OPM solicited feedback on the MSPP from stakeholders by issuing a Request for Information (RFI) on June 16, 2011. In addition to the RFI, OPM has held meetings and phone calls with stakeholders to seek input and guidance while drafting the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). OPM also published a draft issuer application on Federal Business Opportunities website on September 20, 2012 and solicited comments from the public. The draft application, Solicitation Number: OPM35-12-R-0006, can be viewed on the Federal Business Opportunities website available at
MSPP Draft Application. We are reviewing those comments and will issue a final application soon.
In addition, OPM leadership has met with staff from the National Indian Health Board and National Council of Urban Indian Health to solicit feedback from Tribes. OPM is also leveraging existing relationships with Tribes by coordinating with staff that handles coverage of Tribal employees in the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program. OPM will also coordinate with HHS in its communication with Tribal Leaders on the Affordable Care Act.
