Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services 

[Document Identifiers: CMS–10371] 

Emergency Clearance: Public 

Information Collection Requirements 

Submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on CMS’ intention to collect 

information from the public. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the 

PRA), federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information. Interested persons are 

invited to send comments regarding our 

burden estimates or any other aspect of 

this collection of information, including 

any of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

We are, however, requesting an 

emergency review of the information 

collection referenced below. In 

compliance with the requirement of 

section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, we have 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) the following 

requirements for emergency review. 

This is necessary to ensure compliance 

with an initiative of the Administration. 

We are requesting an emergency review 

under 5 CFR Part 1320(a)(2)(i) because 

public harm is reasonably likely to 

result if the normal clearance 

procedures are followed. We are seeking 

emergency approval for modifications to 

the information collection request (ICR) 

currently approved under Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number 0938–1119 in order to 

collection additional information during 

the 2015 open enrollment periods from 

the 14 operational SBMs (including 

Washington, DC) to enhance the 

agency’s understanding of the 

demographic makeup of the citizens 

enrolling in the various health plans as 

well as the affordability of those plans. 

Existing collections gather information 

from the grant awardee to ensure the 

CMS is able to conduct their statutory 

oversight responsibilities. The revision 

to the weekly reporting requirement is 

necessary to obtain more accurate and 

consistent enrollment data during the 

upcoming Open Enrollment Period 

which begins November 15, 2014. The 

immediate need for this revision is due 

to the State-Based Marketplaces (SBM) 

maturing business processes and the 

requirement for more precise reporting 

of comparison data between the first 

and second years of ACA 

implementation. The changes to the 

revised format of the Weekly Report 

have been presented to all participating 

states. CMS is requesting an emergency 

modification to the weekly reporting 

template in order to capture certain 

demographic data and information on 

new versus re-enrolled individuals in 

accordance with uniform definitions so 

as not to produce misleading results.
