Abstract: Information collected as a part of the application for this grant will be used to evaluate the applications and determine awardees. Information collected pursuant to the reporting requirements for awardees will be used to evaluate the progress of States in planning for and implementing Exchanges, and determine how the Secretary can provide assistance to achieve the goals of the grant program and the Affordable Care Act.

Emergency Justfication: Public harm is reasonably likely to ensue if the normal clearance procedures are followed. Existing collections gather information from the grant awardee to ensure the CMS is able to conduct their statutory oversight responsibilities. The revision is necessary to obtain more accurate and consistent enrollment data during the upcoming Open Enrollment Period which begins November 15, 2014. The immediate need for this revision is due to the State-Based Marketplaces (SBM) maturing business processes and the requirement for more precise reporting of comparison data between the first and second years of ACA implementation. Of particular concern is the need to capture certain demographic data and information on new versus re-enrolled individuals in accordance with uniform definitions so as not to produce misleading results. A delay in finalizing this ICR will result in key data being unavailable to CMS during the 2014 Open Enrollment Period. CMS will not be able to use the data to provide technical and policy mid-course corrections to the State Exchanges during the Open Enrollment Period.
