VII. Action Based on Performance Evaluations [If you choose to comment on this section, please include the caption ‘‘ACTION BASED ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS’’ at the beginning of your comments.] We evaluate a contractor’s performance against applicable program requirements for each criterion. Each contractor must certify that all information submitted to us relating to the contract management process, including, without limitation, all files, records, documents and data, whether in written, electronic, or other form, is accurate and complete to the best of the contractor’s knowledge and belief. A contractor is required to certify that its files, records, documents, and data are not manipulated or falsified in an effort to receive a more favorable performance evaluation. A contractor must further certify that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the contractor has submitted, without withholding any relevant information, all information required to be submitted for the contract management process under the authority of applicable law(s), regulation(s), contract(s), or our manual provision(s). Any contractor that makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may be subject to criminal or civil prosecution, as well as appropriate administrative action. This administrative action may include debarment or suspension of the contractor, as well as the termination or nonrenewal of a contract. If a contractor meets the level of performance required by operational instructions, it meets the requirements of that criterion. When we determine a contractor is not meeting performance requirements, we will use the terms ‘‘major nonconformance’’ or ‘‘minor nonconformance’’ to classify our findings. A major nonconformance is a nonconformance that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. A minor nonconformance is a nonconformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose, or is a departure from established standards having little VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:43 Sep 28, 2006 Jkt 208001 bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services. The contractor will be required to develop and implement PIPs for findings determined to be either a major or minor nonconformance. The contractor will be monitored to ensure effective and efficient compliance with the PIP, and to ensure improved performance when requirements are not met. The results of performance evaluations and assessments under all criteria applying to intermediaries, carriers, and RHHIs will be used for contract management activities and will be published in the contractor’s annual Report of Contractor Performance (RCP). We may initiate administrative actions as a result of the evaluation of contractor performance based on these performance criteria. Under sections 1816 and 1842 of the Act, we consider the results of the evaluation in our determinations when— • Entering into, renewing, or terminating agreements or contracts with contractors, and • Deciding other contract actions for intermediaries and carriers (such as deletion of an automatic renewal clause). These decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and depend primarily on the nature and degree of performance. More specifically, these decisions depend on the following: + Relative overall performance compared to other contractors. + Number of criteria in which nonconformance occurs. + Extent of each nonconformance. + Relative significance of the requirement for which nonconformance occurs within the overall evaluation program. + Efforts to improve program quality, service, and efficiency. + Deciding the assignment or reassignment of providers and designation of regional or national intermediaries for classes of providers. We make individual contract action decisions after considering these factors in terms of their relative significance and impact on the effective and efficient administration of the Medicare program. In addition, if the cost incurred by the intermediary, RHHI, or carrier to meet its contractual requirements exceeds the amount that we find to be reasonable and adequate to meet the cost that must be incurred by an efficiently and economically operated intermediary or carrier, these high costs may also be grounds for adverse action.

