Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 13 / Friday, January 18, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 3409 

As shown in Table D below, we 

provide the aggregate costs expected as 

projected for the entire FY 2007, as well 

as the costs we would expect to offset 

for the period of the current Continuing 

Resolution. 

TABLE D.—TOTAL COSTS COMBINED FOR ALL REVISITS SURVEYS PER FISCAL YEAR & PERIOD OF CR 

FY 2007 Period of CR * 

Onsite Revisit Surveys ................................................................................................................................ $34,565,760 $664,723 

Offsite Revisit Surveys ................................................................................................................................ 2,751,000 52,905 

Total Costs All Revisits ........................................................................................................................ 37,316,760 717,628 

* CR period’s costs are based on CR period revisit surveys rounded up to the nearest whole number as shown in Table B & C. 

E. Alternatives Considered 

We considered a number of 

alternatives to the revisit user fee 

program. Such alternatives were 

discussed in the final rule published on 

September 19, 2007 (72 FR 53647). We 

affirm the continuing validity of that 

analysis. The current Continuing 

Resolution provides CMS with the 

authority to continue projects or 

activities as was otherwise provided for 

in FY 2007, and as such CMS is 

required to publish an interim final rule 

with comment. This interim final rule 

with comment merely updates the 

Congressional authority under which 

the rule operates. 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12866, this rule was not reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget.
