Abstract:
On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was also signed into law. The two laws collectively are referred to as the Affordable Care Act . The Affordable Care Act created State-based health insurance Exchanges (Marketplaces), competitive marketplaces where consumers and small businesses can purchase private health insurance. Consumers who access health insurance coverage through a Marketplace can receive direct assistance from Navigators authorized to help consumers through the registration, eligibility determination, and plan selection process as they enroll in coverage. Section 1311(i) requires that a Marketplace establish a Navigator program under which it awards grants to individuals or entities who satisfy the requirements to be Exchange Navigators. Navigators will assist consumers by providing education about and facilitating selection of qualified health plans (QHPs) within Exchanges, as well as other required duties. For Federally-facilitated Marketplaces (FFMs) and State Partnership Marketplaces (SPMs), CMS will be awarding these grants.

Short Statement:
CMS has required additional reporting requirements (weekly and monthly) that should result in minimal burden adjustments. The burden adjustments have been modified to accommodate more time for data collection for the weekly and monthly reporting requirements. The Navigator Prevention Fund Bi-Annual Report was a one-time data collection during the 2013 grant cycle. The bi-annual reports are no longer being collected and therefore, the associated burden has been removed. The overall burden has decreased due to a reduction in the number of respondents, from 264 to 99 respondents, to more accurately reflect the number of applications anticipated for review.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
