Short Statement: This is a reinstatement with changes in the time interval required for a respondent to fill out the provider authorization form (i.e., from one hour to 20 minutes). It was felt that this change was justified due to the simplicity of form design which minimizes the administrative burden upon the corporate entity. The number of respondents was also changed from 1,000 to 300 respondents based on the increasing popularity of less restrictive treatment settings. Governmental and facility costs were increased for inflation.
