The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is requesting approval for the information collection reqirements contained in the the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.

The total hours it takes to submit all documentation has increased, due to the amount of time it takes responders to obtain medical records and billing documentation from their healthcare providers. The estimated total number of annual respondents has decreased based on the number of respondents in the past 3 years. The estimated number of respondents in the previous OMB approval was not accurate.
