The 4,158 hours
of burden could be reduced if the preprinted state plans did not
contain a rehash of statutory and Departmental regulator
requirements and only required a simple certification that the
state had met the requirement. This request is approved until
January 31,198 on the condition that SSA examine the possibility of
requiring simple certification for all or portions of the state
plan requirements and, only, requiring elaboration where
information is needed for OFA/SSA oversight. HHS will also consider
requiring that supporting documents for state plans be available
for inspection but not submitted to HHS for approval.In
addition,HHS will cite the statutes and Departmental regulations
requiring each item in the plan. HHS will report the results of the
aforementioned examinations to OMB by January 31, 1982.
