CMS–10486 Health Care Sharing 

Ministries Information Collection 

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 

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. 

Information Collections 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Health Care 

Sharing Ministries Information 

Collection; Use: In order to facilitate the 

provision of an exemption for 

membership in a health care sharing 

ministry to the members of such 

ministry, we specify in § 155.615(c)(2) 

that an organization that believes that it 

meets the statutory standards to be 

considered a health care sharing 

ministry will submit certain information 

to HHS. We are aware of four 

organizations that have made public 

statements regarding their status as a 

health care sharing ministry, and so 

have estimated burden for four entities. 

The burden associated with this process 

includes the time for the organization to 

collect and input the necessary 

information, maintain a copy for 

recordkeeping by clerical staff, for a 

manager and legal counsel to review it 

and for a senior executive to review and 

sign it. The information would be 

submitted to CMS electronically at 

minimal cost. Form Number: CMS– 

10486 (OCN: 0938–NEW); Frequency: 

Once, Yearly; Affected Public: Private 

sector—not-for-profit institutions; 

Number of Respondents: 4; Number of 

Responses: 4; Total Annual Hours: 4.25.

collection contact Zach Baron at 301–
