of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of 
the Agency's function; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to

costs incurred to furnish treatment for renal patients and transplant 
patients. The reasonable costs of securing and transporting organs 
cannot be determined for the fiscal year until the Organ Procurement 
Organization/Histocompatibility Laboratory files its cost report (Form 
CMS-216) at year-end and costs are verified by the Medicare fiscal 
intermediary.
