Navigators as well as non-Navigator
assistance personnel fulfilling the requirements of 45 CFR
?155.205(d) and (e) in Federally-facilitated Exchanges have to
provide an attestation to the Exchange that they are not ineligible
to serve as a Navigator or non-Navigator assistance personnel. In
addition, Navigators and non-Navigator assistance project leads
have to prepare and submit a plan for mitigating conflicts of
interest during their term as a Navigator grantee or non-Navigator
assistance personnel. This mitigation plan is only required on a
per entity basis, not a per individual basis. Navigators will
include attestation information within their grant application
through previously approved OMB covered forms, and as such, the
burden for Navigators providing this information is not calculated
in this PRA. Navigators and non-Navigator assistance personnel are
required to provide information to eligible consumers about the
full range of QHP options and insurance affordability programs for
which they may be eligible. A disclosure to the Exchange and each
consumer receiving assistance, about certain non-prohibited
conflicts of interest, are required by Navigators and non-Navigator
assistance personnel. Prior to performing any Navigator or
non-Navigator assistance personnel duties, individuals are required
to register for training as a prerequisite to becoming certified.
After their first year performing their required duties, they will
be required to be recertified. Navigators and non-Navigator
assistance personnel are required to maintain proof of their
certification or recertification.
There is a burden increase as a
result of adding information collection requirements associated
with 45 CFR 155.210 and 155.215. These requirements were proposed
in CMS-9949 (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Exchange
and Insurance Market Standards for 2015 and Beyond). No changes are
being made to currently approved collection requirements. The total
hour burden increased from 528,678 hours to 1,214,074 for a total
increase of 785,396 hours.
