In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Office of Consumer Information and 

Insurance Oversight (OCIIO), the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, is publishing the following 

summary of proposed collections for 

public comment. Interested persons are 

invited to send comments regarding this 

burden estimate or any other aspect of 

this collection of information, including 

any of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. We are, however, requesting an 

emergency review of the information 

requested below. In compliance with 

the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(a) 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

we have submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) the 

following requirements for emergency 

review. In accordance with 5 CFR 

1320.13, we are requesting an 

emergency review to ensure compliance 

with an initiative of the Administration. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Early Retiree 

Reinsurance Program; Use: Under the 

Section 1102 of the Affordable Care Act 

and implementing regulations at 45 CFR 

Part 149, employment-based plans that 

offer health benefits to early retirees and 

their spouses, surviving spouses and 

dependents are eligible under a 

temporary program to receive a tax-free 

reimbursement for the costs of certain 

health benefits for such individuals. In 

order to qualify, plan sponsors must 

submit a complete application to the 

HHS. In order to receive reimbursement 

under the program, they must also 

submit documentation of actual costs 

for health care benefits, which consists 

of documentation of actual costs for the 

items and services involved, and a list 

of individuals to whom the 

documentation applies. Once HHS 

reviews and analyzes the information on 

the application, notification will be sent 

to the plan sponsor about its eligibility 

to participate in the program. Once HHS 

reviews and analyzes each 

reimbursement request, reimbursement 

under the program will be made to the 

sponsor, as appropriate. Form Number:

Proposed Project: Comparative 

Effectiveness Research Inventory—OMB 

No. 0990–New–Assistant Secretary for 

Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistance 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

(ASPE) is requesting approval by OMB 

for the collection of information 

submitted by content users directly to a 

web-based inventory of comparative 

effectiveness research (CER). The CER 

Inventory will categorize and catalogue 

Federal and non-Federal CER outputs 

and activities across four main domains: 

research, human & scientific capital 

(e.g., training/education, methods 

development), data infrastructure, and 

dissemination & translation. The CER 

inventory will serve as a valuable tool 

for researchers, providers, patients, 

policymakers, and other users. 

The CER inventory will draw upon 

primary data sources, including 

PubMed, HSRProj, ClinicalTrials.gov, 

and NIH RePORTER. Working with 

these four major sources and using the 

Federal Coordinating Council for CER’s 

definition of CER and strategic 

framework, selection criteria and tools 

to select and extract the appropriate 

subsets of these datasets for inclusion in 

the CER inventory will be identified. In 

addition, content owners wishing to 

submit CER records to the CER 

inventory will be directed first to submit 

such records to one of these main 

primary source databases, as 

appropriate. This method will not only 

help to augment these existing 

databases, it will enable efficient and 

effective capture of CER information for 

the CER Inventory via CER search 

filters, etc., that have been developed for 

those respective source databases. If 

candidate CER records under 

consideration are not suitable for 

submission to one of these main 

databases, an alternative method that 

allows for direct submissions to the CER 

inventory will be made available to 

content users. Examples include reports 

and published articles or projects and 

programs that focus on areas of CER 

outside of primary research (e.g., 

training and education). The pilot 

inventory tool will provide a Web form 

that may be used by content owners to 

submit CER records, subject to 

validation. This process for direct 

submission will draw from the 

experience with content owner 

submissions for such established 

databases as HSRProj and 

ClinicalTrials.gov.
