Title: ●Affordable Care Act Waiver for State Innovation; Review and Approval Process 
Abstract: The Affordable Care Act requires that the Secretary issue regulations regarding the Waiver for State Innovation. This regulation provides a process for public notice and comment at the State level, including public hearings, sufficient to ensure a meaningful level of public input; a process for the submission of an application that ensures the disclosure of the provisions of law that the state involved seeks to waive and the specific plans of the State to ensure that the waiver will be in compliance with subsection (b) of section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act; a process for providing public notice and comment after the application is received by the Secretary, that is sufficient to ensure a meaningful level of public input and that does not impose requirements that are in addition to, or duplicative of, requirements imposed under the Administrative Procedures Act, or requirements that are unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome with respect to state compliance; a process for the submission to the Secretary of periodic reports by the state concerning the implementation of the program under the waiver; and a process for the periodic evaluation by the Secretary of the program under the waiver.
