second opportunity for public comment on the notice. Interested persons 
are invited to send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other

utility of the proposed information collection for the proper 
performance of the agency's functions, the accuracy of the estimated

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 of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Summary of 
Benefits and Coverage and Uniform Glossary; Use: This information 
collection will ensure that over 30 million consumers shopping for or 
enrolled in private, individually purchased, or non-federal 
governmental group health plan coverage receive the consumer 
protections of the Affordable Care Act. Employers, employees, and 
individuals will use this information to compare coverage options prior 
to selecting coverage and to understand the terms of, and extent of 
medical benefits offered by, their coverage (or exceptions to such 
coverage or benefits) once they have coverage. Form Number: CMS-10407 
(OMB control number 0938-1146); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: 
Private Sector--Business or other for-profits and not-for-profit 
institutions; Number of Respondents: 90,805; Number of Responses: 
10,507,165; Total Annual Hours: 204,140. (For policy questions 
regarding this collection contact Daniel Kidane at 
[email protected].)
    2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently 
approved collection; Title: Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the 
Elderly (PACE); Use: PACE is a pre-paid, capitated plan that provides 
comprehensive health care services to frail, older adults in the 
community, who are eligible for nursing home care according to state 
standards. PACE programs must provide all Medicare and Medicaid covered 
services; financing of this model is accomplished through prospective 
capitation of both Medicare and Medicaid payments. Upon approval of a 
PACE application, CMS executes a three-way program agreement with the 
applicant entity and the applicable state. With certain exceptions, 
this information collection addresses all operational components of the 
PACE program, as defined in 42 CFR part 460. Form Number: CMS-R-244 
(OMB control number: 0938-0790); Frequency: Once and occasionally; 
Affected Public: Private sector (business or other for profits and not-
for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 179; Total Annual 
Responses: 121,407; Total Annual Hours: 97,069. (For policy questions 
regarding this collection contact Lauren Brandow at 410-786-9765.)
