Background
ACTION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
AGENCY:
The Social Security Act requires
annual increases in Social Security
benefits to keep up with increases in the
cost-of-living as measured by the CPI. In
order to provide more accurate
information regarding increases in the
CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will
begin publishing the CPI to the third,
rather than the first, decimal place for
January 2007. The effect of this change
on benefit amounts is negligible. For
additional information on cost-of-living
increases and the types of benefits
affected, see §§ 404.270 and 404.271.
SUMMARY: We are revising our rules that
deal with automatic cost-of-living
increases to primary insurance amounts
under title II of the Social Security Act
(the Act). The revision is necessary
because, beginning with the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for January 2007, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish
the CPI to three decimal places. The CPI
is currently published to one decimal
place as is now reflected in our
regulations. With this revision, our rules
will conform to the change in the
reporting of the CPI.
DATES: These regulations are effective
January 18, 2007.

Explanation of Changes
We have revised § 404.275(a) by
replacing the current language stating
that we will round the calculations of
the CPI average to the nearest 0.1 with
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
language stating that we will round the
CPI average ‘‘to the same number of
decimal places as the published CPI
figures.’’ In addition, we added language
stating that when a different number of
decimal places is used for the beginning
and ending quarters, we will use the
number for the ending quarter.
Therefore, since the CPI is now
published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to the third decimal place,
rather than the first, our computation of
quarterly average CPI’s will be
consistent with such publication.
Regulatory Procedures
Pursuant to section 702(a)(5) of the
Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 902(a)(5),
as amended by section 102 of Public
Law 103–296, SSA follows the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
rulemaking procedures specified in 5
U.S.C. 553 in the development of its
regulations. The APA provides
exceptions to its notice and public
comment procedures when an agency
finds there is good cause for dispensing
with such procedures on the basis that
they are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest.
In the case of these final rules, we
have determined that, under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), good cause exists for
dispensing with the notice and public
comment procedures in this case
because these regulations merely
conform our rules to reflect the way the
Bureau of Labor Statistics now
publishes the CPI. Also, these