ACTION: Correction notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document corrects technical errors that appeared in the July 31, 2006 Federal Register, entitled ‘‘Medicare Program; Prospective Payment System and Consolidated Billing for Skilled Nursing Facilities— Update—Notice.’’ Effective Date: This correction is effective October 1, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill Ullman, (410) 786–5667. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM 29SEN1 57520 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 189 / Friday, September 29, 2006 / Notices I. Background In FR Doc. 06–6615 of July 31, 2006 (71 FR 43158), there were several technical errors that this notice serves to identify and correct. One correction involves Table 10, which we use to illustrate the skilled nursing facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS) payment rate computations for a fictitious ‘‘XYZ’’ SNF located in Cedar Rapids, IA. In the example that appears in this table, RUG Group ‘‘CC2’’ serves to illustrate the effect on the payment rates of applying the 128 percent addon for SNF residents with AIDS under section 511 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA, P.L. 108–173). The table includes a footnote, marked with an asterisk that describes the MMA adjustment; however, we inadvertently omitted the corresponding asterisk within the table itself to identify the particular figure in the table to which this footnote refers. Accordingly, in section II of this document (‘‘Correction of Errors’’), we are restoring the asterisk that belongs next to the adjusted CC2 amount of ‘‘$542.54’’ that appears in Table 10’s ‘‘Percent Adjustment’’ column. In addition, in Table 12 (which displays the projected impact of the FY 2007 SNF PPS payment update, including the variation in impact by region and by certain other facility characteristics), we are correcting errors pertaining to the rural Outlying region. In the projected impact for the rural Outlying region, we inadvertently entered the incorrect figures of ‘‘–2.9%’’ and ‘‘3.3%’’ in the columns entitled ‘‘Transition to CBSA’’ and ‘‘Total FY 2007 change,’’ respectively. In this notice, we correct these figures to read ‘‘0.0%’’ and ‘‘6.4%,’’ respectively, and we also make corresponding revisions in the text of the narrative that accompanies Table 12. We note that the effect on the corrected table is solely distributional in nature and, accordingly, there is no change in the estimated aggregate expenditures for FY 2007 as set forth in the July 31, 2006 update notice. A further discussion of the projected impact of the FY 2007 SNF PPS payment update appears in the July 31, 2006 update notice (71 FR 43173–43176). Finally, we have determined that in the process of developing the most recent hospital wage index, we inadvertently used incorrect wage information for two providers. These two providers notified their fiscal intermediary in a timely fashion that their wage data were incorrect and we agreed to correct the wage data for these two providers. However, we inadvertently published the uncorrected wage data in the July 31, 2006 update notice. Incorporating their corrected data into our calculation of the national average hourly wage results in revised wage index values for a number of CoreBased Statistical Areas (CBSAs). Accordingly, we are revising and republishing Tables 8 and 9, which appeared in an addendum to the July 31, 2006 update notice, to reflect the correct information. II. Correction of Errors In FR Doc. 06–6615 (71 FR 43158), make the following corrections: 1. On page 43170, Table 10, in the ‘‘Percent adj’’ column, the figure ‘‘$542.54’’ is revised to read ‘‘$542.54*’’. 2. On page 43174, third column, a. In the first paragraph, line 10, the figure ‘‘3.2 percent’’ is revised to read ‘‘6.4 percent’’. b. In the final paragraph, the second sentence is revised to read as follows: ‘‘For example, though facilities in the rural Mountain region experience only a slight payment increase of 1.2 percent, some providers (such as those in the rural Outlying region) show a greater increase of 6.4 percent. ‘‘ In the third sentence, the phrase ‘‘urban Mountain’’ is revised to read ‘‘rural Outlying’’. 3. On page 43175, Table 12, the entries displayed for the rural Outlying region in the columns entitled ‘‘Transition to full CBSA’’ and ‘‘Total FY 2007 change’’ are revised to read ‘‘0.0%’’ and ‘‘6.4%’’, respectively. 4. On pages 43176 through 43198, Table 8 is revised to read as follows: TABLE 8.— FY 2007 WAGE INDEX FOR URBAN AREAS BASED ON CBSA LABOR MARKET AREAS Wage index CBSA code Urban area (constituent counties) 10180 ............

We find for good cause that it is unnecessary to undertake notice and comment rulemaking because this notice merely provides technical corrections to the 2007 SNF PPS update notice. We are not making substantive changes to our payment methodologies or policies, but rather, are simply implementing correctly the payment methodologies and policies that we previously proposed, received comment on, and subsequently finalized.

Therefore, we believe that undertaking further notice and comment procedures to incorporate these corrections into the update notice is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Further, we believe a delayed effective date is unnecessary because this correction notice merely corrects inadvertent technical errors. The changes noted above do not make any substantive changes to the SNF PPS payment methodologies or policies. Moreover, we regard imposing a delay in the effective date as being contrary to the public interest. We believe that it is in the public interest for providers to receive appropriate SNF PPS payments in as timely a manner as possible and to ensure that the FY 2007 SNF PPS update notice accurately reflects our payment methodologies, payment rates, and policies. Therefore, we find good cause to waive notice and comment procedures, as well as the 30-day delay in effective date.

Background Sections 1866(a)(1)(I), 1866(a)(1)(N), and 1867 of the Social Security Act (the Act) impose specific obligations on Medicare-participating hospitals that offer emergency services. These obligations concern individuals who come to a hospital emergency department and request or have a request made on their behalf for examination or treatment for a medical condition. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) applies to all these individuals, regardless of whether or not they are beneficiaries of any program under the Act. Section 1867 of the Act sets forth requirements for medical screening examinations for medical conditions, as well as necessary stabilizing treatment or appropriate transfer. Regulations implementing the EMTALA legislation are set forth at 42 CFR sections 489.20(l), (m), (q) and (r) and sections 489.24. Section 945 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108–173), mandates that the Secretary establish a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for advice concerning issues related to EMTALA regulations and implementation. Section 945 of the MMA specifies that the EMTALA TAG— • Shall review the EMTALA regulations; • May provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary concerning these regulations and their application to hospitals and physicians; • Shall solicit comments and recommendations from hospitals, physicians, and the public regarding implementation of such regulations; and • May disseminate information concerning the application of these regulations to hospitals, physicians, and the public. The EMTALA TAG, as chartered under section 945 of the MMA, is also governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2) for the selection of members and the conduct of all meetings. In the May 28, 2004 Federal Register (69 FR 30654), we specified the statutory requirements regarding the charter, general responsibilities, and structure of the EMTALA TAG. That notice also solicited nominations for members based on the statutory requirements for the EMTALA TAG. In E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM 29SEN1

