SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 27, 2020, the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA), which 

includes the No Surprises Act, was 

signed into law. The No Surprises Act 

provides Federal protections against 

surprise billing and limits out-ofnetwork cost sharing under many of the 

circumstances in which surprise bills 

arise most frequently. Section 102 of the 

No Surprises Act added Code section 

9816, ERISA section 716, and PHS Act 

section 2799A–1, which contain 

limitations on cost sharing and 

requirements for initial payments for 

emergency services. In addition, Section 

103 of the No Surprises Act amended 

Code section 9816, ERISA section 716, 

and PHS Act section 2799A–1 to 

establish a Federal independent dispute 

resolution (Federal IDR) process that 

nonparticipating providers or facilities 

and group health plans and health 

insurance issuers in the group and 

individual market may use following 

the end of an unsuccessful open 

negotiation period to determine the outof-network rate for certain services. The 

Federal IDR process requires a number 

of disclosures from plans, issuers, FEHB 

carriers, and nonparticipating providers 

or nonparticipating emergency facilities. 

For additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 9, 2021 (86 FR 62206). On 

April 5, 2022, the Department of Labor 

submitted another emergency request to 

revise the ICR to remove language to be 

consistent with the federal court ruling 

in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern 

District of Texas on the Interim Final 

Rule, Requirements Related to Surprise 

Billing; Part II (Texas Medical 

Association v. HHS). The ICR Revision 

was approved by OMB on April 11, 

2022. The Departments welcome 

comments on those revisions. For 

additional substantive information, see 

the related submission at https://
