In response to past terrorist attacks,
natural disasters, and the subsequent national need to refine the
nation’s strategy to handle emergency situations, there continues
to be a coordinated effort across Federal agencies to establish a
foundation for development and expansion of emergency preparedness
systems. This information collection captures the burden necessary
to support the development and implementation of emergency
preparedness requirements that will be consistent and enforceable
across 17 affected Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers.
We obtained the data used in this discussion on the number of the
various Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers from
Medicare’s Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting
(CASPER) as of , 2015.June 1, 2016. We have not included data for
health care facilities that are not Medicare and/or Medicaid
certified. This information collection consists primarily of the
review, revision, and/or development of emergency plans, policies
and procedures, and training and testing materials to ensure
on-going compliance with the requirements contained in the
regulation, discussed above.
