Abstract: The Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA creates new competitive private health insurance markets - referred to as State-based Marketplaces (SBMs) - that will give millions of Americans and small businesses access to affordable healthcare coverage. HHS provides oversight and monitoring of SBMs to ensure they maintain adequate operational systems. Effective and efficient oversight of Marketplaces will help ensure that affordable and quality health coverage is available to all Americans through monitoring, reporting, and oversight of financial and other Marketplace activities. The SMAR is the primary vehicle to insure comprehensive compliance with all reporting requirements contained in the ACA and applicable Federal Regulations. It is specifically called for in Section 1313(a)(1) of the Act which requires an SBM to keep an accurate accounting of all activities, receipts, and expenditures, and to submit a report annually to the Secretary concerning such accounting. Instructions governing specific facets of the activities covered by the report are contained both in the Act and in various sections of applicable Federal Regulations. CMS has designed the SMAR to reduce the data collection to the maximum extent possible. While it is intended as a comprehensive compliance review to ensure SBM are fulfilling their statutory requirements, very little additional data gathering is required to complete the form. The respondents can answer most questions by attestations and uploading existing documents. Respondents complete the report entirely online.

Short Statement: OMB previously approved this information collection in July 2014, with a total of 1,331 burden hours for 19 SBMs. Since the original approval, there have been two non-substantial changes approvals. The following changes have been made to the information collection: removal of the Executive Summary, State Blueprint Profiles, and Technology, Privacy and Security sections, and converting eligibility and enrollment and consumer assistance tool information from the Exchange Final Rule information collection and performance monitoring data information from the Establishment Grant information collection into attestations. This revision amends the total number of SBMs and SBM-FPs from 19 to 17 to reflect the current number of respondents. As a result, there is a total reduction of 138 hours.
