Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We previously requested and received approval for total annual burden estimates under this OMB control number for the FY 2025 program year of 28,800 hours at a total cost of $1,221,120. Accounting for updated wage rates, the total cost increases to $1,501,056 as shown in Table 2, a difference of $279,936. While we are updating wage rates, we are not finalizing any policies in the FY 2025 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule which result in a change to our estimated burden. However, we are accounting for the burden of 40 hours at a cost of $2,085 associated with completion of the Measure Exception Form. In aggregate, we estimate a total increase of 40 hours and $282,021 ($279,936 + $2,085). The burden hours are now 28,840 (28,800 hours + 40 hours).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $7,760,700
