X-ray suppliers to be surveyed for health and safety standards. The
CMS-1880 is used by the surveyor to determine if a portable X-ray
applicant meets the eligibility requirements.

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.
