HCFA should evaluate burden not only by size of the employer but also to the maxim extent possible by the nature of the business and its daily operations 2) Tracking of actual Federal savings after contractor collections and the Federal and private costs incurred through related activities such as litigation, record retrieval, etc.; and 3) Ongoing refinement of the data match to ensure that Federal savings exceed private and public administrative costs. HCFA should meet with OMB no later than 12/91 to discuss its sampling methodology and implementation plan. Pursuant to this plan, if deemed appropriate HCFA should submit a revised burden and cost estimate as well as alternative criteria for targetting employees and firms.
