SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In FR Doc. E6-20131 of November 27, 2006 (71 FR 68708), there were 
technical errors that we identify in the ``Summary of Errors'' section 
and correct in the ``Correction of Errors'' section below.

II. Summary of Errors

    In the November 27, 2006 final rule, on page 68719, we included a 
table that contained an incorrect entry in one row, also resulting in 
an incorrect aggregate burden amount. This notice will correct those 
errors.

III. Correction of Errors

    Make the following corrections to the November 27, 2006 final rule 
(71 FR 68708):
    1. On page 68719, in the table--
    A. In the fifth column, in the third entry, change the annual 
burden hours from ``140,834'' to ``130,000.''
    B. In the fifth column, in the fourth entry, change the annual 
burden hours from ``2,914,168'' to ``2,903,334.''
    The revised table should read as follows:

                                  Aggregate Hourly Burden for This Requirement
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       Time per
              Notices                  delivery       Fee-for-service          Managed care       Annual burden

Detailed Notice....................          60   113,000...............  17,000...............          130,000
                                    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Total Burden...................  ...........  ......................  .....................        2,903,334
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. On page 68719, in the first column, in line 3, change the annual 
burden hours from 2,914,618 to 2,903,334.

IV. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    We ordinarily publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in the 
Federal Register to provide a period for public comment before the 
provisions of a rule take effect in accordance with section 553(b) of 
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). However, we 
can waive this procedure if the Secretary finds, for good cause, that 
the notice and comment process is impracticable, unnecessary, or 
contrary to the public interest, and incorporates a statement of 
finding and the reasons therefore in the notice.
    The revisions in this document merely correct inadvertent technical 
errors. The revisions help ensure that the rules governing the Medicare 
administrative appeals process are more understandable and less 
ambiguous and protect the rights of all parties to pursue Medicare 
claims appeals under these procedures. For this reason, and because 
these technical corrections are not substantive in nature, we find that 
undertaking notice and comment rulemaking to incorporate these 
corrections into the final rule is unnecessary and contrary to the 
public interest.
