In response to past terrorist attacks,
natural disasters, and the subsequent national need to refine the
nation’s strategy to handle emergency situations, there continues
to be a coordinated effort across Federal agencies to establish a
foundation for development and expansion of emergency preparedness
systems. This information collection captures the burden necessary
to support the development and implementation of emergency
preparedness requirements that will be consistent and enforceable
across 17 affected Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers.
We obtained the data used in this discussion on the number of the
various Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers from
Medicare’s Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting
(CASPER) as of , 2015.June 1, 2016. We have not included data for
health care facilities that are not Medicare and/or Medicaid
certified. This information collection consists primarily of the
review, revision, and/or development of emergency plans, policies
and procedures, and training and testing materials to ensure
on-going compliance with the requirements contained in the
regulation, discussed above.

This package has been updated
to reflect changes in information collection requirements related
to new or revised Conditions of Participation. For this
reinstatement, the total annual burden hours for industry are
1,251,158 hours and the annual burden costs are $401,106,506. See
Table 13. The annual burden to industry decreased from 1,260,474
burden hours to 1,251,158 for the following reasons: • Exclusion of
LTC facilities • Addition of new facility type, Rural Emergency
Hospitals • Differentiation between which CoPs that are ongoing
requirements vs. the one-time development at the time a facility is
newly certified. • Reduction in frequency of required ongoing
training of staff for IC-7 from annual to biennial for all
facilities per the 2019 Final Rule. • Reduction in quantity of
required testing exercises per year for facilities that provide
outpatient services from 2 testing exercises to 1 per year with no
change to facilities that provide inpatient services per the 2019
Final Rule.
