Abstract: Pursuant to section 2793(d) of the Public Health Services Act (PHSA), as amended by Section 1002 of the ACA, as a condition for receiving the consumer assistance program grant, programs must collect and report data to the Secretary on the types of problems and inquiries encountered by consumers. Accordingly, program staff will need a system to maintain case files that will track these types of problems and inquiries. Problems and inquiries will be summarized and will be reported to HHS. By law, the user of the summary data is the Secretary of HHS and will be used for oversight. Further, ACA dictates that the Secretary will share these reports with the Department of Labor and Treasury, and with State insurance regulators for use in enforcement.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Reporting requirements have not changed and there are no changes to the estimated annual time burden per respondent, except to correct previous calculation errors. However, due to changes in 2014 legislation, specifically, 2793 of the PHS Act (Section 1002 of the ACA), the number of respondents is decreasing from 56 to 51 respondents, excluding five Territories. The Act excludes all five territories as they no longer fall under the definition of “state”. As of 2014, these respondents are no longer eligible to apply for any programs under the ACA. As a result, the total annual time burden estimate hours decreased from 16,184 to 11,883. In addition, the estimated annual cost burden is increased per respondent to account for wage inflation, but the overall annual cost burden is decreased due to fewer possible grantees.
