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 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 that 
summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for 
public comment:
    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Cooperative 
Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-facilitated Exchanges; 
Use: Section 1311(i) of the PPACA requires Exchanges to establish a 
Navigator grant program under which it awards grants to eligible 
individuals and entities (as described in Section 1311(i)(2) of the 
PPACA and 45 CFR 155.210(a) and (c)) applying to serve consumers in 
States with a FFE. Navigators assist consumers by providing education 
about and facilitating selection of qualified health plans (QHPs) 
within the Exchanges, as well as other required duties. Entities and 
individuals cannot serve as federally certified Navigators and carry 
out the required duties without receiving federal cooperative agreement 
funding.
    As a condition of award, Navigator awardees must agree to cooperate 
with any Federal evaluation of the program and must provide required 
weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, and final (at the end of the 
cooperative agreement period) reports in a form prescribed by CMS, as 
well as any additional reports as required. Form Number: CMS-10463 (OMB
