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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: In regards to the revision request associated with this ICR, we are removing burden associated with death record reviews at 486.348(b). While this requirement is still in place, it is now a usual and customary practice for OPOs that has been in effect since 2006. The previous burden estimate carried over from 2010 when OPOs were still adapting to this requirement and may have needed to increase staffing for this purpose. However, death record review is now considered usual and customary practice for OPOs. This reduces the burden by 12,480 hours and $923,520. The overall change in burden from the previously approved package is a decrease 12,493 hours from 13,234 hours to 741.
