Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, ? 6104(1) of Public Law 111-148 amended 1888(f) of the Social Security Act ("Reporting of Direct Care Expenditures"), requires SNFs to separately report expenditures for wages and benefits for direct care staff (breaking out (at a minimum) registered nurses, licensed professional nurses, certified nurse assistants, and other medical and therapy staff). In implementing these changes Worksheet S-3, part V was added. With the addition of this worksheet the average record keeping time for each provider will be increased by 5 hours and the average reporting time by 1 hour. An increase in burden is also due to a change in the number of respondents.
