Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The number of affected CORFs was adjusted from 235 to 188, and hourly wages were adjusted to reflect the latest (May 2017) data from BLS. In addition, the burden associated with developing utilization review plans has been removed and replaced by the ongoing review and revision burden. The previous requirement for reviewing utilization review plans quarterly (§485.66) has been changed to an annual requirement, and the estimated burden associated with that review was adjusted to what we think is a more realistic level (30 minutes quarterly per personnel is now 2 hours annually per personnel). The net result is a decrease in burden from 3,055 hours to 1,504 hours
