Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

In compliance with the requirement 

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

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) 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. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection. Title of 

Information Collection: Standards 

Related to Reinsurnace, Risk Corridors 

and Risk Adjustment; Use: Section 1341 

of the Affordable Care Act provides that 

each State must establish a transitional 

reinsurance program to help stabilize 

premiums for coverage in the individual 

market during the first three years of 

Exchange operation. Section 1342 

provides for the establishment of a 

temporary risk corridors program that 

will apply to qualified health plans in 

the individual and small group markets 

for the first three years of Exchange 

operation. Section 1343 provides for a 

program of risk adjustment for all nongrandfathered plans in the individual 

and small group market both inside and 

outside of the Exchange. These riskspreading programs, which will be 

implemented by HHS, states, or both 

HHS and states, are designed to mitigate 

adverse selection and provide stability 

for health insurance issuers in the 

individual and small group markets as 

market reforms and Exchanges are 

implemented. Section 1321(a) also 

provides broad authority for the 

Secretary to establish standards and 

regulations to implement the statutory 

requirements related to Exchanges, 

reinsurance, risk adjustment, and other 

components of title I of the Affordable 

Care Act. The data collection and 

reporting requirements described in this 

information collection request will 

enable states, HHS, or both states and 

HHS to implement the aforementioned 

programs, which will mitigate the 

impact of adverse selection in the 

individual and small group markets 

both inside and outside the Exchange.
