Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,349.

Abstract: The Department executes a two-stage Sampling and
Estimation Methodology Plan (S&EMP) that is based in part on the

report to the Department information required to carry out the S&EMP
and publish payment integrity information on an annual basis.
