We have adjusted our burden
estimate which has increased approximately 23% from the estimate
calculated in 2009. This change reflects actual numbers from the
most recent 3 years of the Part D program. Additionally, there were
40 data elements in the 2009 PRA package. They increased to 54 data
elements in order to reconcile payments more effectively and
provide better program oversight. This change has no significant
effect on our e burden estimates.
