Contents
This notice sets out a summary of the
use and burden associated with the
following information collections. More
detailed information can be found in
each collection’s supporting statement
and associated materials (see
ADDRESSES).
CMS–10401 Standards Related to
Reinsurance, Risk Corridors, Risk
Adjustment, and Payment Appeals
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: Reinstatement with change of a
previously approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Standards
Related to Reinsurance, Risk Corridors,
and Risk Adjustment; Use: The data
collection and reporting requirements
will be used by HHS to run the

Jkt 256001
permanent risk adjustment program,
including validation of data submitted
by issuers, on behalf of States that
requested HHS to run it for them. Risk
adjustment is one of three market
stability programs established by the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act and is intended to mitigate the
impact of adverse selection in the
individual and small group health
insurance markets inside and outside of
the Health Insurance Exchanges. HHS
will also use this data to adjust the
payment transfer formula for risk
associated with high-cost enrollees.
State regulators can use the reporting
requirements outlined in this collection
to request a reduction to the statewide
average premium factor of the risk
adjustment transfer formula, beginning
for the 2019 benefit year, and thereby
avoid having to establish their own
programs. Issuers and providers can use
the alternative reporting requirements
for mental and behavioral health records
described herein to comply with State
privacy laws. Form Number: CMS–
10401 (OMB control number: 0938–
1155); Frequency: Annually; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
650; Total Annual Responses: 173,918;
Total Annual Hours: 4,126,850. For
policy questions regarding this

publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Cooperative
Agreement to Support Navigators in
Federally-facilitated Exchanges; Use:
Section 1311(i) of the PPACA requires
Exchanges to establish a Navigator grant
program under which it awards grants
to eligible individuals and entities (as
described in Section 1311(i)(2) of the
PPACA and 45 CFR 155.210(a) and (c))
applying to serve consumers in States
with a FFE. Navigators assist consumers
by providing education about and
facilitating selection of qualified health
plans (QHPs) within the Exchanges, as
well as other required duties. Entities
and individuals cannot serve as
federally certified Navigators and carry
out the required duties without
receiving federal cooperative agreement
funding. On July 1, 2021, HHS
published the Updating Payment
Parameters, Section 1332 Waiver
Implementing Regulations, and
Improving Health Insurance Markets for
2022 and Beyond Proposed Rule
proposed rule. The proposed regulations
would amend federal regulations at 45
CFR 155.210(e)(9) to reinstitute the
requirement that FFE Navigators
provide consumers with information
and assistance on access, affordability
and certain post-enrollment topics, such
as the eligibility appeals process, the
Exchange-related components of the
Premium Tax Credit (PTC)
reconciliation process, and the basic
concepts and rights of health coverage
and how to use it.
Under the Terms and Conditions of
the Navigator program cooperative
agreements, awardees must provide
progress reports on a weekly, monthly,
quarterly and annual basis during the
cooperative agreement period of
performance, and a final report at the
end of the period of performance.
Awardees will submit their progress
reports electronically to CMS staff for
evaluation and analysis. The results of
this evaluation will provide feedback on
the effectiveness of the Navigator
program, so that HHS and CMS
leadership may evaluate the
effectiveness of the program and address
any areas that need revisions. CMS will
also use the information collected from
Navigator grant awardees to inform the
public about the availability of
application and enrollment assistance
services from designated organizations.
