Abstract:
On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Pub. L. 111-152, collectively referred to as "The Affordable Care Act." The Affordable Care Act expands access to health insurance coverage through improvements to the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance (CHIP) programs, the establishment of Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), and the assurance of coordination between Medicaid, CHIP, and Exchanges. Through the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP), the new Exchanges will assist qualified small employers in facilitating the enrollment of their employees in Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) offered in the small group market. The Exchanges, which will offer these QHPs, will become operational on January 1, 2014. Employers will be able to begin applying for coverage through the SHOP October 1, 2013, for coverage beginning as early as January 1, 2014. The employer's application for the SHOP will be a single, streamlined form that will be used to determine employer eligibility for the SHOP. The submission seeks OMB approval of the data collection elements needed to support eligibility determinations for small businesses in the SHOP.

Short Statement:
Burden hours have decreased (from 960 to 336) due to a reduction in the estimated number of respondents. Since publication of the last package, no updates have been made in regulation concerning what information should be collected on the single employer application to determine employer eligibility under 45 CFR ยง155.731. There is an overall decrease in the financial burden from the 2019 PRA package because of a decrease in the number of respondents and burden hours. The number of respondents decreased from 6,000 to 2,100 annually, a decrease of 3,900 respondents.
