Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The July 5, 2017, Final Rule (82 FR 31158) shifted costs and a significant hourly burden for conducting eligibility reviews from states (MEQC) to the Federal Government and its contractors (PERM). However, these changes would be largely offset by Federal government savings in reduced payments to states in matching funds. Hourly burden for states was significantly reduced due to the removal of the MEQC collection from the submission, which was estimated at 912,164 hours (946,164 total hours in most recent approved package, less PERM estimate of 34,000 Hours). MEQC has created a separate burden estimate for activities within CMS-319 OMB Control # - 0938-0147. Current burden estimate includes additional burden for inclusion of Puerto Rico in the amount of 2,000 hours for a total burden estimate of 36,000 hours. Prior approved cost of $26,044,672 has been reduced to $2,315,520 for a total of $23,729,152 reduction due to labor rate changes and reduction of hours mentioned.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $46,000,000
