2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a previously
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: Rate Increase
Disclosure and Review Requirements
(45 CFR part 154); Use: 45 CFR part 154
implements the annual review of
unreasonable increases in premiums for
health insurance coverage called for by
section 2794. The regulation established
a rate review program to ensure that all
rate increases that meet or exceed an
established threshold are reviewed by a
state or the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) to determine
whether the rate increases are
unreasonable. Accordingly, issuers
offering non-grandfathered health
insurance coverage in the individual
and/or small group markets are required
to submit Rate Filing Justifications to
CMS. Section 154.103(b) exempts
grandfathered health plan coverage as
defined in 45 CFR 147.140 and excepted
benefits as described in section 2791(c)
of the PHS Act. In the Notice of Benefit
and Payment Parameters for 2019 (2019
Payment Notice) (83 FR 74, April 17,
2018), Section 154.103 was modified so
that student health insurance coverage,
as defined in § 147.145, is also
exempted from Federal rate review
requirements for plans beginning on or
after July 1, 2018.
Section 154.200(a)(1) previously
provided that a rate increase for single
risk pool coverage beginning on or after
January 1, 2017 was subject to a
reasonableness review if: (1) The
average increase, including premium
rating factors described in § 147.102, for
all enrollees, weighted by premium
volume for any plan within the product,
meets or exceeds 10 percent; or (2) the
increase exceeds a state-specific
threshold approved by the Secretary. In
the 2019 Payment Notice, this provision
was amended to establish a 15 percent
federal default threshold for
reasonableness review beginning with
single risk pool rate filings submitted by
issuers for plan or policy years
beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
The Rate Filing Justification consists
of three parts. All issuers must continue
to submit a Uniform Rate Review
Template (URRT) (Part I of the Rate
Filing Justification) for all single risk
pool plans. Issuers that submit a rate
filing that includes a plan that meets or
exceeds the threshold must include a
written description justifying the rate
increase, also known as the consumer
justification narrative (Part II of the Rate
Filing Justification). We note that the
threshold set by CMS constitutes a
minimum standard and most states
currently employ stricter rate review
standards and may continue to do so.
Issuers offering a QHP or any single risk
pool submission containing a rate
increase of any size must continue to
submit an actuarial memorandum (Part
III of the Rate Filing Justification). Form

OMB No.: 0970–0435.
Description: The federal Office of
Child Support Enforcement’s (OCSE)
Federal Parent Locator Service offers the
Electronic Document Exchange (EDE),
formerly titled ‘‘Child Support
Document Exchange System’’ (CSDES),
application within the OCSE Child
Support Portal. The EDE provides a
centralized, secure system for
authorized users in state child support
agencies to electronically exchange
child support and spousal support case
information with other state child
support agencies. Using the EDE
benefits state child support agencies by
reducing delays, costs, and barriers
associated with interstate case
processing; increasing state collections;
improving document security;
standardizing data sharing; increasing
state participation; and improving case
processing and overall child and
spousal support outcomes.
The activities associated with the EDE
are authorized by (1) 42 U.S.C. 652(a)(7),
which requires OCSE to provide
technical assistance to the states to help
them establish effective systems for
collecting child support and spousal
support; (2) 42 U.S.C. 666(c)(1), which
requires state child support agencies to
have expedited procedures to obtain
and promptly share information with
other state child support agencies; and
(3) 45 CFR 303.7(a)(5), provides the
mechanism for state child support
agencies to fulfill the federal
requirement to transmit requests for
child support case information and
provide requested information
electronically to the greatest extent
possible as required by the regulation.
Respondents: State Child Support
Agencies.
