Abstract: Section 10201(i) of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) added provisions under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act to require the Secretary to publish no later than 180 days after the enactment of this act, regulations that establish application requirements for demonstration projects. Under section 10201(i) of ACA the Secretary must establish a process for public notice and comment at the State level, and at the federal level after an application for a demonstration project is received by the Secretary. In addition, the Secretary must implement reporting requirements for States, establish a process for the periodic evaluation of demonstration projects and report annually to Congress on the implementation of previously approved demonstration projects. This collection would address the provisions required under Sections 10201(i) of the Affordable Care Act.

Short Statement: In this 2021 collection of information request some of our burden estimates have been adjusted to account for more recent respondent figures. The adjustments are based on the recent workload (i.e., based on the number of section 1115 actions submitted by states) and are not associated with any regulatory or statutory change nor on any specific policy change. All our total cost estimates have been further adjusted by +$6.86/hr to account for the most recent BLS wage data. Overall, we propose an increase of 23 respondents, 103 responses, 17,782 hours, and $2,196,688.
