SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

    1. Title: Affordable Care Act Internal Claims and Appeals and 
External Review Disclosures.
    OMB Control Number: 1545-2182.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Description: Section 2719 of the Public Health Service Act, 
incorporated into Code section 9815 by section 1563(f) of the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, requires group 
health plans and issuers of group health insurance coverage, in 
connection with internal appeals of claims denials, to provide 
claimants free of charge with any evidence relied upon in deciding the 
appeal that was not relied on in making the initial denial of the 
claim. This is a third-party disclosure requirement. Individuals 
appealing a denial of a claim should be able to respond to any new 
evidence the plan or issuer relies on in the appeal, and this 
disclosure requirement is essential so that the claimant knows of the 
new evidence.
    Regulation Project Number: REG-125592-10 (TD 9494).
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,769,264.

    2. Title: PTIN Supplemental Application for U.S. Citizens Without A 
Social Security Number Due To Conscientious Religious Objection.
    OMB Control Number: 1545-2188.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Description: Form 8945 is used by U. S. citizens who are members of 
certain recognized religious groups that want to prepare tax returns 
for compensation. Most individuals applying for a Preparer Tax 
Identification Number (PTIN) will have a social security number, which 
will be used to help establish their identity. However, there exists a 
population of U.S. residents that are religious objectors and do not 
have social security numbers. Form 8945 was created to assist that 
population in establishing their identity while applying for a PTIN.

    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.
