    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

Services (CMS) (formerly known as the Health Care Financing

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.

the survey form that records survey results. The form is primarily a 
coding work sheet designed to facilitate data reduction and retrieval 
into the OSCAR system at the CMS Regional Offices.
