Improperly submitted 05/10/1996
Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA) 03/19/1996
OMB returns this HCFA submission as improperly submitted for several reasons: 1) the package sent to OMB and available for public comment does not contain the UB-92 instructions and electronic file structures; 2) the package available for public scrutiny during the agency's 60-day review and the package sent to OMB did not contain all available materials regarding compliance with OMB's previous remarks on the collection of race/ethnicity data (e.g. the OMB clearance number and a copy of HCFA's targetted survey effort and HCFA's Action Plan submitted to OMB. These materials would demonstrate to the public the extent to which HCFA complied with OMB's remarks.);and 3) the package submitted to OMB requests approval for the use of the UB-92 not only for HCFA, but for the CHAMPUS, other DoD, and Indian Health Service programs. HCFA attempts to account for the burden in these programs in this submission. Although OMB may agree with the expanded use of the UB-92 by other Federal programs, OMB is unable to approve such use as presented by HCFA. In its 60-day notice, HCFA did not explain that this submission would seek approval for UB-92 use by three additional programs. The public was denied the opportunity to comment on these uses. To address this last issue, HCFA must proceed with one of the following strategies: 1) resubmit this package for 60-day and OMB review, clearly stating to the public that this submission covers other agency uses. The submission must include all relevant and current agency-specific instructions, electronic file structures, etc. and applicable burden/cost estimates; 2) amend this submission to cover only HCFA uses and proceed with a 60-day agency review before resubmitting to OMB. Other user agencies should submit their own packages including their own instructions, electronic file structures, burden/cost estimates, etc. OMB will assist HCFA in explaining the necessary PRA procedures to these agencies; or 3) the same as option 2, except HCFA amends this package to cover all HHS component uses, including IHS.
