to direct questions and
complaints. In addition, a grandfathered
group health plan that is changing
health insurance issuers is required to
provide the succeeding health insurance
issuer (and the succeeding health
insurance issuer must require)
documentation of plan terms (including
benefits, cost sharing, employer
contributions, and annual limits) under
the prior health insurance coverage
sufficient to make a determination
whether the standards of paragraph
§ 147.140(g)(1) of the final regulations
are exceeded. It is also required that, for
an insured group health plan (or a
multiemployer plan) that is a
grandfathered plan, the relevant
policies, certificates, or contracts of
insurance, or plan documents must
disclose in a prominent and effective
manner that employers, employee
organizations, or plan sponsors, as
applicable, are required to notify the
issuer (or multiemployer plan) if the
contribution rate changes at any point
during the plan year. Form Number:
