1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement of a previously 

approved collection; Title: Information 

Collection Requirements for Compliance 

with Individual and Group Market 

Reforms under Title XXVII of the Public 

Health Service Act; Use: The provisions 

of title XXVII of the Public Health 

Service Act (PHS Act) are designed to 

make it easier for people to get access 

to health care coverage and to reduce 

the limitations that can be put on the 

coverage. Sections 2723 and 2761 of the 

PHS Act direct CMS to enforce a 

provision (or provisions) of title XXVII 

of the PHS Act with respect to health 

insurance issuers when a state has 

notified CMS that it has not enacted 

legislation to enforce or that it is not 

otherwise enforcing a provision (or 

provisions) of the individual and group 

market reforms with respect to health 

insurance issuers, or when CMS has 

determined that a state is not 

substantially enforcing one or more of 

those provisions. This collection also 

pertains to notices issued by individual 

and group health insurance issuers and 

self-funded non-Federal governmental 

plans. This collection includes the 

issuance of certificates of creditable 

coverage; notification of preexisting 

condition exclusions; notification of 

special enrollment rights; and review of 

issuers’ filings of individual and group 

market products or similar Federal 

review in cases in which a state is not 

enforcing a title XXVII individual or 

group market provision. This 

information collection is a reinstatement 

of a previously approved collection 

(which expired on September 30, 2012 

(OMB#: 0938–0702 and OMB#: 0938– 

0703)) with minimal changes to reflect
