Title: Examination and Treatment for Emergency Medical Conditions and Women in Labor, Information Collection Requirements Contained in BPD-393
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 07/20/1996
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/07/1996
Terms of Clearance: Approved for use through 1/98 under the condition that HCFA thoroughly addresses the previous OMB clearance remarks dated February 6, 1996 and January 30, 1995. In particular, HCFA must include an evaluation of hospital compliance with these requirements and the extent to which implementation experience is consistent with public comments in the interim final rule. In addition, HCFA must amend its burden estimates to reflect ongoing experience in the field. Finally, OMB notes that on pg. 3 of its Supporting Statement, HCFA asserts that "copies of the IFC and pertinent manual instructions released to date are attached to this extension request." OMB's clearance package does not contain HCFA manual instructions, and the Department's Federal Register solicitations did not refer to manual instruc- tions. Accordingly, OMB clarifies that this particular clearance action applies only to the regulatory provisions, not HCFA implementing manuals.
