concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of

(4) the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology to minimize the information 

collection burden.

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; Title of 

Information Collection: Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act; 

Exchange Functions: Standards for 

Navigators and Non-Navigator 

Assistance Personnel; Consumer 

Assistance Tools and Programs of an 

Exchange and Certified Application 

Counselors; Use: Section 1413 of the 

Affordable Care Act directs the 

Secretary of HHS to establish, subject to 

minimum requirements, a streamlined 

enrollment system for qualified health 

plans offered through the Exchange and 

insurance affordability programs. In 

addition, section 1321(a)(1) of the 

Affordable Care Act directs and 

authorizes the Secretary to issue 

regulations setting standards for meeting 

the requirements under title I of the 

Affordable Care Act, with respect to, 

among other things, the establishment 

and operation of Exchanges. Pursuant to 

this authority, regulations establishing 

the certified application counselor 

program are being finalized at 45 CFR 

155.225. Specifically, 45 CFR 155.225(a) 

requires an Exchange to establish a 

certified application counselor program 

that complies with the requirements of 

the rule. Section 155.225(b)(1) allows 

each Exchange to designate certain 

organizations, including organizations 

designated by state Medicaid or CHIP 

agencies, which will certify their staff 

and volunteers to act as certified 

application counselors. In accordance 

with 45 CFR 155.225(b)(2), Exchanges 

may choose to certify directly 

individuals who seek to act as certified 

application counselors, designate 

certain organizations which will certify 

staff or volunteers to perform 

application services, or do both. Form
