Abstract: 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.

Short Statement: These collection requirements are associated with 45 CFR 155.210 and 155.215. These requirements were finalized as part of a final rulemaking published on May 27, 2014 at 79 FR 30240. No changes are being made to currently approved collection requirements. The revision to this collection is due to the addition of an optional training quality questionnaire at the end of the required initial certification, and annual recertification, trainings. There was also an overall increase in hours due to a mathematical error in the previous submission.
