This package has been updated to reflect changes related to patient care policies. Although we are changing that requirement from an annual review to a biennial review, resulting in real-world savings, the burden associated with that review was not previously accounted for in this package due to it being considered a usual and customary business practice. Introducing the remaining biennial review to this package results in an increase in burden from 24,183 hours to 33,905 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;

(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
