These ICRs have been updated in
accordance with the finalized regulations at § 485.914(d) in 84 FR
51732. These burden estimates are unchanged from what was estimated
for the proposed rule, which resulted in an annual burden of 3,218
hours. There is, however, one discrepancy between these estimates
and the estimates in the aforementioned final rule. In the final
rule, the estimates were inadvertently changed to indicate that the
requirements would impact all 161 CMHCs rather than just the
approximately 52 Medicare-participating CMHCs. As a result, the
number of CMHCs and burden hours may slightly differ from what was
calculated in the final rule.
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).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
