This is a reinstatement (with a
change) of the OMB-approved requirements (HCFA-R-153) on DUR
programs that will expire on September 30, 1997. The program and
requirements are the same, but HCFA intends to add
survey/instructions for the annual report. This framework in form
HCFA-R-153a would allow for reports to be more easily prepared by
the estates, while also enhancing the usefulness of these reports
for analysis and comparison by HCFA. Submission of reports has been
required by section 1927(g) of the Social Security Act.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
