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-10666 Non-Exchange Entities
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 Collections
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information
Collection: Non-Exchange Entities; Use: The original information
collection request (ICR) that provided the authority for HHS to collect
the information necessary for these requests to deviate was titled Non-
Exchange Entities (0938-1329) and was approved on 5/23/2017. The
original ICR was discontinued on 3/4/2020 due to the concurrent
discontinuation of standardized options in the HHS Notice of Benefit
and Payment Parameters for 2019; Final Rule (2019 Payment Notice).
The ICR that provided HHS the authority to collect the necessary
information to enable web-brokers and issuers using the Classic DE and
EDE pathways to submit a request to deviate from the manner in which
standardized plan options are differentially displayed on
HealthCare.gov was reinstated concurrently with the reintroduction of
standardized plan option requirements in the HHS Notice of Benefit and
Payment Parameters for 2023 Final Rule (2023 Payment Notice). The
standardized plan options that were differentially displayed on
HealthCare.gov and that web-brokers or issuers utilizing the Classic DE
and EDE pathways were required to differentially display were updated
in the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2024 Final Rule
(2024 Payment Notice) and HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters
for 2025 Final Rule (2025 Payment Notice). This ICR serves as a formal
request to reinstate the data collection with change. Form Number: CMS-
10666 (OMB control number: 0938-1329); Frequency: Annually; Affected
Public: Private Sector--Business or other for-profits; Number of
Respondents: 115; Number of Responses: 115; Total Annual Hours: 215.
