SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Number: 1545–2178. 

Form Project Number: TD 9744. 

Abstract: This document contains 

final regulations regarding 

grandfathered health plans, preexisting 

condition exclusions, lifetime and 

annual dollar limits on benefits, 

rescissions, coverage of dependent 

children to age 26, internal claims and 

appeal and external review processes, 

and patient protections under the 

Affordable Care Act. It finalizes changes 

to the proposed and interim final rules 

based on comments and incorporates 

sub regulatory guidance issued since 

publication of the proposed and interim 

final rules. 

Current Actions: Adjustments to the 

burden estimates result from updated 

estimates on the number of 

grandfathered group health plans and 

increases in wage and postage rates. 

These updated data inputs reduce the 

hour burden by 1,550 hours compared 

with the prior submission and reduce 

the cost burden by $241,267 compared 

with the prior submission. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Private Sector— 

Businesses or other for-profits and not 

for profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

8,868,468. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 2 

min. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 655. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

the collections of information covered 

by this notice: 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Books or records relating to a 

collection of information must be 

retained if their contents may become 

material in the administration of any 

internal revenue law. Generally, tax 

returns and tax return information are 

confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 

6103. 

Desired Focus of Comments: The 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., by 

permitting electronic submissions of 

responses. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the ICR for OMB approval 

of the extension of the information 

collection; they will also become a 

matter of public record. 

Approved: October 4, 2023.

IRS Tax Analyst.
