The Independent Diagnostic Testing
Facilities (IDTF) - Site Investigation form was developed and
implemented to allow for CMS to have a standard format to collect
and verify information regarding the compliance of independent
diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs) with the performance
standards found in 42 CFR 410.33(g). CMS is now seeking
re-instatement of the use of this form.

The previously approved total
annual hour burden for the respondents in 2012 was 2,000 hours.
That figure was based on an estimation gathered from the
appropriate contractors and has now been determined to be high, due
to the current lesser number of respondents. In 2012, our reported
estimation was 1,000 respondents at 2 hours each equaling 2,000
hours. Due to better reporting methods and more accurate data
collection, CMS now determines the total burden hours for this
information collection to be 1,800 hours with 900 respondents.
