Department of Health and Human Services, has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) the following proposals for the collection 
of information. Interested persons are invited to send comments 
regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of 
information, including any of the following subjects: (1) the necessity 
and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper 
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the 
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to 
minimize the information collection burden.

regulations. These forms are available for inspection on the HCFA
