III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
and Delayed Effective Date
We ordinarily publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register to provide a period for public
comment before the provisions of a
notice such as this take effect in
accordance with section 553(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). We also ordinarily
provide a 30-day delay in the effective
date of the provisions of a notice in
accordance with section 553(d) of the
APA (5 U.S.C. 553(d)). However, we can
waive both the notice and comment
procedure and the 30-day delay in
effective date if the Secretary finds, for
good cause, that a notice and comment
process is impracticable, unnecessary or
contrary to the public interest, and
incorporates a statement of the finding
and the reasons therefore in the notice.
We find for good cause that it is
unnecessary to undertake notice and
comment rulemaking because this
notice merely provides technical
corrections to the regulations. 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. The public has
already had the opportunity to comment
on these payment methodologies and
policies, and this correction notice is
intended solely to ensure that the FY
2008 SNF PPS final rule accurately
reflects them. Therefore, we believe that
undertaking further notice and comment
procedures to incorporate these
corrections into the update notice is
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:21 Sep 27, 2007
Jkt 211001
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 2008 SNF PPS
final rule 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.
