The existing
contractor budget and cost reporting system forms, as well as the
new schedule G on fraud and abuse, are cleared for use through
6/93. Because the Federal Register notice dated September 21, 1992
referenced this package as a reinstatement and not a revision, OM
is concerned that the public has not been offered full opportunity
to consider revisions initiated by HCFA during OMB's review. For
this reason, OMB clears these requirements for a limited period,
pending full public notice and comment. No later than 3/93, HCFA
must publish a notice in the Federal Register: 1) soliciting public
comment on the new fraud and abuse schedule G; and 2) announcing
submission of the package for OMB review. HCFA's next submission
for OMB review must include a summary of public comment received
pursuant to the burden disclosure statement on schedule G, as well
as an evaluation of any field experience. HCFA must submit this
package to OMB no later than 3/93.
