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:

approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Program

Parameters for 2014; Final Rule II; Use: On March 23, 2010, the Patient

into law and on March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education 
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-152) was signed into law. The 
two laws implement various health insurance policies. On June 19, 2013, 
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published proposed

Integrity Proposed Rule) which, among other things, contained third 
party disclosure requirements and data collections that supported the 
oversight of premium stabilization programs, State Exchanges, and 
qualified health plan (QHP) issuers in Federally-facilitated Exchanges 
(FFEs). Parts of the proposed rule were finalized as Patient Protection 
and Affordable Care Act; Program Integrity: Exchange, Premium 
Stabilization Programs, and Market Standards; Amendments to the HHS 
Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2014; Final Rule (Program 
Integrity Final Rule II), 78 FR 25326 (October 24, 2013). This ICR
