Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We have adjusted our cost estimates by using the most recent BLS wage estimates. The reduction of 699 hr in annual burden hours (22,625 hr - 21,926 hr = -699 hr) from CY 2016 to CY 2017 is attributed to the reduction in the estimated hours to complete both SNP with MA and SNP with SAE applications. The estimated hours for completion of a SNP application was 42 hours in CY2016 which was reduced to 39 hours in CY2017. Note the projected number of SNP applications remained unchanged from CY2016 to CY2017. There is a 3 hr increase in burden from the MA initial application and a 3 hr decrease for the SNP Proposal for CY2017. Thus, the increase and decrease in burden hours cancel each other.
