SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

A. Fiscal Year DSH Allotments

    A state's federal fiscal year (FY) disproportionate share hospital 
(DSH) allotment represents the aggregate limit on the federal share 
amount of the state's payments to DSH hospitals in the state for the 
FY. The amount of such allotment is determined in accordance with the 
provisions of section 1923(f)(3) of the Social Security Act (the Act). 
Under such provisions, in general a state's FY DSH allotment is 
calculated by increasing the amount of its DSH allotment for the 
preceding FY by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for 
all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the previous FY.
    The Affordable Care Act amended Medicaid DSH provisions, adding 
section 1923(f)(7) of the Act which would have required reductions to 
states' FY DSH allotments beginning with FY 2014, the calculation of 
which was described in the Disproportionate Share Hospital Payment 
Reduction final rule published in the September 18, 2013 Federal 
Register (78 FR 57293). Under the DSH reduction methodology, first, 
each state's unreduced FY DSH allotment would have been calculated in 
accordance with the provisions of section 1923(f) of the Act, excluding 
section 1923(f)(7) of the Act; then, the reduction amount for each 
state would have been determined under the provisions of section 
1923(f)(7) of the Act and implementing regulations at 42 CFR 447.294; 
and, finally, the net FY DSH allotment for each state would have been 
determined by subtracting the DSH reduction amount for the state from 
its unreduced FY 2014 DSH allotment.
    The reductions under section 1923(f)(7) of the Act were most 
recently delayed and modified by the Medicare Access and CHIP 
Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) (Pub. L. 114-10), enacted on April 
16, 2015. The reductions of states' fiscal year DSH allotments under 
section 1923(f)(7) of the Act that were applicable to FY 2017 were 
repealed, and are instead scheduled to begin in FY 2018 at modified 
levels. MACRA also extended DSH allotment reductions through 2025.
    Because there is no reduction to DSH allotments for FY 2015 under 
section 1923(f)(7) of the Act, this notice contains only the state-
specific preliminary FY 2015 DSH allotments, as calculated under the 
statute without application of the reductions that would have otherwise 
been imposed. This notice also provides information on the calculation 
of such FY DSH allotments, the calculation of the states' IMD DSH 
limits, and the amounts of states' preliminary FY 2015 IMD DSH limits.

B. Determination of Fiscal Year DSH Allotments

    Generally, in accordance with the methodology specified under 
section 1923(f)(3) of the Act, a state's FY DSH allotment is calculated 
by increasing the amount of its DSH allotment for the preceding FY by 
the percentage change in the CPI-U for the previous FY. Also in 
accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of the Act, a state's DSH allotment 
for a FY is subject to the limitation that an increase to a state's DSH 
allotment for a FY cannot result in the DSH allotment exceeding the 
greater of the state's DSH allotment for the previous FY or 12 percent 
of the state's total medical assistance expenditures for the allotment 
year (this is referred to as the 12 percent limit).
    Furthermore, under section 1923(h) of the Act, federal financial 
participation

[[Page 5449]]

(FFP) for DSH payments to institutions for mental diseases (IMDs) and 
other mental health facilities is limited to state-specific aggregate 
amounts. Under this provision, the aggregate limit for DSH payments to 
IMDs and other mental health facilities is the lesser of a state's FY 
1995 total computable (state and federal share) IMD and other mental 
health facility DSH expenditures applicable to the state's FY 1995 DSH 
allotment (as reported on the Form CMS-64 as of January 1, 1997), or 
the amount equal to the product of the state's current year total 
computable DSH allotment and the applicable percentage specified in 
section 1902(h) of the Act (the applicable percentage is the IMD share 
of DSH total computable expenditures as of FY 1995).
    In general, we determine states' DSH allotments for a FY and the 
IMD DSH limits for the same FY using the most recent available 
estimates of or actual medical assistance expenditures, including DSH 
expenditures in their Medicaid programs and the most recent available 
change in the CPI-U used for the FY in accordance with the methodology 
prescribed in the statute. The indicated estimated or actual 
expenditures are obtained from states for each relevant FY from the 
most recent available quarterly Medicaid budget reports (Form CMS-37) 
or quarterly Medicaid expenditure reports (Form CMS-64), respectively, 
submitted by the states. For example, as part of the initial 
determination of a state's FY DSH allotment (referred to as the 
preliminary DSH allotments) that is determined before the beginning of 
the FY for which the DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits are being 
determined, we use estimated expenditures for the FY obtained from the 
August submission of the CMS-37 submitted by states prior to the 
beginning of the FY; such estimated expenditures are subject to update 
and revision during the FY before such actual expenditure data become 
available. We also use the most recent available estimated CPI-U 
percentage change that is available before the beginning of the FY for 
determining the states' preliminary FY DSH allotments; such estimated 
CPI-U percentage change is subject to update and revision during the FY 
before the actual CPI-U percentage change becomes available. In 
determining the final DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits for a FY we use 
the actual expenditures for the FY and actual CPI-U percentage change 
for the previous FY.

