This is a reinstatement of the
information collection request that expired on 11/30/2017. The
previous iteration of this OMB No. 0938-0328 (approved November 14,
2014) had a burden of 14,424,655 annual hours. For this requested
reinstatement, with changes, the adjusted annual hourly burden for
industry is 3,566,521 hours at an annual cost of $310,989,894. The
decrease in burden hours is primarily due to the fact that many of
the information collections that were previously required as CoPs
by CMS are now customary and usual industry practice and would take
place in the absence of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In
addition, where possible, CMS reduced the burden of CoPs with prior
information collections.

The annual burden hours to
industry decreased from 14,424,655 to 3,566,521. The decrease in
burden hours is primarily due to the fact that many of the
information collections that were previously required as CoPs by
CMS are now customary and usual industry practice and would take
place in the absence of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In
addition, where possible, CMS reduced the burden of CoPs with prior
information collections. For example, the burden for individuals
hospitals that are part of a multi-hospital system was reduced by
allowing a multi-hospital system, which represent approximately 70%
of hospitals today, to develop a unified Quality Assessment and
Performance Improvement (QAPI) program rather than requiring each
hospital in the system to maintain separate programs and reporting
requirements.
