SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care 
Act, Public Law 111-148, (the Affordable Care Act) was enacted on March 
23, 2010 and amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation 
Act of 2010, Public Law 111-152 on March 30, 2010. The Affordable Care 
Act added section 2713 to the Public Health Service (PHS) Act and 
incorporated this provision into ERISA and the Code. The Departments of 
Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury first published interim 
final rules on July 19, 2010, which implements the requirements of PHS 
Act section 2713, including the requirement that non-grandfathered 
group health insurance coverage to provide benefits for certain 
preventive services without cost sharing, including benefits for 
certain women's preventive health services as provided for in 
comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services 
Administration. The Departments subsequently published regulations 
establishing an exemption for certain religious objectors with respect 
to the requirement to cover contraception pursuant to comprehensive 
guidelines supported by HRSA.
    In 2013, the Department issued final rules, which clarified the 
definition of religious employer for purposes of the religious employer 
exemption and also provided accommodations for health coverage 
established or maintained or arranged by certain nonprofit religious 
organizations with religious objections to contraceptive services 
(eligible organizations). The 2018 final rules expanded the exemption 
to include additional entities (any kind of employer) and persons that 
object based on religious beliefs or moral convictions objecting to 
contraceptive or sterilization coverage, and by making the 
accommodation compliance process optional for eligible organizations 
instead of mandatory. The regulations contain the following collections 
of information. First, each organization seeking to be treated as an 
eligible organization for the optional accommodation process offered 
under the regulation must either notify an issuer or third-party 
administrator using the EBSA Form 700 method of self-certification or

notice must be separate from but, contemporaneous with (to the extent 
possible) any application materials distributed in connection with

eligible organization in any plan year to which the accommodation is to 
apply and will be provided annually. To satisfy the notice requirement, 
issuers may, but are not required to, use the model language set forth 
in the 2018 final rules or substantially similar language. Third, an 
eligible organization may also revoke its use of the accommodation 
process and must provide participants and beneficiaries written notice 
of such revocation as soon as possible. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on February 5, 2024 (89 FR 7732).
