ONC will select the best qualified accreditation organization as the ONC-AA based on the information that must be submitted to be considered for ONC-AA status. The required information will be used to assess an accreditation organization's qualifications and abilities to be the ONC-AA.

Short Statement:
This is a revision to a collection of information previously approved by OMB under control number 0990-0378. We propose to revise the approved collection of information by requiring ONC-ACBs to include one additional data element in the set of data they are required to provide on the Complete EHRs and EHR Modules they report as certified to ONC under ยง 170.523(f). We believe this additional element is important to increase transparency in the testing and certification processes and would serve to make more information available to prospective purchasers of CEHRT as well as other stakeholders. We do not believe that this proposed requirement will cause ONC-ACBs to incur any more costs than the costs we originally estimated for posting a list of all certified Complete EHRs and EHR Modules (with the requested information) on our website (i.e., the CHPL). We estimated those costs at $10,784 on an annualized basis (76 FR 1323). Regarding the potential burden of this proposed new requirement, we estimate that ONC-ACBs will incur an additional 20 minutes of work per week. Accordingly, this new proposed new collection of information will add a total of 103 burden hours to our burden estimate under OMB control number 0990-0378.
