CMS-R-282 Medicare Advantage Appeals and Grievance Data Disclosure 
Requirements and Supporting Regulations (42 CFR 422.111)
CMS-10597 CMS Healthcare.gov Site Wide Online Survey

    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.

Medicare Advantage Appeals and Grievance Data Disclosure Requirements

demonstrations are required to collect and disclose information 
pertaining to the number of disputes, and their disposition in the 
aggregate, with the categories of grievances and appeals to any 
individual eligible to elect an MA organization who requests this

Healthcare.gov Site Wide Online Survey; Use: The purpose of the survey 
is to gain an understanding of user experience, comprehension, and 
satisfaction with using the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace Web 
site established by the Affordable Care Act. The Marketplace provides 
coverage to uninsured Americans, as well as those already enrolled in 
Marketplace health insurance. One of the ways to purchase Marketplace 
insurance is through the online tools on HealthCare.gov. We have 
developed a survey to be administered to consumers while they are using 
the Web site. This survey is part of a continuing data collection 
program mandated by the ACA. It is designed to support the program goal 
to provide tools and information to help consumers to successfully find 
health insurance that they may not otherwise qualify for or find. 
Monitoring usability and the user experience through this ongoing 
survey provides the Web site developers with valuable information for 
use in continuous improvement of the Web site. The Web site survey is 
part of a larger research program to inform the development and 
enhancement of web tools for CMS programs such as the Health Insurance 
Marketplace. Form Number: CMS-10597 (OMB control number: 0938--New); 
Frequency: Weekly, Monthly, Occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals 
or Households; Number of Respondents: 14,000; Total Annual Responses:
