The existing contractor budget and cost reporting system forms, as well as the new schedule G on fraud and abuse, are cleared for use through 6/93. Because the Federal Register notice dated September 21, 1992 referenced this package as a reinstatement and not a revision, OM is concerned that the public has not been offered full opportunity to consider revisions initiated by HCFA during OMB's review. For this reason, OMB clears these requirements for a limited period, pending full public notice and comment. No later than 3/93, HCFA must publish a notice in the Federal Register: 1) soliciting public comment on the new fraud and abuse schedule G; and 2) announcing submission of the package for OMB review. HCFA's next submission for OMB review must include a summary of public comment received pursuant to the burden disclosure statement on schedule G, as well as an evaluation of any field experience. HCFA must submit this package to OMB no later than 3/93.
