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 the necessity and utility of the 
proposed information collection for the proper performance of the 
agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated burden, ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected, and 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 October 30, 2024.

information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of

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. Title of Information Collection: Program Integrity II; Type of 
Information Collection Request: Extension without change of a currently 
approved collection; Use: On March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and 
Affordable Care Act (PPACA; Pub. L. 111-148) was signed 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 rule CMS-9957-P: 
Program Integrity: Exchanges, SHOP, Premium Stabilization Programs, and 
Market Standards (78 FR 37302) (Program 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 information collection request 
relates to a portion of the information collection requirements set 
forth in the final rule. Form Number: CMS-10516 (OMB control number: 
0938-1277); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector, 
State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Business or other for-profits, and
