Appendix J: SCDTDP Justification for Annual Estimate of Burden

• Number of Respondents: 4 (the number of Regional Coordinating Centers submitting data to the National Coordinating Center)

• Responses per Region: calculated as an average

  • Number of states per region x data sources (State Medicaid and/or Medicaid MCOs) per state x frequency of data submission (number of quarters)

  • STORM: 5 x 2 x 3 = 30

  • Heartland: 3 x 2 x 3 = 18

  • Pacific: 4 x 1 x 2 = 8

  • Northeast: 7 x 1 x 2 = 14

  • Total: 70

  • Average: (30+18+8+14)/4 = 17.5

• Average Hours per Response for all time periods: calculated as an average

  • STORM: 45 (30 x 1.5 hours*)

  • Heartland: 27 (18 x 1.5 hours)

  • Pacific: 12 (8 x 1.5 hours)

  • Northeast: 21 (14 x 1.5 hours)

  • Total: 105 Hours

  • Average: (105)/4 = 26.25 Hours

*(we estimate 1.5 Hours or 90 minutes, for entering each response into CoLab as well as incorporating any changes based on Technical Assistance)
