Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: Revising the Skilled Nursing Facility and Skilled Nursing Facility Health Care Complex Cost Report (MCR) -- prior to inclusion of the FORM CMS-339 -- to streamline data collection, clarify instructions and definitions, and eliminate obsolete worksheets decreased the burden. Incorporating Provider Cost Report Reimbursement Questionnaire, FORM CMS-339, in the revised MCR increased the burden. The net effect of changes to the MCR is a decrease in the burden. See Supporting Statement for elaboration of the burden changes.
