SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
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 (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: 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;
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Exchange Standards for Employers. The
Exchange rule contains provisions that
mandate reporting and data collections
necessary to ensure that health
insurance issuers are meeting the
requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
These information collection
requirements are set forth in 45 CFR
part 156.
Information collected by the
Exchanges or Medicaid and CHIP
agencies will be used to determine
eligibility for coverage through the
Exchange and insurance affordability
programs (i.e., Medicaid, CHIP, and
advance payment of the premium tax
credits); evaluate how CMS can best
communicate eligibility and enrollment
updates to issuers; and assist consumers
in enrolling in a QHP if eligible.
Applicants include anyone who may be
eligible for coverage through any of
these programs. Form Number: CMS–
10592 (OMB control number: 0938–
1341); Frequency: Annually, Monthly,
Occasionally; Affected Public: Private
Sector: Business or other for-profits;
Number of Respondents: 250; Total
Annual Responses: 250; Total Annual
Hours: 131,750. For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Anne
Pesto at 443–844–9966.
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Quality of Care Complaint Form; Use:
Since 1986, Quality Improvement
Organizations (QIO) have been
responsible for conducting appropriate
reviews of written complaints submitted
by beneficiaries about the quality of care
they have received. In order to receive
these written complaints, each QIO has
developed its own unique form on
which beneficiaries can submit their
complaints. CMS has initiated several
efforts aimed at increasing the
standardization of all QIO activities, and
the development of a single,
standardized Medicare Quality of Care
Complaint Form beneficiaries can use to
submit complaints is a key step towards
attaining this increased standardization.
The Medicare Quality of Care Complaint
Form has been revised to improve its
content, in order to provide clarity and
support to beneficiaries. Section two of
the form was updated to replace the
Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN)
with the current Medicare Beneficiary
Identifier (MBI), a randomly generated
number that replaced the SSN-based
HICN. The information page of the form
was revised to provide clear instruction
as to how to complete the form and the
implication of not providing certain
requested information. Form Number:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in the PRA and includes agency
requests or requirements that members
of the public submit reports, keep
records, or provide information to a
third party. The PRA requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, ACL is publishing a notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection
of information, ACL invites comments
on our burden estimates or any other
aspect of this collection of information,
including:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of ACL’s functions,

the methodology and assumptions used

to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
The purpose of this data collection is
to collect sub-award data from grantees,
including agency name, address, and
annual federal funds received. Congress
requires this data collection for program
monitoring for the State Health
Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP)
under the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2018, SEC. 50207 (b). This data
collection allows the Administration for
Community Living (ACL) and the Center
for Innovation and Partnership (CIP) to
communicate with Congress and the
public on the SHIP network of agencies.
This is a new data collection requiring
State SHIP grantees to provide the
amount of federal funds provided
annually to each sub-contractor and
sub-grantee that are delivering SHIP
services. The data collected will be will
be electronically posted on the ACL
website to educate the network on who
the SHIP state sub-recipients are and
how much money they are receiving.
SHIP grantees are located in each of
the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. The respondents for this data
collection are grantees who meet with
Medicare beneficiaries and older adults’
in-group settings and in one-on-one
sessions to educate them on Medicare.
The proposed data collection tools
may be found on the ACL website for
review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input.
