Title: Qualification Application and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR, Section 417.408 and 417.143
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 11/03/2000
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/01/2000
Terms of Clearance: Approval based on revised Form 83-I and supporting statement, as emailed on 10/30/00, with subsequent corrections of mathematical errors as confirmed by email 11/01/00. Revisions reflect recognition of application fees as a cost burden. In addition, notwithstanding the initial confirmation in the 10/30 email of a belief in the accuracy of 100% as the percentage of responses collected electronically, this has been changed to 50% as agreed by phone 10/31. HCFA should note that under GPEA, responses required to be submitted in "three-ring looseleaf binders" are not considered electronic submissions. Also, HCFA should revise the PRA statement on page iv of the instructions by placing a period after HCFA's address and excluding OMB from the "please write to" request. An expiration date must also be displayed unless an exemption has been requested.
