VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:27 Jun 04, 2010 Jkt 220001 AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services. ACTION: Notice with comment period. SUMMARY: For purposes of Title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act, the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), defined in section 1905(b) of the Social Security Act, for each state beginning with fiscal year 2006 is subject to adjustment pursuant to section 614 of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), Public Law 111–3. Section 614 provides for a recalculation of the FMAP disregarding identifiable significantly disproportionate employer pension or insurance fund contributions for a state. These contributions, when counted, increase state personal income and, by operation of the statutory formula to calculate the FMAP, would decrease the FMAP for the state. This notice announces the proposed methodology that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will use to determine the need for, and amount of, any such recalculation of the FMAP for a state. DATES: Comment Date: To be assured consideration, comment must be received at the address provided below, no later than 5 p.m. EST on July 7, 2010. PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ADDRESSES: Because of staff and resource limitations, we can only accept comments by regular mail. You may mail written comments (one original and one copy) to the following address only: Department of Health and Human Services, Room 447D, Attention: FMAP Adjustment Notice—CHIPRA, 200 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20201. Submitting Comments: We welcome comments from the public on all issues set forth in this notice with comment period to assist us in fully considering issues and developing policies. Please provide a reference to the section on which you choose to comment. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background Section 1905(b) of the Social Security Act defines the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), which is used to determine the share of federal matching funds paid to each state for medical assistance payments under an approved Medicaid State plan under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. These FMAP rates are also used to determine federal matching fund rates for state expenditures for assistance payments under certain social service programs under Title IV of the Social Security Act and for child health assistance expenditures under the Children’s Health Insurance Program under title XXI of the Social Security Act. In other Federal Register issuances, we have addressed changes to these FMAP rates required under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5). This notice addresses adjustments to the FMAP rates that are applicable only to the Medicaid program and required by Section 614 of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA). Section 614 specifies that certain significantly disproportionate employer pension or insurance fund contributions shall be disregarded when computing the per capita income used to calculate the FMAP. The statutory formula for calculating the FMAP is based on the ratio of the state’s per capita income to the per capita income of the entire United States. Under this formula, states with higher per capita income levels could have lower FMAP rates than states with lower per capita income levels. Significantly disproportionate employer pension or insurance fund contributions increase state personal income and, by operation of the statutory formula, could result in lower FMAPs than if those contributions were disregarded. CHIPRA requires adjustments to the Fiscal Year 2006 E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM 07JNN1
