Abstract: Section 1311 of the Affordable Care Act provides funding assistance to the States for the planning and establishment of American Health Benefit Exchanges ("Exchanges"). Certain states will be awarded competitive grants in the form of Cooperative Agreements, based on their ability to demonstrate a unique position to use innovative IT approaches for Exchange systems. These participants ("innovator states") will develop the key supporting capabilities for the Exchange(s) and build universally adaptable essential components for their IT systems that could potentially be leveraged by other states and consortia. This will be a two grant project period, which will begin in early Fiscal Year 2011.

Emergency Justfication: Please see the attached emergency justification.
