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 (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, 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 that summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for public comment: 1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Program: Final Marketing Provisions in 42 CFR 422.111(a)(3) and 423.128(a)(3); Use: Pursuant to disclosure requirements set out in sections 1851(d)(2)(A) and 1860D–1(c) of the Social Security Act (the Act), and cited in §§ 422.111(a)(3) and 423.128(a)(3), Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations and Part D sponsors must provide notice to plan members of impending changes to plan benefits, premiums and cost sharing in the coming year. To this effect, members will be in the best position to make an informed choice on continued enrollment or disenrollment from that plan at least 15 days before the Annual Election Period (AEP) using the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) and before the first day of the AEP for the Evidence of Coverage (EOC). MA organizations and Part D sponsors must notify plan members of the coming year changes using the standardized ANOC. Plans must disseminate the EOC at the time of enrollment and at least annually thereafter. CMS requires MA organizations and Part D sponsors to use the standardized documents being submitted for OMB approval to satisfy disclosure requirements mandated by section 1851 (d)(3)(A) of the Act and § 422.111 for MA organizations and section 1860D– 1(c) of the Act and § 423.128(a)(3) for Part D sponsors. Sections 1851(h)(1) and (2) of the Act require MA organizations and Part D sponsors to obtain CMS approval of marketing materials to ensure that MA organizations and Part D sponsors disclose correct information to current and potential enrollees. CMS collects and retains the MA organization and Part D plan marketing materials via the PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19487 Health Plan Management System (HPMS). MA organizations and Part D plans submit marketing materials to the CMS marketing material review process using HPMS. Both current and potential enrollees can review other marketing materials to find plan benefits, premiums, and cost sharing for the coming year (after October 1) and the current year to be in a better position to make. MA organizations and Part D sponsors use the information discussed in the Medicare Communication and Marketing Guidelines (MCMG) to comply with the requirements to seek CMS approval on marketing materials under MA and Part D law and regulations, as described above. CMS requires MA organizations and Part D sponsors to obtain CMS approval of marketing materials to ensure that MA organizations and Part D sponsors disclose correct information to current and potential enrollees.

To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice. Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Triennial Network Adequacy Review for Medicare Advantage Organizations and 1876 Cost Plans; Use: CMS regulations at 42 CFR 417.414, 417.416, 422.112(a)(1)(i), and 422.114(a)(3)(ii) require that all Medicare Advantage organizations (MAOs) offering coordinated care plans, network-based private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans, and as well as section 1876 cost organizations, maintain a network of appropriate providers that is sufficient to provide adequate access to covered services to meet the needs of the population served. To enforce this requirement, CMS developed network adequacy criteria which set forth the minimum number of providers and maximum travel time and distance from enrollees to providers, for required provider specialty types in each county in the United States and its territories. Organizations must be in compliance with the current CMS network adequacy criteria guidance, which is updated and PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 published annually on CMS’s website. Additional network policy guidance is also located in chapter 4 of the Medicare Managed Care Manual. This collection of information is essential to appropriate and timely compliance monitoring by CMS, in order to ensure that all active contracts offering network-based plans maintain an adequate network. CMS verifies that organizations are compliant with the CMS network adequacy criteria by performing a contract-level network review, which occurs when CMS requests an organization upload provider and facility Health Service Delivery (HSD) tables for a given contract to the Health Plan Management System (HPMS). CMS reviews networks on a three-year cycle, unless there is an event that triggers an intermediate full network review, thus resetting the organization’s triennial review. The triennial review cycle will help ensure a consistent process for network oversight and monitoring. Once CMS staff reviews the ACC reports and any Exception Requests and/or Partial County Justifications, CMS then makes its final determination on whether the organization is operating in compliance with current CMS network adequacy criteria. If the organization passes its network review for a given contract, then CMS will take no further action. If the organization fails its network review for a given contract, then CMS will take appropriate compliance actions. CMS has developed a compliance methodology for network adequacy reviews that will ensure a consistent approach across all organizations.

CMS-10636 Triennial Network Adequacy Review for Medicare Advantage 
Organizations and 1876 Cost Plans
CMS-10592 Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; 
Exchange Standards for Employers

    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

    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of 
a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: 
Triennial Network Adequacy Review for Medicare Advantage Organizations 
and 1876 Cost Plans; Use: CMS regulations at 42 CFR 417.414, 417.416, 
422.112(a)(1)(i), and 422.114(a)(3)(ii) require that all Medicare 
Advantage organizations (MAOs) offering coordinated care plans, 
network-based private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans, and as well as 
section 1876 cost organizations, maintain a network of appropriate 
providers that is sufficient to provide adequate access to covered 
services to meet the needs of the population served. To enforce this 
requirement, CMS developed network adequacy criteria which set forth 
the minimum number of providers and maximum travel time and distance 
from enrollees to providers, for required provider specialty types in 
each county in the United States and its territories. Organizations 
must be in compliance with the current CMS network adequacy criteria 
guidance, which is updated and published annually on CMS's website. 
Additional network policy guidance is also located in chapter 4 of the 
Medicare Managed Care Manual. This collection of information is 
essential to appropriate and timely compliance monitoring by CMS, in 
order to ensure that all active contracts offering network-based plans 
maintain an adequate network.
    CMS verifies that organizations are compliant with the CMS network 
adequacy criteria by performing a contract-level network review, which 
occurs when CMS requests an organization upload provider and facility 
Health Service Delivery (HSD) tables for a given contract to the Health 
Plan Management System (HPMS). CMS reviews networks on a three-year 
cycle, unless there is an event that triggers an intermediate full 
network review, thus resetting the organization's triennial review. The 
triennial review cycle will help ensure a consistent process for 
network oversight and monitoring.
    Once CMS staff reviews the ACC reports and any Exception Requests 
and/or Partial County Justifications, CMS then makes its final 
determination on whether the organization is operating in compliance 
with current CMS network adequacy criteria. If the organization passes 
its network review for a given contract, then CMS will take no further 
action. If the organization fails its network review for a given 
contract, then CMS will take appropriate compliance actions. CMS has 
developed a compliance methodology for network adequacy reviews that 
will ensure a consistent approach across all organizations. Form

    2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension without change 
of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: 
Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange 
Standards for Employers; Use: Section 1321(a) requires HHS to issue 
regulations setting standards for meeting the requirements under Title 
I of the Affordable Care Act including the offering of Qualified Health 
Plans (QHPs) through the Exchanges. On March 27, 2012, HHS published 
the rule CMS-9989-F: Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health 
Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers. The Exchange rule contains 
provisions that

insurance issuers are meeting the requirements of the Affordable Care 
Act. These information collection requirements are set forth in 45 CFR

agencies will be used to determine eligibility for coverage through the 
Exchange and insurance affordability programs (i.e., Medicaid, CHIP,
