the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of 
information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an 
existing collection of information, and to allow a second opportunity

utility of the proposed information collection for the proper 
performance of the agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated 
burden, ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the 
information collection burden.

the OMB desk officer by March 11, 2021.

information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of

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: Extension; Title of 
Information Collection: Health Care Reform Insurance Web Portal; Use: 
Upon collection of the data collection requirements from individual 
States, State health benefits high risk pools, and insurance issuers 
(hereon referred to as issuers), this information is processed by 
contractors for display on the HealthCare.gov website. The information 
that is provided helps the general public make educated decisions about 
their choice in organizations providing private health care insurance. 
Information collected quarterly from insurance issuers is used to 
populate the Plan Finder application to show individuals their options, 
to provide some profile information, and to coordinate the data 
collection with Oversight collections to reduce the burden on issuers 
and the Federal Government. Collecting information consistent with the 
SBC standards allows consumers to access this information in a 
consistent manner. Form Number: CMS-10320 (OMB control number 0938-
1086); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 700; Number of Responses: 
700; Total Annual Hours: 78,675. (For questions regarding this 
collection contact Kimberlee Heckstall at 410-786-1647.)
