a. Performance Indicator Data (Annual Reporting for Monitoring Community Engagement)

The burden associated with the performance indicator (PI) data report consists of the initial, one-time system and process changes by jurisdictions to the PI data reporting to be able to pull the new data collection and report to CMS. The burden also consists of the time and effort for the State to pull and analyze data for accuracy and completeness and to submit data through the designated reporting mechanism. CMS estimates that 44 jurisdictions will need to report six new data metrics and update the data of a previously submitted PI data report on an ongoing monthly basis.

For the one-time system and process updates, CMS estimates 44 jurisdictions will spend 162 hours to make changes for a total of 7,128 hours (44 jurisdictions × 162 hr = 7,128 hr). CMS estimates it will take a Computer and Information Analyst 160 hours at $111.66/hr to review existing eligibility and enrollment data and organize these data appropriately to submit to CMS to meet the PI reporting requirements of § 435.562. In addition, we estimate it will take a General and Operations Manager 2 hours at $128.00/hr to review the data and approve the submission of the data to CMS. In total, we estimate a total one-time cost of $797,350 [44 × (160 hr × $111.66/hr) + (2 hr × $128.00/hr)]. Assuming a Federal administrative match of 75 percent, the estimated State share is $199,338 ($797,350 × 0.25).

For the ongoing monthly reporting and updates of PI data, CMS estimates 44 jurisdictions will submit 2 reports each with existing metrics and new community engagement metrics on up to a monthly basis or, 1056 responses on an annual basis (44 jurisdictions × 2 reports × 12 months = 1056 responses/year). CMS estimates it will take a Computer and Information Analyst 3 hours (0.50 hours each for 6 metrics) at $111.66/hr to conduct the ongoing monthly reporting and updates for new community engagement measures. In addition, we estimate it will take a General and Operations Manager 1 hour (10 minutes each for six metrics) at $128.00/hr to review the data and approve the submission of the community engagement data to CMS. The corresponding total annual cost is $488,907 [1,056 × (3 hr × $111.66/hr) + (1 hr × $128.00/hr)]. Assuming a Federal administrative match of 75 percent, the estimated State share is $122,227 ($488,907 × 0.25). ( printed page 33428)
