We have adjusted our burden estimate which has increased approximately 23% from the estimate calculated in 2009. This change reflects actual numbers from the most recent 3 years of the Part D program.
Additionally, there were 40 data elements in the 2009 PRA package. They increased to 54 data elements in order to reconcile payments more effectively and provide better program oversight. This change has no significant effect on our e burden estimates.
