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.