II. Provisions of the Notice

A. Calculation of the Final FY 2013 Federal Share State DSH Allotments 
and the Preliminary FY 2015 Federal Share State DSH Allotments

1. Final FY 2013 Federal Share State DSH Allotments
    Addendum 1 to this notice provides the states' final FY 2013 DSH 
allotments determined in accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of the Act. 
As described in the background section of this notice, in general, the 
DSH allotment for a FY is calculated by increasing the FY DSH allotment 
for the preceding FY by the CPI-U increase for the previous fiscal 
year. For purposes of calculating the states' final FY 2013 DSH 
allotments, the preceding final fiscal year DSH allotments (for FY 
2012) were published in the July 26, 2013 Federal Register (78 FR 
45217). For purposes of calculating the states' final FY 2013 DSH 
allotments we are using the actual Medicaid expenditures for FY 2013. 
Finally, for purposes of calculating the states' final FY 2013 DSH 
allotments, the applicable historical percentage change in the CPI-U 
for the previous FY (FY 2012) was 2.4 percent; we note that this is the 
same as the estimated 2.4 percentage change in the CPI-U for FY 2012 
that was available and used in the calculation of the preliminary FY 
2013 DSH allotments which were published in the July 26, 2013 Federal 
Register (78 FR 45217).
2. Calculation of the Preliminary FY 2015 Federal Share State DSH 
Allotments
    Addendum 2 to this notice provides the preliminary FY 2015 DSH 
allotments determined in accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of the Act. 
The preliminary FY 2015 DSH allotments contained in this notice were 
determined based on the most recent available estimates from states of 
their FY 2015 total computable Medicaid expenditures. Also, the 
preliminary FY 2015 allotments contained in this notice were determined 
by increasing the preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments as contained in 
the notice published in the February 28, 2014 Federal Register (79 FR 
11436) by 1.6 percent, representing the most recent available estimate 
of the percentage increase in the CPI-U for FY 2014 (the previous FY to 
FY 2015).
    We will publish states' final FY 2015 DSH allotments in future 
notices based on the states' four quarterly Medicaid expenditure 
reports (Form CMS-64) for FY 2015 available following the end of FY 
2015 and the actual change in the CPI-U for FY 2014.

B. Calculation of the Final FY 2013 and Preliminary FY 2015 IMD DSH 
Limits

    Section 1923(h) of the Act specifies the methodology to be used to 
establish the limits on the amount of DSH payments that a state can 
make to IMDs and other mental health facilities. FFP is not available 
for IMD or DSH payments that exceed the IMD limits. In this notice, we 
are publishing the final FY 2013 and the preliminary FY 2015 IMD DSH 
Limits determined in accordance with the provisions discussed above.
    Addendums 3 and 4 to this notice detail each state's final FY 2013 
and preliminary FY 2015 IMD DSH Limit, respectively, determined in 
accordance with section 1923(h) of the Act.

III. Collection of Information Requirements

    This notice does not impose any new or revised information 
collection or recordkeeping requirements. The requirements and burden 
associated with form CMS-37 (OMB control number 0938-1265) and form 
CMS-64 (OMB control number 0938-1265) are unaffected by this notice. As 
it pertains to the content of this notice, CMS-37 and CMS-64 are not 
subject to formal Office of Management and Budget review under the 
authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.).

IV. Regulatory Impact Statement

    We have examined the impact of this notice as required by Executive 
Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review (September 1993), the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (September 19, 1980, Pub. L. 96-354), 
section 1102(b) of the Act, section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act of 1995 (March 22, 1995; Pub. L. 104-4), Executive Order 13132 on 
Federalism (August 4, 1999) and the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 
804(2)).
    Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and 
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is 
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits 
(including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety 
effects, distributive impacts, and equity). A regulatory impact 
analysis (RIA) must be prepared for major rules with economically 
significant effects ($100 million or more in any 1 year). This notice 
reaches the $100 million economic threshold and thus is considered a 
major rule under the Congressional Review Act.
    The final FY 2013 DSH allotments being published in this notice are 
equal

