Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 150 / Friday, August 5, 2022 / Notices
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. Title of Information Collection:
Medicaid Managed Care Quality
including Supporting Regulations; Type
of Information Collection Request:
Extension of a currently approved
collection; Use: Medicaid beneficiaries
and stakeholders use the information
collected and reported to understand
the state’s quality improvement goals
and objectives, and to understand how
the state is measuring progress on its
goals. States use this information to help
monitor and assess the performance of
their Medicaid managed care programs.
This information may assist states in
comparing the outcomes of quality
improvement efforts and can assist them
in identifying future performance
improvement subjects. CMS uses this
information as a part of its oversight of
Medicaid programs. Form Number:
CMS–10553 (OMB control number:
0938–1281); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Private Sector, Business
or other for-profits and State, Local or
Tribal Governments; Number of
Respondents: 376; Number of
Responses: 2,655; Total Annual Hours:
36,010. (For questions regarding this
collection contact Jennifer Maslowski at
312–886–2567.)
2. Title of Information Collection:
External Quality Review (EQR) of
Medicaid and Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP) Managed
Care, EQR Protocols, and Supporting
Regulations; Type of Information
Collection Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection; Use: This
2022 information collection request
proposes to revise the active external
quality review (EQR) protocols (which
were last revised in 2019). The revisions
would: (1) align the existing protocols,
appendices, and worksheets with the
2020 Medicaid managed care final rule,
and (2) add a new protocol, Validation
of Network Adequacy (RIN 0938–AS25,
CMS–2480–F). A summary of these
changes includes, but is not limited to,
adding three elements to 42 CFR
438.358(b)(1)(iii) to include a review of
elements 438.56, 438.100, and 438.114;
establishing the first protocol for the
new mandatory activity described in
438.358(b)(1)(iv) for network adequacy
validation for managed care
organizations (MCOs), prepaid inpatient

health plans (PIHPs), and prepaid
ambulatory health plans (PAHPs); and
other formatting changes. Form Number:
CMS–R–305 (OMB control number:
0938–0786); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Private Sector, Business
or other for-profits and State, Local or
Tribal Governments; Number of
Respondents: 603; Number of
Responses: 5,945; Total Annual Hours:
413,310. (For questions regarding this
collection contact Jennifer Maslowski at
312–886–2567.)
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement without change
of a previously approved collection;
Title of Information Collection: Data
Submission for the Federally-facilitated
Exchange User Fee Adjustment; Use:
Section 2713 of the Public Health
Service Act requires coverage without
cost sharing of certain preventive health
services, including certain contraceptive
services, in non-exempt, nongrandfathered group health plans and
health insurance coverage. The final
regulations establish rules under which
the third party administrator of the plan
would provide or arrange for a third
party to provide separate contraceptive
coverage to plan participants and
beneficiaries without cost sharing,
premium, fee, or other charge to plan
participants or beneficiaries or to the
eligible organization or its plan. Eligible
organizations are required to self-certify
that they are eligible for this
accommodation and provide a copy of
such self-certification to their third
party administrators. The final rules
also set forth processes and standards to
fund the payments for the contraceptive
services that are provided for
participants and beneficiaries in selfinsured plans of eligible organizations
under the accommodation described
previously, through an adjustment in
the FFE user fee payable by an issuer
participating in an FFE.
CMS will use the data collections
from participating issuers and third
party administrators to verify the total
dollar amount for such payments for
contraceptive services provided under
this accommodation for the purpose of
determining a participating issuer’s user
fee adjustment. The attestation that the
payments for contraceptive services
were made in compliance with 26 CFR
54.9815–2713A(b)(2) or 29 CFR
2590.715–2713A(b)(2) will help ensure
that the user fee adjustment is being
utilized to provide contraceptive
services for the self-insured plans in
accordance with the previously noted
accommodation. Form Number: CMS–
10492 (OMB control number: 0938–
1285); Frequency: Annually; Affected
