Respondents: The number of respondents increased from 5,000 to 5,990. The following also increased due to an increased in number of respondents. Responses: Responses have increased from 5,000 to 5,990. Burden Hours: Burden hours have increased from 417 to 1,995. The current version of the CM-936 requested information from a single medical provider. The revised form, however, accommodates information from up to four providers. As a result, DCMWC anticipates that completing the form may take up to four times longer than before. Consequently, the Public Burden Statement has been adjusted to reflect this increase, with the estimated completion time now averaging 20 minutes, up from the previous average of 5 minutes. Costs: No other cost reported for this collection.
