The number of portable x-ray suppliers and number of annual surveys has not changed since the previous submission. We have revised the hourly wage estimates to link the information to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates. We believe this more accurately represents actual costs. The total burden hours decreased from 151 hours to 22. This is due to the deletion of Form CMS-1882 from this information collection.
