Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: The burden associated with this ICR is decreasing and adjusted by annualizing the one-time burden estimates. For this approval period, the burden estimates have been updated by removing the estimates that were related to Round 2 and updating the estimates for the implementation of Round 1 2017. The burden estimates to develop and send the 30-day notification to beneficiaries for Round 1 has changed from the previous version because we estimate that there will be more beneficiaries who reside in a CBA and will be renting DME and oxygen competitively bid items at the start of Round 1 2017. This increases the time required to develop and send the notification. Additionally, the cost to the supplier to develop and send the notifications has increased as the median hourly wage for clerical staff has increased according to the May 2014 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
