OMB, however, doubts whether proposed revisions pertaining to referring and/or ordering physicians should be cleared at this time. Reporting requirements pertaining to certain referring and/or ordering physicians should not be effective until on or after January 1, 1992 pursuant to section 6204 (c) of OBRA 89. Proposals for implementing these requirements should be resubmitted for OMB review no later than 9/91.
