this collection as a result of implementing new requirements
associated with the state engagement coordination. These new
requirements increased the burden by 438 hours. The estimated

hours (from 763 to 364) due to the reduction in the estimated
number of issuers that submit forms for CMS’ review. The estimated
burden related to full disclosure by issuers to all small employers
of materials on all products and other information has decreased by
74 hours (from 848 to due to a reduction in the estimated number of
issuers affected by this requirement. The estimated burden related
to opt-out notices has decreased by 798.5 hours (from 943.5 hours
to 145 hours) due to a reduction in the estimated number of plans
opting out. Although new requirements increased the burden hours by
438 hours, the overall burden hour total has been reduced by hours
(from 2,555 to 1,720) due to the decrease in the number of
respondents (from 983 issuers to 780 issuers).
