Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 1, 2008 / Rules and Regulations that the entries for this value that appear in the ‘‘wage index’’ column of the table itself, as well as the corresponding entry for CBSA 16300 in Table 8 (‘‘FY 2009 Wage Index for Urban Areas Based on CBSA Labor Market Areas,’’ which appeared as an addendum to the August 8, 2008 final rule), both correctly reflect this value as 0.8919. In addition, in the addendum to the August 8, 2008 final rule, we are revising an entry in Table 9 (‘‘FY 2009 Wage Index Based on CBSA Labor Market Areas for Rural Areas’’) in order to correct a technical error made to the wage data for one inpatient hospital provider in rural New Hampshire. We are revising the wage index value displayed in Table 9 for rural New Hampshire from ‘‘1.0182’’ to the corrected value of ‘‘1.0219’’. Since this revision involves only a single entry in Table 9, we are not republishing the table in its entirety in this notice; however, we note that the corrected version of this table is available on the SNF PPS Web site, which can be accessed online at https:// www.cms.hhs.gov/SNFPPS/. ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with RULES III. Correction of Errors In FR Doc. E8–17948 (73 FR 46416), make the following corrections: 1. On page 46430, in Table 10, the wage index value ‘‘0.8924’’ displayed in the title is revised to read ‘‘0.8919’’. 2. On page 46462, in Table 9, in the wage index column for New Hampshire, State code 30, the wage index value ‘‘1.0182’’ is revised to read ‘‘1.0219’’. IV. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking and Delayed Effective Date We ordinarily publish a proposed rule in the Federal Register to provide a period for public comment before the provisions of a rule 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 for it 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:26 Sep 30, 2008 Jkt 217001 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 2009 SNF PPS final rule accurately reflects them. Therefore, we believe that undertaking further notice and comment procedures to incorporate these corrections into the final rule 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 2009 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.
