With this submission, we are creating a new PRA package for critical access hospitals (CAHs). While seeking OMB approval independently, the burden is currently approved. The information collection requirements, as discussed in the supporting statement, are needed to implement the Medicare and Medicaid CoPs for 1,189 CAHs. Currently, the information collection requirements associated with the critical access hospital conditions of participation (CoPs) are included with the hospital CoPs reported under CMS-R-48 (0938-0328. Because the CAH program has grown in scope of services and the number of providers, we have taken the CAH burden from the CMS-R-48 with the exception of the burden associated with the 101 CAHs that have distinct part units (DPUs). Section 1820(c)(2)(E)(i) of the Act states that if a CAH operates a distinct part psychiatric or rehabilitation unit it must have 10 beds or less in the DPU and it must comply with the hospital requirements specified in Subpart A, B, C, and D of part 482 on those units. Based on 2007 data from HRSA, 81 CAHs have psychiatric distinct part units (DPUs) and 20 CAHs have rehabilitation DPU. The burden associated with the 101 CAH with DPUs is reported in CMS-R- 48.

This information collection request (ICR), CMS-10239, is a new ICR. The burden estimates associated with the current CAH conditions of participation (CoPs) are currently approved under CMS-R-48 (0938-0328). While seeking approval for CMS-10239, we will simultaneously be submitting a revised ICR for CMS -R-48 to remove the burden associated with CAHs.