[[Page 5450]]

to the preliminary FY 2013 DSH allotments published in the July 26, 
2013 Federal Register (78 FR 45217). This is due to the actual 
percentage change in the CPI-U for FY 2012 used in the calculation of 
the final FY 2013 allotments (2.4 percent) being equal to the estimated 
percentage change in the CPI-U for FY 2012 used in the calculation of 
the preliminary FY 2013 allotments (2.4 percent). The final FY 2013 IMD 
DSH limits being published in this notice are also equal to the 
preliminary FY 2013 IMD DSH limits published in the July 26, 2013 
Federal Register (78 FR 45217). Since the final FY 2013 DSH allotments 
were equal to the preliminary FY 2013 DSH allotments, the associated FY 
2013 IMD DSH limits also remained the same.
    The preliminary FY 2015 DSH allotments being published in this 
notice are about $240 million more than the preliminary FY 2014 DSH 
allotments published in the February 28, 2014 Federal Register (79 FR 
11436). The increase in the DSH allotments is due to the application of 
the statutory formula for calculating DSH allotments under which the 
prior fiscal year allotments are increased by the percentage increase 
in the CPI-U for the prior fiscal year. The preliminary FY 2015 IMD DSH 
limits being published in this notice are about $14 million more than 
the preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH limits published in the February 28, 
2014 Federal Register (79 FR 11436). The increase in the IMD DSH limits 
is because the DSH allotment for a FY is a factor in the determination 
of the IMD DSH limit for the FY. Since the preliminary FY 2015 DSH 
allotments are greater than the preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments, the 
associated preliminary FY 2015 IMD DSH limits for some states also 
increased.
    The RFA requires agencies to analyze options for regulatory relief 
of small businesses, if a rule has a significant impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. For purposes of the RFA, small 
entities include small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and small 
governmental jurisdictions. Most hospitals and most other providers and 
suppliers are small entities, either by nonprofit status or by having 
revenues of less than $7.5 million to $38.5 million in any 1 year. 
Individuals and states are not included in the definition of a small 
entity. We are not preparing an analysis for the RFA because the 
Secretary has determined that this notice will not have significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Specifically, any impact on providers is due to the effect of the 
various controlling statutes; providers are not impacted as a result of 
the independent regulatory action in publishing this notice. The 
purpose of the notice is to announce the latest distributions as 
required by the statute.
    In addition, section 1102(b) of the Act requires us to prepare a 
regulatory impact analysis if a rule may have a significant impact on 
the operations of a substantial number of small rural hospitals. This 
analysis must conform to the provisions of section 604 of the RFA. For 
purposes of section 1102(b) of the Act, we define a small rural 
hospital as a hospital that is located outside of a Core-Based 
Statistical Area for Medicaid payment regulations and has fewer than 
100 beds. We are not preparing analysis for section 1102(b) of the Act 
because the Secretary has determined that this notice will not have a 
significant impact on the operations of a substantial number of small 
rural hospitals.
    The Medicaid statute specifies the methodology for determining the 
amounts of states' DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits; and as described 
previously, the application of the methodology specified in statute 
results in the decreases or increases in states' DSH allotments and IMD 
DSH limits for the applicable FYs. The statute applicable to these 
allotments and limits does not apply to the determination of the 
amounts of DSH payments made to specific DSH hospitals; rather, these 
allotments and limits represent an overall limit on the total of such 
DSH payments. In this regard, we do not believe that this notice will 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 also 
requires that agencies assess anticipated costs and benefits before 
issuing any rule whose mandates require spending in any 1 year of $100 
million in 1995 dollars, updated annually for inflation. In 2015, that 
is approximately $144 million. This notice will have no consequential 
effect on state, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or on 
the private sector.
    Executive Order 13132 establishes certain requirements that an 
agency must meet when it issues a proposed rule (and subsequent final 
rule) that imposes substantial direct requirement costs on state and 
local governments, preempts state law, or otherwise has Federalism 
implications. Since this notice does not impose any costs on state or 
local governments, the requirements of E.O. 13132 are not applicable.

A. Alternatives Considered

    The methodologies for determining the states' fiscal year DSH 
allotments and IMD DSH Limits, as reflected in this notice, were 
established in accordance with the methodologies and formula for 
determining states' allotments as specified in the statute. This notice 
does not put forward any further discretionary administrative policies 
for determining such allotments.

B. Accounting Statement

    As required by OMB Circular A-4 (available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a004/a-4.pdf), in the Table 1, we have 
prepared an accounting statement showing the classification of the 
estimated expenditures associated with the provisions of this notice. 
Table 1 provides our best estimate of the change (decrease) in the 
federal share of states' Medicaid DSH payments resulting from the 
application of the provisions of the Medicaid statute relating to the 
calculation of states' FY DSH allotments and the increase in the FY DSH 
allotments from FY 2014 to FY 2015.
