Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 22, 2023 / Notices 81417 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited 

the general public and other Federal 

Agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on the following information 

collection. Comments are requested 

concerning: (a) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Commission, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Commission’s burden estimates; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Pursuant to the Small Business 

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), 

the FCC seeks specific comment on how 

it might ‘‘further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees.’’ 

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX. 

Title: Enhanced A–CAM 

Cybersecurity and Supply Chain Risk 

Management Plan Requirements. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: New information 

collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities and State, local or Tribal 

governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 450 respondents; 900 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10–50 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: One-time and 

on occasion reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 214, 

218–220, 254, 303(r), and 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 27,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: On July 24, 2023, the 

Commission released the Enhanced A– 

CAM Order (Order), 88 FR 55918, 

August 17, 2023, WC Docket No. 10–90 

et al., FCC 23–60, which adopted a 

voluntary path for supporting the 

widespread deployment of 100/20 Mbps 

broadband service throughout the rural 

areas served by carriers currently 

receiving Alternative Connect America 

Cost Model (A–CAM) support and in 

areas served by rate-of-return carriers 

eligible to receive legacy support by the 

end of 2028. The Commission extended 

by 10 years beyond the remaining five 

years, for a total of 15 years, the term of 

support for electing carriers and set a 

methodology for determining support 

amounts for locations without 100/20 

Mbps broadband service within a 

potential budget of no more than $1.27 

billion annually, or no more than $1.33 

billion annually if certain conditions are 

met, using an updated version of the A– 

CAM. By adopting this program, the 

Commission furthered its long-standing 

goals by promoting the universal 

availability of voice and broadband 

networks, while also taking measures to 

minimize the burden on the nation’s 

ratepayers. The Commission also 

adopted requirements for the Enhanced 

A–CAM program to complement 

existing Federal, State, and local 

funding programs, so that broadband 

funding can be used efficiently to 

maximize the deployment of highquality broadband service across the 

United States. 

To ensure that the Enhanced A–CAM 

program does not deprive rural 

consumers in high-cost areas of 

broadband service that is as secure as 

the service deployed pursuant to other 

Federal funding initiatives, the 

Commission required Enhanced A– 

CAM carriers to implement operational 

cybersecurity and supply chain risk 

management plans by January 1, 2024— 

the start of the Enhanced A–CAM 

support term. Enhanced A–CAM 

carriers must submit such plans to the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) and certify they have 

done so, by January 2, 2024 or within 

30 days of approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, whichever is 

later. Failure to submit the plans and 

make the certification shall result in 

25% of monthly support being withheld 

until the carrier comes into compliance. 

If a carrier makes a substantive 

modification to its cybersecurity or 

supply chain risk management plan, the 

Commission requires that the carrier 

submit its updated plan to USAC within 

30 days of making that modification. 

The purpose of this information 

collection is to collect the operational 

cybersecurity and supply chain risk 

management plans required of the 

Enhanced A–CAM carriers by the start 

of the Enhanced A–CAM support term 

and address the burdens associated with 

that requirement.

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

regarding our burden estimates or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including any of the 

following subjects: the necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William Parham at (410) 786–4669. 

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 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: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Annual MLR 

and Rebate Calculation Report and MLR 

Rebate Notices; Use: Under section 2718 

of the Affordable Care Act and 

implementing regulation at 45 CFR part 

158, a health insurance issuer (issuer) 

offering group or individual health 

insurance coverage must submit a report 

to the Secretary concerning the amount 

the issuer spends each year on claims, 

quality improvement expenses, nonclaims costs, Federal and State taxes 

and licensing and regulatory fees, the 

amount of earned premium, and 

beginning with the 2014 reporting year, 

the amounts related to the transitional 

reinsurance and risk adjustment 

programs established under sections 

1341 and 1343, respectively, of the 

Affordable Care Act. An issuer must 

provide an annual rebate if the amount 

it spends on certain costs compared to 

its premium revenue (excluding Federal 

and States taxes and licensing and 

regulatory fees) does not meet a certain 

ratio, referred to as the medical loss 

ratio (MLR). Each issuer is required to 

submit annually MLR data, including 

information about any rebates it must 

provide, on a form prescribed by CMS, 

for each State in which the issuer 

conducts business. Each issuer is also 

required to provide a rebate notice to 

each policyholder that is owed a rebate 

and each subscriber of policyholders 

that are owed a rebate for any given 

MLR reporting year. Additionally, each 

issuer is required to maintain for a 

period of seven years all documents, 

records and other evidence that support 

the data included in each issuer’s 

annual report to the Secretary. 

Based upon CMS’ experience in the 

MLR data collection and evaluation 

process, CMS is updating its annual 

burden hour estimates to reflect the 

actual numbers of submissions, rebates 

and rebate notices. 

The 2022 MLR Reporting Form and 

Instructions reflect changes for the 2020 

reporting year and beyond. For 2022, it 

is expected that issuers will submit 

fewer reports and on average, send 

fewer notices and rebate checks in the 

mail to policyholders and subscribers, 

which will reduce burden on issuers. 

Form Number: CMS–10418 (OMB 

control number: 0938–1164); Frequency: 

Annually; Affected Public: Private 

Sector, Business or other for-profit and 

not-for-profit institutions; Number of 

Respondents: 480; Number of 

Responses: 1,677; Total Annual Hours: 

170,091. For policy questions regarding 

this collection contact Jiyun Lim at 667– 

290–9650.
