Short Statement: We propose to remove a one-time requirement and burden of 1,344 hours (24 hr x 56 states) for each manufacturer to make system updates to accommodate the updated field sizes and .CSV file formats for CMS-R-144. The one-time task has been met so we are removing the associated requirement and burden as a non-substantive change.
