In the Matter of Certain Automotive Fuel Caps and Components Thereof; Notice of Commission Determination Not to Review an Initial Determination Granting a Motion To Withdraw the Complaint and Terminate the Investigation, 40057-40058 [05-13611]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 12, 2005 / Notices funerary objects are a mortar (in which the human remains and associated funerary objects were placed), 2 milling stones, 4 lots of charcoal, 1 shell fragment, 1 stone bead, 18 obsidian fragments, 1 bone bead, 1 olivella shell bead, 262 clamshell disc beads and fragments, and 210 beads and fragments of unknown material. Stylistic characteristics of the associated funerary objects indicate that the burial dates to the Protohistoric period (post-A.D. 1500). In 1946, human remains representing at least one individual were removed from Cross Slough Mound (CA-Sol–13) located on an island at the confluence of Cross and Nurse Sloughs on the northeastern side of Suisun Bay in Solano County, CA. The human remains and cultural items were collected by the Standard Oil Company and donated to the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology in 1946. No known individual was identified. The one associated funerary object is an obsidian projectile point. Stylistic characteristics of the associated funerary object indicate that the burial dates to the Protohistoric period (post-A.D. 1500). Based on burial context and site characteristics, the human remains described above from Colusa, Napa, and Solano Counties are determined to be Native American in origin. The sites date to a relatively late time period, after the migration of Wintun people into the region circa A.D. 700–900. The presentday descendents of the Wintun are the Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community of the Colusa Rancheria, California; Cortina Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians; Grindstone Indian Rancheria of WintunWailaki Indians of California; Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians of California; Redding Rancheria, California; Round Valley Indian Tribes of the Round Valley Reservation, California; and Rumsey Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians of California. Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the human remains described above represent the physical remains of at least 52 individuals of Native American ancestry. Officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology also have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 8,873 objects described above are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology have VerDate jul<14>2003 16:15 Jul 11, 2005 Jkt 205001 determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and the Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community of the Colusa Rancheria, California; Cortina Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians of California; Grindstone Indian Rancheria of Wintun-Wailaki Indians of California; Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians of California; Redding Rancheria, California; Round Valley Indian Tribes of the Round Valley Reservation, California; and Rumsey Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians of California. Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary objects should contact C. Richard Hitchcock, NAGPRA Coordinator, Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, telephone (510) 642–6096, before August 11, 2005.

Response to Competitive Impact Statement on Behalf of the West Virginia Health Care Authority The West Virginia Health Care Authority (hereinafter ‘‘Authority’’) files this response to the Competitive Impact Statement published on April 7, 2005. The purpose of this response is to set forth the Authority’s analysis of the state action doctrine and to clarify the statutory powers conferred upon the Authority by the West Virginia Legislature. I. Statement of Facts A. History of Bluefield Regional Medical Center and Princeton Community Hospital Bluefield Regional Medical Center (hereinafter ‘‘BRMC’’) owns and operates a 265 bed acute care not-forprofit hospital in Bluefield, West Virginia. Princeton Community Hospital (hereinafter ‘‘PCH’’) owns and operates a 211 bed acute care not-for-profit hospital in Princeton, West Virginia. In addition to the Princeton facility, PCH also owns and operates St. Luke’s Hospital, LLC, a 79 bed acute care hospital in Bluefield, West Virginia. BRMC and PCH are located in close proximity to one another in Mercer County, Southern West Virginia. Mercer County ranks 15 out of 55 counties for the percentage of non-elderly adults without health insurance in the State of West Virginia.1 Thus, a significant portion of the population of this county is rural and uninsured. 1 Health Insurance in West Virginia: The Nonelderly Adult Report, July 2002 and reprinted May 2003 available at https://www.wvhealthpolicy.org/ reports_2002.htm. PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 B. Overview of the West Virginia Health Care Authority, Its Cost Based Rate Review System and the Certificate of Need Program By way of background, the Health Care Cost Review Authority (hereinafter ‘‘HCCRA’’) was created by the Legislature in 1983, as an autonomous agency within state government, W.Va. Code § 16–29B–5. The Authority, then known as HCCRA, is charged with the responsibility for collecting information on health care costs, developing a system of cost control, and ensuring accessibility to appropriate acute care beds. W.Va. Code § 16–29B–1, et seq. This same legislation expanded the HCCRA’s responsibilities to include the administration of two previously enacted cost containment programs: (1) the Certificate of Need (hereinafter ‘‘CON’’) program, which is codified at W.Va. Code §§ 16–2D–1, et seq.; and (2) the Health Care Financial Disclosure Act, which is codified at W.Va. Code §§ 16–5F–1, et seq. In 1997, the Legislature enacted a statute renaming the HCCRA as the West Virginia Health Care Authority. W.Va. Code § 16–29B–2. The Authority’s purpose is ‘‘to protect the health and well-being of the citizens of this state by guarding against unreasonable loss of economic resources as well as to ensure the continuation of appropriate access to cost-effective quality health care services.’’ W.Va. Code § 16–29B–1. This statute created a three member Board vested with the power to ‘‘approve or disapprove hospital rates * * *.’’ W.Va. Code §§ 16–29B–5 & 19. The Authority establishes hospital rates for a group of payors termed ‘‘nongovernmental payors’’ or ‘‘other payors.’’ This group includes public and private insurers, persons who pay for their own hospital services and all other third party payors who are not government-related. W.Va. Code §§ 16– 29B–1, et seq.; Hospital Cost Based Rate Review System, 65 C.S.R. §§ 5–1, et seq. The Authority is also statutorily responsible for establishing the nongovernmental average charge per discharge for inpatient and outpatient services for acute care hospitals in the state. Accordingly, once a year, hospitals may file a rate application with the Authority seeking a rate increase pursuant to W.Va. Code § 16– 29B–21. Ultimately, the Authority has the right to: (1) Approve a rate request, (2) modify a rate request, or (3) deny a rate request. W.Va. Code § 16–29B–19. In evaluating rate applications, the Authority utilizes a hospital’s rate application as the primary source of information in setting its rates. The E:\FR\FM\12JYN1.SGM 12JYN1
