Information Collection: State 

Permissions for Enrollment in Qualified 

Health Plans in the Federally-Facilitated 

Exchange & Non-Exchange Entities; 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. 

This information collection request 

(ICR) serves as the renewal of the data 

collection clearance related to the 

ability of states to permit agents and 

brokers, as well as Web-brokers, to assist 

qualified individuals, qualified 

employers, or qualified employees 

enrolling in Qualified Health Plans in 

the Federally Facilitated Exchange (45 

CFR 155.220) and data collection 

requirements related to non-exchange 

entities. (45 CFR 155.260). [All 

references to § 155.220 shall mean 45 

CFR 155.220.] Form Number: CMS–

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Transparency in 

Coverage; Use: The final rules titled 

‘‘Transparency in Coverage,’’ published 

November 12, 2020 (85 FR 72158), 

establish requirements for group health 

plans and health insurance issuers 

offering non-grandfathered coverage in 

the individual and group markets to 

disclose to a participant, beneficiary, or 

enrollee (or an authorized representative 

on behalf of such individual) the 

consumer-specific estimated costsharing liability for covered items or 

services from a particular provider, 

thereby allowing a participant, 

beneficiary, or enrollee to obtain an 

accurate estimate and understanding of 

their potential out-of-pocket expenses 

and to effectively shop for covered items 

and services. Plans and issuers are 

required to make such information 

available for covered items and services 

through an internet-based self-service 

tool, and, if requested, in paper form. 

The internet-based self-service tool must 

allow participants, beneficiaries, or 

enrollees to search for cost-sharing 

information for a covered item or 

service by inputting the name of a 

specific in-network provider in 

conjunction with a billing code or 

descriptive term, as well as other 

relevant factors such as location of 

service, facility name, or dosage. In 

addition, the final rules require that the 

tool allow the user to refine and reorder 

search results based on geographic 

proximity of in-network providers. For 

covered items and services provided by 

out-of-network providers, the tool must 

provide the out-of-network allowed 

amount, percentage of billed charges, or 

other rates that provide a reasonably 

accurate estimate of the amount a plan 

or issuer will pay by allowing 

consumers to input a billing code, 

descriptive code, or other relevant 

factor, such as location. 

The final rules also require plans and 

issuers to publicly disclose applicable 

rates with in-network providers, 

including negotiated rates; historical 

data outlining the different billed 

charges and allowed amounts a plan or 

issuer has paid for covered items or 

services, including prescription drugs, 

furnished by out-of-network providers; 

and negotiated rates and historical net 

prices for covered prescription drugs 

furnished by in-network providers 

through three machine-readable files (an 

In-network Rate File, Allowed Amount 

File, and Prescription Drug File). The 

machine-readable files must be posted 

publicly on an internet website and 

updated on a monthly basis. Form

Administration for Children and

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; OPRE Data Collection for 

Supporting Youth To Be Successful in 

Life (SYSIL) (New Collection) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) is 

requesting approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for a 

new data collection. The Supporting 

Youth to be Successful in Life study 

(SYSIL) will build evidence on how to 

end homelessness among youth and 

young adults with experience in the 

child welfare system by continuing 

work with an organization who 

conducted foundational work as part of 

the Youth At-Risk of Homelessness 

project (OMB Control Number: 0970– 

0445). SYSIL will provide important 

information to the field by designing 

and conducting a federally led 

evaluation of a comprehensive service 

model for youth at risk of homelessness. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

ACF is soliciting public comment on the 

specific aspects of the information 

collection described above. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

collection of information can be 

obtained and comments may be 

forwarded by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Alternatively, copies can also be 

obtained by writing to the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE 

Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, 

emailed or written, should be identified 

by the title of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The SYSIL evaluation 

includes an implementation study and 

an impact study, which will use a 

rigorous quasi-experimental design that 

includes a comparison group. This new 

information collection request includes 

the baseline and follow-up survey 

instruments for the impact study (a 

single instrument administered four 

times), and discussion guides for 

interviews and focus groups and the 

Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) for 

the implementation study. The data 

collected from the baseline and followup surveys will be used to describe the 

characteristics of the study sample of 

youth, develop models for estimating 

program impacts, and determine 

program effectiveness by comparing 

outcomes between youth in the 

treatment (youth receiving the Pathways 

program) and control groups. Data from 

the interviews and focus groups will 

provide a detailed understanding of 

program implementation. The study 

will also use administrative data from 

the child welfare system, homelessness 

management information system, and 

program providers. Administrative data 

will be used in its existing format and 

does not impose any new information 

collection or recordkeeping 

requirements on respondents. 

Respondents: The baseline and 

follow-up surveys will be administered 

to youth in the treatment group (youth 

receiving the Pathways program) and 

youth in the control group who consent 

to participate in the study. Interviews 

will be conducted with program 

leadership and staff. Focus groups will 

be conducted with a subset of youth 

who are participating in the study. The 

WAI will be completed by Pathways 

youth and their caseworkers.
