Short Statement:
Section 9010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Public Law No. 111-148 (124 Stat. 119 (2010)), as amended by section 10905 of PPACA, and as further amended by section 1406 of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law 111-152 (124 Stat. 1029 (2010)) (collectively "the ACA") imposes an annual fee on health insurance providers that provide health insurance for United States health risks (a covered entity). The final regulations describe how the IRS will administer the health insurance providers fee. Members of a controlled group are treated as a single covered entity. The proposed regulations generally allow members of a controlled group to designate a single entity to report on their behalf and section 57.2(e)(2) requires each member to maintain a record of its consent to the designated entity. This information collection covered under this request are the recordkeeping requirements prescribed in §57.2(e)(2) that each member of a controlled group are to maintain records of consent to the controlled group's selection of the designated entity. The burden associated with the reporting requirements under §57.3 which prescribe the use of Form 8963, "Report of Health Insurance Provider Information," are not available at this time and clearance will be requested at a later date once the information is released.
