plans may be offered as ‘‘church plans’’ (described above) to individual churches as a means of pooling their risk. The Departments seek comment on whether different accommodations are needed for such plans.

In addition, the Departments are aware that 28 States have adopted laws requiring that certain health insurance issuers provide contraceptive coverage. Some of these laws contain exemptions related to religious organizations, but the scope of the exemptions varies among the States. Generally, Federal health insurance coverage regulation creates a floor to which States may add consumer protections, but may not subtract. This means that, in States with broader religious exemptions than that in the final regulations, the exemptions will be narrowed to align with that in the final regulations because this will help more consumers. Organizations that qualify for an exemption under State law but do not qualify for the exemption under the final regulations may be eligible for the temporary enforcement safe harbor. During this transition period, State laws that require contraceptive coverage with narrower or no religious exemptions will continue. The Departments seek comment on the interaction between these State laws and the intended regulations on which we are seeking comment in this notice and on the extent to which there is a need for consistency between any Federal regulations and these State laws. Similarly, the Departments solicit comment on what other Federal or State laws or accounting rules governing funding and accounting could affect the proposed options described herein.

In addition, the Departments solicit information on the number of potentially affected issuers and religious organizations as well as their plan participants and beneficiaries; the administrative cost of providing separate contraceptive coverage, including details regarding the nature of the costs (for example, one-time systems changes or ongoing administrative costs); and the average costs and savings to health plans, plan participants and beneficiaries, and the public of providing contraceptive coverage. D. Additional Input

The 90-day comment period is designed to encourage maximum input into the development of an accommodation for religious organizations with religious objections to providing contraceptive coverage while ensuring the availability of contraceptive coverage without cost sharing for plan participants and beneficiaries. The Departments seek comments on the ideas and questions outlined in this ANPRM as well as new suggestions to achieve its goals. The Departments also intend to hold listening sessions to ensure all voices are heard. This will not be the only opportunity for comment. The subsequent notice of proposed rulemaking will also include a public comment period. The Departments aim to ensure that the final accommodation is fully vetted and published in advance of the expiration of the temporary enforcement safe harbor.
