Short Statement:
Section 433.72 of the CMS-2393-P (RIN 0938-AT50) rule proposes to add a period of validity for tax waivers of the broad-based and/or uniformity requirements, which states that waivers will cease to be effective 3 years from CMS’ approval in the case of tax programs commencing on or after the rule’s effective date or 3 years from the rule’s effective date in the case of waivers approved before the rule’s effective date. This change is necessary because the provider data submitted by states to CMS, for use in the statistical tests described at § 433.68, may change over time. As a result, the tax may be generally redistributive as required by statute and regulation when the state requests the waiver, but may subsequently cease to be so. Currently there are approximately 35 states that have broad based or uniformity waivers. We propose to allow states with existing health care-related tax waivers up to 3-years from the effective date of the final rule before they must seek re-approval. This will provide states sufficient time to evaluate and, if necessary, modify existing tax programs. The ongoing burden associated with the proposed requirements consists of the time it would take each state that has an existing tax waiver to submit an updated version within 3-years after the effective date of the final rule and to update the waiver every 3 years. Of the 35 states with tax waivers, we estimate that there are approximately 60 tax waivers that will have to be renewed every 3 years, or about 20 tax waivers renewed per year by various states (0.4 tax waiver renewals per year per state). Please note that the proposed waiver requirements are minimal, as states are already required to monitor and update their tax waivers to ensure compliance with federal requirements. We estimate it would take 2 hours at $38.84/hr for a healthcare support worker to prepare and submit an updated tax waiver. In aggregate we estimate an ongoing annual burden of 40 hours (20 tax waiver renewals per year x 2 hr/renewal) at a cost of $1,554 (40 hr x $38.84/hr) or $78 per waiver ($1,554/20 waivers). This information collection request is a revision to include the method in which states submit quarterly summary information on the source and use of all provider-related donations and health care-related taxes collected in accordance with section 42 CFR 433.74. We have also updated our cost estimates by $9,806 (from $116,032 to $125,838) by using more recent BLS wage data (+$2.58/hr from $36.26/hr to $38.84/hr) and by considering the proposed provision.
