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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimate for web-brokers and QHP issuers utilizing the Classic DE and EDE pathways to differentially display standardized options consistent with HealthCare.gov in the current collection is lower than the estimate in the previously discontinued collection, primarily due to the lower number of entities subject to this requirement in the current collection. The burden estimate in the previously discontinued collection did not include an estimate for allowing web-brokers and QHP issuers utilizing the Classic DE and EDE pathways to submit a request to deviate from the manner in which standardized options are differentially displayed on HealthCare.gov, so this aspect of the burden estimate is slightly higher in the current collection. The total burden hours estimate reduced from 320 to 275 annually, a change of 45 hours.
