Abstract: In response to past terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and the subsequent national need to refine the nation’s strategy to handle emergency situations, there continues to be a coordinated effort across Federal agencies to establish a foundation for development and expansion of emergency preparedness systems. This information collection captures the burden necessary to support the development and implementation of emergency preparedness requirements that will be consistent and enforceable across 17 affected Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers. We obtained the data used in this discussion on the number of the various Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers from Medicare’s Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting (CASPER) as of , 2015.June 1, 2016. We have not included data for health care facilities that are not Medicare and/or Medicaid certified. This information collection consists primarily of the review, revision, and/or development of emergency plans, policies and procedures, and training and testing materials to ensure on-going compliance with the requirements contained in the regulation, discussed above.
