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.

annual burden to industry increased from 33,905 hours to 894,922

ongoing reporting requirements, such as daily or biweekly reporting
of respiratory illnesses as well as maternal deaths.
