Short Statement:
There are no changes to the EQR protocols. The currently approved information collection request sets out only one ICR. This 2016 iteration corrects the currently approved information collection request by setting out two ICRS: one for states and another for the private sector. Adjustments have been made to account for: (1) changes to the regulations per CMS-2390-F (see table set out below), (2) mathematical errors and estimate revisions in regards to the number of respondents, the type of respondents, annual responses, and annual hour burden, and (3) updated BLS job titles and wages.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$17,214,830
Does this IC contain surveys, censuses, or employ statistical methods?
