has been approved by OMB.
Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, no person is required to respond to

The following statements are made in
accordance with the Privacy Act of

Provision of the information requested

consideration of the applicant as a

Information on nominees will be
furnished to the WTO pursuant to

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) has completed its
annual determination of the States that
qualify as Medically Underserved Areas
under the Federal Employees Health
Benefits (FEHB) Program for calendar
year 2008. This is necessary to comply
with a provision of the FEHB law that
mandates special consideration for
enrollees of certain FEHB plans who
receive covered health services in States
with critical shortages of primary care
physicians. Accordingly, for calendar
year 2008, OPM’s calculations show that
the following states are Medically
Underserved Areas under the FEHB
Program: Alabama, Arizona, Idaho,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
PO 00000
Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North
Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota,
and Wyoming. For the 2008 calendar
year Texas and West Virginia are being
removed from the list, and no new states
have been added.
DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2008.

Ingrid Burford, 202–606–0004.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEHB law
(5 U.S.C. 8902(m)(2)) mandates special
consideration for enrollees of certain
FEHB plans who receive covered health
services in States with critical shortages
of primary care physicians. The FEHB
law also requires that a State be
designated as a Medically Underserved
Area if 25 percent or more of the
population lives in an area designated
by the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a primary medical
care manpower shortage area. Such
States are designated as Medically
Underserved Areas for purposes of the
FEHB Program, and the law requires
non-HMO FEHB plans to reimburse
beneficiaries, subject to their contract
terms, for covered services obtained
from any licensed provider in these
States.
FEHB regulations (5 CFR 890.701)
require OPM to make an annual
determination of the States that qualify
as Medically Underserved Areas for the
next calendar year by comparing the
latest HHS State-by-State population
counts on primary medical care
manpower shortage areas with U.S.
Census figures on State resident
populations.
