Abstract:
CMS is working with States (including the District of Columbia and the territories) to establish Exchanges in every State. The law gives States the opportunity to establish State-based Exchanges, subject to approval that the State-based Exchange meets federal standards and will be ready to offer health care coverage on January 1, 2014. The deadline for Exchange approval is January 1, 2013. In a State that does not achieve Exchange approval by the deadline, the law directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to facilitate the establishment of an Exchange in that State. States will apply for approval or conditional approval of their State Exchange in the Fall of 2012 with decisions made on January 1, 2013.

Short Statement:
The overall burden hours have decreased from 5,552 hours to 221 hours, a total reduction of -5,301 hours. Based on the changing nature of the states’ approaches to meeting the requirements of the ACA and changes in delivery format, there has been a significant reduction in the time it takes to complete the data collection. CMS has converted many of the information requirements on the Blueprint application from full explanations with uploads of supporting documents, requiring significant levels of effort to produce, to a more streamlined “attestations” based Blueprint application with few uploads of supporting documents developed for other purposes. In addition, the number of respondents have decreased from 31 to 7.
