Short Statement: The previous burden hours were 5,344. The burden hours have increased from 5,344 to 5,359. It is important to note that the current burden hours and cost values were obtained from the accreditation organizations and exempt States based on their experience. The accreditation organizations and exempt States email the data to CMS as part of the information collection request process. Based on the data received, CMS updates the information collection request accordingly. As part of the update process, we have also updated the cost values to include the use of 100% of the hourly wage to account for fringe and overhead. The revised requirement for the AO/ESs to update their policies and procedures is a one-time cost, and is not recurring. It will be a one-time increase of 15 burden hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $3,500
