Review; Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on CMS’ intention to collect 

information from the public. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, and to allow 

a second opportunity for public 

comment on the notice. Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding the 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. 

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of 

information must be received by the 

OMB desk officer by February 4, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: When commenting on the 

proposed information collections,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Risk Corridors 

Transitional Policy; Use: Section 1342 

of the Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act of 2010 (the Affordable Care 

Act) 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. The implementing 

regulations for this provision are located 

in Part 153 Title 45 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR). A final rule 

published on March 11, 2014 (79 FR 

13834; CMS–9954–F) and is effective 

May 12, 2014. Under 45 CFR 153.530(e), 

each issuer conducting business in the 

individual and small group markets in 

states that adopted the transitional 

policy is required to submit enrollment 

data, including enrollment in 

transitional policies (i.e. individual or 

small group health insurance coverage 

in states that adopted the transitional 

policy announced in the Centers for 

Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) letter 

dated November 14, 2013), on the 

‘‘Transitional Adjustment Reporting 

Form’’ prescribed by CMS, for each state 

in which the issuer conducts business. 

The data collection will be used to 

amend the risk corridors program 

provisions in 45 CFR part 153 to 

mitigate any unexpected losses for 

issuers of plans subject to risk corridors 

that are attributable to the effects of this 

transitional policy. Specifically, we will 

use the data to calculate the risk 

corridors adjustment percentage, if any, 

in transitional states. Form Number: 

CMS–10532 (OMB control number: 

0938–New); Frequency: Once; Affected 

Public: Private sector (business or other 

for-profits and not-for-profit 

institutions); Number of Respondents: 

400; Number of Responses: 400; Total 

Annual Hours: 400. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection, 

contact Jaya Ghildiyal at (301) 492– 

5149.) 

Dated: December 29, 2014.
