This is a reinstatement of the information collection request that expired on March 31, 2024. The previous iteration of this OMB No. 0938-1043 (approved March 25, 2021) had a burden of 33,905 annual hours. For this requested reinstatement, with changes, the total annual burden hours for industry is 894,922 hours and the annual burden costs are $73,650,118.
The increase in burden hours from the prior package is primarily due to new information collections associated with new CoPs for CAHs outlined in the two CMS rules referenced below. The new CoPs include multiple information collection requirements that are one-time burdens for developing new policies and protocols and ongoing reporting requirements, such as daily or biweekly reporting of respiratory illnesses as well as maternal deaths. The reasons for the increased information collections are discussed in more detail in the rules and are summarized later in this package.
