The information collection requirements described herein affect approximately 11,252 FQHCs. The current information collection requirements at 42 CFR 491.9(b) and 491.11 are applicable to both RHCs and FQHCs. Form Number: CMS–R–38 (OMB control number: 0938–0334); Frequency: Recordkeeping and Reporting—Annually; Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 17,663; Total Annual Responses: 17,663; Total Annual Hours: 104,245. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Claudia Molinar at 410–786– 8445.) 2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Establishment of Qualified Health Plans and American Health Benefit Exchanges; Use: On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA; Pub. L. 111–148) was signed into law, and on March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–152) was signed into law. The two laws implement various health insurance policies. Section 1303 of the PPACA, as implemented in 45 CFR 156.280, specifies standards for issuers of qualified health plans (QHPs) through the Exchanges that cover abortion services for which public funding is prohibited (also referred to as non-Hyde abortion services or non-excepted abortion services). In the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers (2012 Exchange Establishment Rule) (77 FR 18310), we codified the statutory provisions of section 1303 of the PPACA in regulation at 45 CFR 156.280. Under 45 CFR 156.280(e)(5)(ii), each QHP issuer that offers coverage of abortion services for which public funding is prohibited must submit to the State Insurance Commissioner a segregation plan describing how the QHP issuer establishes and maintains separate allocation accounts for any QHP covering abortion services for which public funding is prohibited, and pursuant to § 156.280(e)(5)(iii), each QHP issuer must annually attest to compliance with PPACA section 1303 and applicable regulations. This VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:27 Mar 27, 2024 Jkt 262001 segregation plan is used to verify that the QHP issuer’s financial and other systems fully conform to the segregation requirements required by the PPACA. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is renewing this information collection request (ICR) in connection with the segregation plan requirement under 45 CFR 156.280(e)(5)(ii). The burden estimates for this collection of information renewal reflect the time and effort for QHP issuers to submit a segregation plan that demonstrates how the QHP issuer segregates QHP funds in accordance with applicable provisions of generally accepted accounting requirements, circulars on funds management of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and guidance on accounting of the Government Accountability Office. CMS is also renewing the ICR in connection with the annual attestation requirement under 45 CFR 156.280(e)(5)(iii). The burden estimate for this ICR reflects the time and effort associated with QHP issuers submitting an annual attestation to the State Insurance Commissioner attesting to compliance with section 1303 of the PPACA. Form Number: CMS–10400 (OMB control number: 0938–1156); Frequency: Annually); Affected Public: Private Sector (business or other for-profits, not-for-profits institutions); Number of Respondents: 1,617; Number of Responses: 1,617; Total Annual Hours: 5,508.75.
