Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain

collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term
``collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires federal agencies
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.

Healthcare.gov Site Wide Online Survey; Use: The purpose of the survey
is to gain an understanding of user experience, comprehension, and
satisfaction with using the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace Web
site established by the Affordable Care Act. The Marketplace provides
coverage to uninsured Americans, as well as those already enrolled in
Marketplace health insurance. One of the ways to purchase Marketplace
insurance is through the online tools on HealthCare.gov. We have
developed a survey to be administered to consumers while they are using
the Web site. This survey is part of a continuing data collection
program mandated by the ACA. It is designed to support the program goal
to provide tools and information to help consumers to successfully find
health insurance that they may not otherwise qualify for or find.
Monitoring usability and the user experience through this ongoing
survey provides the Web site developers with valuable information for
use in continuous improvement of the Web site. The Web site survey is
part of a larger research program to inform the development and
enhancement of web tools for CMS programs such as the Health Insurance
Marketplace. Form Number: CMS-10597 (OMB control number: 0938--New);
Frequency: Weekly, Monthly, Occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals
