Section 1923(a)(2)(D) of the Act
requires the States to submit an annual report that identifies each
DHS payment under the State's Medicaid program in the preceding
fiscal year and the amount of DSH payments paid to that hospital in
the same year and such other information as the Secretary
determines necessary to ensure the appropriateness of DHS payments.
The information supplied will satisfy the requirements under
section 1923(a)(2)(D) of the Act as well.
The revised burden requires the
submission of additional information under section 1923(j)(1) of
the Social Security Act. To ensure the most accurate burden
estimate, there are changes to the hours (from 38 - 42 hr per
response) and wages based on our review of State submissions under
section 1923(j) of the Social Security Act. Additionally, the
number of respondents has been corrected from 52 to 51 (all 50
states and the District of Columbia).

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
