Responses per

NHSC-approved clinical sites located
throughout the country within eligible
Health Professional Shortage Areas. The
purpose of the program is to increase
access to primary care services in
underserved communities and to assist
sites in their efforts to recruit providers
and become self-sustaining. In addition
to providing direct patient care at the
site where the officer is stationed, each
Ready Responder typically works with
the sites to develop various programs
and activities such as emergency
preparedness and response, patient
education, staff development, staff
recruitment, and sound business
practices. Moreover, they are specially
trained to deploy in the event of a local,
regional, and national emergency.
This application will be used by
NHSC sites to request the assignment of
a NHSC Ready Responder. The
document requires the applicant to
describe the needs in their community
and at their respective sites. The
application also asks the site to describe
the roles and responsibilities of the
prospective Ready Responder.
Completed applications will be
collected and reviewed by NHSC staff.

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
and Delay in 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 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 notice and comment
procedure if the Secretary finds, for
good cause, that the notice and
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
comment process is impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest, and incorporates a statement of
the finding and the reasons in the
notice.
Section 553(d) of the APA ordinarily
requires a 30-day delay in the effective
date of rules after the date of their
publication in the Federal Register.
This 30-day delay in the effective date
can be waived, however, if an agency
finds for good cause that the delay is

impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, and the agency
incorporates a statement of the findings
and its reasons in the rule issued. This
notice merely corrects typographical
errors in the addendum of the RY 2010
IPF PPS notice and does not make any
substantive changes to the policies or
payment methodologies. The correct
policies were implemented as of July 1,
2009. We are simply conforming the RY
2010 IPF PPS notice to those policies by
