This emergency
extension is approved through April 30, 1996 with the understanding
that during the next 90 days, HCFA will submit this package and any
relevant amendments for a full Paperwork Reduction Act review by
the public and OMB. OMB emphasizes that this 90-day emergency
clearance only extends OMB approval for those information
collection requirements previously reviewed and cleared by OMB on
January 30, 1995. In addition, OMB expects that the next submission
responds to its previous clearance remarks regarding the burden
imposed by the interim final rule.
