The Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) is requesting approval for the information
collection reqirements contained in the the Countermeasures Injury
Compensation Program. The Countermeasures Injury Compensation
Program is designed to provide compensation to individuals for
serious physical injuries or deaths from pandemic, epidemic, or
security countermeasures identified in declarations issued by the
Secretary pursuant to section 319F-3(b) of the Public Health
Service Act.
The total hours it takes to
submit all documentation has increased, due to the amount of time
it takes responders to obtain medical records and billing
documentation from their healthcare providers. The estimated total
number of annual respondents has decreased based on the number of
respondents in the past 3 years. The estimated number of
respondents in the previous OMB approval was not accurate.