ACTION: Correction notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects technical errors that appeared in the 
July 31, 2006 Federal Register, entitled ``Medicare Program; 
Prospective Payment System and Consolidated Billing for Skilled Nursing 
Facilities--Update--Notice.''
    Effective Date: This correction is effective October 1, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill Ullman, (410) 786-5667.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 57520]]

I. Background

    In FR Doc. 06-6615 of July 31, 2006 (71 FR 43158), there were 
several technical errors that this notice serves to identify and 
correct. One correction involves Table 10, which we use to illustrate 
the skilled nursing facility (SNF) prospective payment system (PPS) 
payment rate computations for a fictitious ``XYZ'' SNF located in Cedar 
Rapids, IA. In the example that appears in this table, RUG Group 
``CC2'' serves to illustrate the effect on the payment rates of 
applying the 128 percent add-on for SNF residents with AIDS under 
section 511 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 
Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA, P.L. 108-173). The table includes a 
footnote, marked with an asterisk that describes the MMA adjustment; 
however, we inadvertently omitted the corresponding asterisk within the 
table itself to identify the particular figure in the table to which 
this footnote refers. Accordingly, in section II of this document 
(``Correction of Errors''), we are restoring the asterisk that belongs 
next to the adjusted CC2 amount of ``$542.54'' that appears in Table 
10's ``Percent Adjustment'' column.
    In addition, in Table 12 (which displays the projected impact of 
the FY 2007 SNF PPS payment update, including the variation in impact 
by region and by certain other facility characteristics), we are 
correcting errors pertaining to the rural Outlying region. In the 
projected impact for the rural Outlying region, we inadvertently 
entered the incorrect figures of ``-2.9%'' and ``3.3%'' in the columns 
entitled ``Transition to CBSA'' and ``Total FY 2007 change,'' 
respectively. In this notice, we correct these figures to read ``0.0%'' 
and ``6.4%,'' respectively, and we also make corresponding revisions in 
the text of the narrative that accompanies Table 12. We note that the 
effect on the corrected table is solely distributional in nature and, 
accordingly, there is no change in the estimated aggregate expenditures 
for FY 2007 as set forth in the July 31, 2006 update notice. A further 
discussion of the projected impact of the FY 2007 SNF PPS payment 
update appears in the July 31, 2006 update notice (71 FR 43173-43176).
    Finally, we have determined that in the process of developing the 
most recent hospital wage index, we inadvertently used incorrect wage 
information for two providers. These two providers notified their 
fiscal intermediary in a timely fashion that their wage data were 
incorrect and we agreed to correct the wage data for these two 
providers. However, we inadvertently published the uncorrected wage 
data in the July 31, 2006 update notice. Incorporating their corrected 
data into our calculation of the national average hourly wage results 
in revised wage index values for a number of Core-Based Statistical 
Areas (CBSAs). Accordingly, we are revising and republishing Tables 8 
and 9, which appeared in an addendum to the July 31, 2006 update 
notice, to reflect the correct information.

II. Correction of Errors

    In FR Doc. 06-6615 (71 FR 43158), make the following corrections:
    1. On page 43170, Table 10, in the ``Percent adj'' column, the 
figure ``$542.54'' is revised to read ``$542.54*''.
    2. On page 43174, third column,
    a. In the first paragraph, line 10, the figure ``3.2 percent'' is 
revised to read ``6.4 percent''.
    b. In the final paragraph, the second sentence is revised to read 
as follows: ``For example, though facilities in the rural Mountain 
region experience only a slight payment increase of 1.2 percent, some 
providers (such as those in the rural Outlying region) show a greater 
increase of 6.4 percent. `` In the third sentence, the phrase ``urban 
Mountain'' is revised to read ``rural Outlying''.
    3. On page 43175, Table 12, the entries displayed for the rural 
Outlying region in the columns entitled ``Transition to full CBSA'' and 
``Total FY 2007 change'' are revised to read ``0.0%'' and ``6.4%'', 
respectively.
    4. On pages 43176 through 43198, Table 8 is revised to read as 
follows:
