Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting program changes/increases to this information collection. These program changes are a result of revising this collection to include the information collection requirements for the Connected Care Pilot Program, pursuant to the Report and Order. These program changes increase the total annual responses from 28,020 to 34,623 (+6,603) and total annual burden hours of 173,326 to 198,347 (+25,021). The number of unique respondents does not change. We conclude that the number of respondents under the Connected Care Pilot Program will be a subset of the number of unique respondents under the COVID-19 Telehealth Program. Although there may be applicants who apply to the Connected Care Pilot Program that did not participate in the COVID-19 Telehealth Program, we likewise expect that there will be respondents who applied for the COVID-19 but do not apply for the Connected Care Program. Therefore, we estimate that the number of respondents will not exceed the previously estimated number of unique respondents.
