Short Statement:
The form contains nonsubstantive changes that are identified in this package's Crosswalk and Track Change (Redline/Strikeout) documents. The burden hours are computed based on relevant available data for Medicare appeals, and those figures are updated annually. Current appeals data indicates that the number of first level appeals has increased since 2011. While the total time to complete the form has not changed, the hourly burden estimates have increased for all respondents due to a greater number of appeals being filed. Our cost estimate has increased, due to an increase in wages since the last collection.
