Terms of Clearance: CMS continues to agree to include the technical specifications document in the ICR package and to make it available to the public during the public comment periods. ICR packages that do not contain this information and were not made available for public comment will be considered incomplete. CMS also understands that all burden-impacting changes--even technical changes like procedure and diagnosis codes that are revised annually--are subject to the PRA and require an opportunity for public comment before they are implemented. This includes changes that would require respondents to change their workflow processes or computer programs in order to accommodate those changes.
