	Date Received in OIRA: 07/05/2001
Terms of Clearance: Extended for use for a short period until 2/2002 with the understanding that CMS will complete its consideration of comments and its discussions with contractors in regard to its 1) deletion of numerous sections of the CMS-339; and 2) the revised Program Memorandum supporting these changes. In addition OMB requests that CMS evaluates the new CMS-855 and considers additional opportunities to eliminate redundancies and burdens on the CMS-339. The next submission for OMB review should be responsive to public comments received on this submission and through CMS' vetting of the Program Memorandum. In addition, the next submission should articulate a time frame for making longer term reductions in paperwork burden, i.e. eliminating the CMS-339 entirely and reevaluating the practical utility of the CMS-2552.
