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.
