Coverage 

CMS–10495 Data Collection and 

Submission, Registration, Attestation, 

Dispute and Resolution, Record 

Retention, and Assumptions 

Document Submission, for Open 

Payments 

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: Minimum 

Essential Coverage; Use: The final rule 

titled ‘‘Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act; Exchange Functions: 

Eligibility for Exemptions; 

Miscellaneous Minimum Essential 

Coverage Provisions,’’ published July 1, 

2013 (78 FR 39494) designates certain 

types of health coverage as minimum 

essential coverage. Other types of 

coverage, not statutorily designated and 

not designated as minimum essential 

coverage in regulation, may be 

recognized by the Secretary of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) as minimum 

essential coverage if certain substantive 

and procedural requirements are met. 

To be recognized as minimum essential 

coverage, the coverage must offer 

substantially the same consumer 

protections as those enumerated in the 

Title I of the Affordable Care Act 

relating to non-grandfathered, 

individual health insurance coverage to 

ensure consumers are receiving 

adequate coverage. The final rule 

requires sponsors of other coverage that 

seek to have such coverage recognized 

as minimum essential coverage to 

adhere to certain procedures. 

Sponsoring organizations must submit 

to HHS certain information about their 

coverage and an attestation that the plan 

substantially complies with the 

provisions of Title I of the Affordable 

Care Act applicable to nongrandfathered individual health 

insurance coverage. Sponsors must also 

provide notice to enrollees informing 

them that the plan has been recognized 

as minimum essential coverage. Form 

Number: CMS–10465 (OMB Control 

Number 0938–1189); Frequency: 

Occasionally; Affected Public: Public 

and Private sectors; Number of 

Respondents: 10; Total Annual 

Responses: 10; Total Annual Hours: 

52.5. (For policy questions regarding 

this collection contact Russell Tipps at 

301–492–4371.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Registration, 

Attestation, Dispute Resolution and 

Correction, Assumptions Document and 

Data Retention Requirements for Open 

Payments; Use: The Patient Protection 

and Affordable Care Act was enacted on 

March 23, 2010 (Pub. L. 111–148). This 

statute amended section 1128 of the 

Social Security Act (the Act) by adding 

a new subsection G that requires 

applicable manufacturers of drugs, 

devices, biologics, or medical supplies 

covered under title XVIII of the Act 

(Medicare) or a State plan under title 

XIX (Medicaid) or XXI of the Act (the 

Children’s Health Insurance Program, or 

CHIP) to report annually to the 

Secretary certain payments or other 

transfers of value to physicians and 

teaching hospitals. Section 1128G of the 

Act also requires applicable 

manufacturers and applicable group 

purchasing organizations (GPOs) to 

report certain information regarding the 

ownership or investment interests held 

by physicians or the immediate family 

members of physicians in such entities,

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 12, 2022 / Notices 21661 

as well as any payments provided to 

such physicians. The submitted 

information facilitates various aspects of 

the program. The information collected 

through the registration process is used 

by CMS to validate registration for 

applicable manufacturers, applicable 

GPOs, covered recipients, and physician 

owners or investors that are registering 

for Open Payments. Details collected 

during the dispute resolution and 

correction process allows CMS to notify 

applicable manufacturers and 

applicable GPOs that a covered 

recipient or physician owner or investor 

is initiating a dispute regarding data 

submitted about them and allow CMS to 

relay the nature of the dispute. The 

assumptions documents submitted by 

applicable manufacturers or applicable 

GPOs assist CMS in providing guidance 

(for example, determining form and 

nature of payment categories, 

calculating the value of a payment, 

determining the date of payment, and 

reporting the terms of an ownership or 

investment interest). Form Number: 

CMS–10495 (OMB control number: 

0938–1237); Frequency: Annually; 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments; Number of Respondents: 

1,612; Total Annual Responses: 1,612; 

Total Annual Hours: 1,920,534. (For 

policy questions regarding this 

collection contact Kathleen Ott at 410–

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

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Student Health 

Insurance Coverage; Use: Under the 

Student Health Insurance Coverage 

Final Rule published March 21, 2012 

(77 FR 16453), student health insurance 

coverage is a type of individual health 

insurance coverage provided pursuant 

to a written agreement between an 

institution of higher education (as 

defined in the Higher Education Act of 

1965) and a health insurance issuer, and 

provided to students who are enrolled 

in that institution and their dependents. 

The Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and 

Payment Parameters for 2017 Final Rule 

provided that, for policy years 

beginning on or after July 1, 2016, 

student health insurance coverage is 

exempt from the actuarial value (AV) 

requirements under section 1302(d) of 

the Affordable Care Act, but must 

provide coverage with an AV of at least 

60 percent. This provision also requires 

issuers of student health insurance 

coverage to specify in any plan 

materials summarizing the terms of the 

coverage the AV of the coverage and the 

metal level (or the next lowest metal 

level) the coverage would otherwise 

satisfy under § 156.140. This disclosure 

will provide students with information 

that allows them to compare the student 

health coverage with other available
