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 (PRA), federal agencies are required to publish notice in 
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 
for public comment on the notice. Interested persons are invited to 
send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this 
collection of information, including the necessity and 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 information to be 
collected, and the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection 
burden.

DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of information must be received by 
the OMB desk officer by May 24, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
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: Reinstatement without 
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information 
Collection: Generic Clearance for Evaluation of Stakeholder Training--
Health Insurance Marketplace and Market Stabilization Programs; Use: 
CMS is strongly committed to providing appropriate education and 
technical outreach to States, issuers, self-insured group health plans 
and third-party administrators (TPA) participating in the Marketplace 
and/or market stabilization programs mandated by the ACA. CMS continues 
to engage with stakeholders in the Marketplace to obtain input through 
Satisfaction Surveys following Stakeholder Training events. The survey 
results will help to determine stakeholders' level of satisfaction with 
trainings, identify any issues with training and technical assistance 
delivery, clarify stakeholders' needs and preferences, and define best 
practices for training and technical assistance. CMS will continue to 
modify, enhance and develop forms for future years based on feedback 
from Stakeholders. Form Number: CMS-10598 (OMB control number: 0938-
1331); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Private Sector; Number
