programs and interventions to improve 

their health, CDC has supported a 

survey of ovarian cancer survivors. 

The goal of this project is to better 

understand the needs of ovarian cancer 

survivors and how to more effectively 

develop interventions targeted to this 

population. To achieve this goal, 

multiple recruitment methods will be 

utilized to recruit this unique 

population of women for the study. By 

using state cancer registries, social 

media advertisements, and respondentdriven sampling (RDS), the study will 

ensure recruit of a diverse population of 

women. 

This study will focus on the following 

research questions: 

1. What physical and mental 

conditions do ovarian cancer survivors 

experience? 

2. What kinds of pharmacologic and 

non-pharmacologic interventions do 

ovarian cancer survivors utilize to 

manage their conditions? 

3. What barriers do ovarian cancer 

survivors have in accessing and 

receiving appropriate diagnostic care, 

treatment, and follow-up care? 

4. What unmet needs do ovarian 

cancer survivors have? 

The overall sample design targets 

1,200 completed interviews. Completed 

surveys will come from more traditional 

sampling utilizing lists from the state 

cancer registries (n = 1,200). This is a 

request for an extension of two years to 

the data collection period. Participation 

in this study is voluntary. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 

1,000. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

CMS–10653 Coverage of Certain 

Preventive Services Under the 

Affordable Care Act 

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. 

Information Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Coverage of 

Certain Preventive Services Under the 

Affordable Care Act; Use: The 2018 final 

regulations titled ‘‘Religious Exemptions 

and Accommodations for Coverage of 

Certain Preventive Services Under the 

Affordable Care Act’’ (83 FR 57536) and 

‘‘Moral Exemptions and 

Accommodations for Coverage of 

Certain Preventive Services Under the 

Affordable Care Act’’ (83 FR 57592) 

expand exemptions for religious beliefs 

and moral convictions for certain 

entities or individuals whose health 

plans may otherwise be subject to a 

mandate of contraceptive coverage 

through guidance issued pursuant to the 

Patient Protection and Affordable Care 

Act. The final regulations extend the 

exemption to health insurance issuers 

that hold religious or moral objections 

in certain circumstances, as well as to 

additional categories of group health 

plan sponsors. 

The 2018 final regulations also leave 

the accommodation process in place as 

an optional process for objecting entities 

who wish to use it, and expand the 

categories of group health plan sponsors 

that may avail themselves of the 

accommodation. To avoid contracting, 

arranging, paying, or referring for 

contraceptive coverage, an organization 

seeking to be treated as an eligible 

organization may self-certify (by using 

EBSA Form 700), prior to the beginning 

of the first plan year to which an 

accommodation is to apply, that it meets 

the definition of an eligible 

organization. The eligible organization 

must provide a copy of its selfcertification to each health insurance 

issuer that would otherwise provide 

such coverage in connection with the 

health plan (for insured group health 

plans or student health insurance 

coverage). The issuer that receives the 

self-certification must provide separate 

payments for contraceptive services for 

plan participants and beneficiaries (or 

students and dependents). For a selfinsured group health plan, the selfcertification must be provided to its 

third party administrator. An eligible 

organization may submit a notification 

to HHS as an alternative to submitting 

EBSA Form 700 to the eligible 

organization’s health insurance issuer or 

third party administrator. A health 

insurance issuer or third party 

administrator providing or arranging 

payments for contraceptive services for 

participants and beneficiaries in plans 

(or student enrollees and covered 

dependents in student health insurance 

coverage) of eligible organizations must 

provide a written notice to such plan 

participants and beneficiaries (or such 

student enrollees and covered 

dependents) informing them of the 

availability of such payments. 

Under the 2018 final regulations, 

eligible organizations can revoke the 

accommodation process if participants 

and beneficiaries (or student enrollees 

and covered dependents) receive 

written notice of such revocation from 

the issuer or third party administrator, 

and such revocation will be effective on 

the first day of the first plan year that 

begins on or after thirty days after the 

date of revocation. Final regulations 

were published in the Federal Register 

on July 14, 2015 (80 FR 41318) under 

which qualifying closely held, for-profit 

entities may avail themselves of the 

accommodation. Previously, this 

accommodation had been available only 

to non-profit eligible organizations. The 

2015 final regulations also finalized the 

2014 interim final regulations that 

permit an eligible organization to notify 

HHS directly that it will not contract, 

arrange, pay, or refer for all or a subset 

of contraceptive services. These 

information collection requirements 

(ICRs) are intended for use under 

whichever accommodation process is in 

effect at the time an entity avails of it 

(for example, the 2018 final regulations, 

or the 2015 final regulations). HHS will 

only implement the ICRs under 

regulations that are legally in effect at 

the time the ICRs are used. Form
