Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There are no changes to the EQR protocols. Adjustments have been made to CMS-R-305 to account for: (1) changes to the regulations per CMS-2390-P (see detailed description in Section 12), (2) mathematical errors and estimate revisions in regards to the number of respondents, the type of respondents, annual responses, and annual hour burden, and (3) updated BLS job titles and wages. We have removed the CHIP EQR burden from CMS-R-305 as under CMS-2390-P we propose the creation of a PRA package (CMS-10554, OMB 0938-New) which contains all of the CHIP managed care burden, including EQR. This proposed iteration seperates state and private sector burden. Previos iteration combined the burden estimates.
