be required to submit a Change of Therapy (COT) Other Medicare
Required Assessment (OMRA) to administer the payment rate
methodology. This additional assessment is subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act. The burden associated with this is the SNF staff
time required to complete the COT OMRA for the Minimum Data Set
(MDS), SNF staff time to encode, and SNF staff time spent in
transmitting the data.
