60 Day Comment Period-Comment/Response
The following questions were received on April 2, 2022 via anonymous writer: “What is the power of an estimated capital figure in a document such as this; and is it in conflict with the assumed nature of this estimation, an imperfect calculation designed to portray these expenses as something more than they are, as if every task shall be taken down on payroll?
CMS Response:
The estimated fiscal burden outlined in the Supporting Statement is associated with the completion of any required documentation as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. The Paperwork Reduction Act is to have Federal agencies become more responsible and publicly accountable for reducing the burden of Federal paperwork on the public, and for other purposes. The Supporting Statement A, Condition of Participation - Use of Restraint and Seclusion in Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities Providing Psychiatric Services to Individuals under Age 21 and Supporting Regulations, CMS-R-306, OMB 0938-0833, modifies the facility reporting requirements to add an additional requirement that these facilities report any death of a resident to the CMS regional office.
Action Taken:
There are no proposed changes to the requirements, burden, information collection, reporting instruments, or instruction documents.
