On May 23, 2011, CMS published a final rule with comment period (76 FR 29964) to implement the annual review of unreasonable increases in premiums for health insurance coverage called for by section 2794. Under the regulation, if CMS determines that a state has an effective rate review program in a given market, using the criteria set forth in the rule, CMS will adopt that state's determinations regarding whether rate increases in that market are unreasonable, provided that the state reports its final determinations to CMS and explains the bases of its determinations. The final rule titled "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Health Insurance Market Rules; Rate Review" (78 FR 13406, February 27, 2013) amends the standards under the rate review program. Currently, CMS relies on publicly available information and annual calls with individual States to obtain the information needed to determine whether a State has an effective rate review program. CMS is proposing to instead collect the information in writing from all States that would like to request effective status.

All instruments and burden estimates associated with Cycle I, II, and III have been deleted as the data collection requirements do not apply to the Cycle IV grant program. As a result of this revision the number of responses decreased by 1,239. The number of hours decreased by 49,240. Changes to the application process for Cycle IV will reduce the burden from that in Cycle III by one hour (from 160 to 159) per application. The burden for preparing and submitting the application was updated to reflect that applicants are no longer required to obtain a letter from the Governor or independently-elected Insurance Commissioner as part of the application process. This requirement was eliminated in the Cycle IV application process. There will be additional burden related to Cycle IV. We estimate that the one-time burden related to grant applications will be 6,678 hours or $6,154 and the annual burden related to reporting is estimated to be 14,028 hours or $724,094. The additional burden related to the Effective Rate Review Program is estimated to be 245 hours or $15,658.81 annually.
