    This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated 
with the following information collections. More detailed information 
can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated 
materials (see ADDRESSES).

CMS-10320 Health Care Reform Insurance Web Portal Requirements 45 CFR 
Part 159

    Under the 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 60-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.

Reform Insurance Web Portal Requirements 45 CFR part 159; Use: In 
accordance with sections 1103 and 10102 of The Patient Protection and 
Affordability Care Act, Public Law 111-148 (2010) (Affordable Care Act) 
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is tasked with 
developing and implementing an internet website portal to assist 
consumers with identifying affordable and comprehensive health 
insurance coverage options that are available in their State. 
Consistent with minimizing burden and providing consistency in data 
collection, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updates 
its HealthCare.gov collection requirements as regulatory developments
