SUMMARY:
I. Background
In FR Doc. 2010–17621 of July 22,
2010 (75 FR 42836), there was a
technical error that we are identifying
and correcting in the ‘‘Correction of
Errors’’ section below. The provisions in
this correction notice are effective as if
they had been included in the document
published July 22, 2010. Accordingly,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:33 Nov 15, 2010
Jkt 223001
the corrections are effective October 1,
2010.
II. Summary of Errors
In the July 22, 2010 notice (75 FR
42836), we applied our established
formula for calculating the national
cost-to-charge (CCR) ceiling. Using that
formula, the national CCR ceiling
should have been calculated to be 1.61.
It was inadvertently listed on page
42856 as 2.94 due to a calculation error.
Thus, we are correcting page 42856 to
reflect the correct result of the
application of the established formula.
The corrected national CCR ceiling is
1.61 for FY 2011.
III. Correction of Errors
In FR Doc. 2010—17621 of July 22,
2010 (75 FR 42836), make the following
corrections:
1. On page 42856, in column 1, in line
23 from the top of the page, the value
‘‘2.94’’ is corrected to read ‘‘1.61.’’
2. On page 42856, in column 1, in line
25 from the top of the page, the value
‘‘2.94’’ is corrected to read ‘‘1.61.’’
IV. 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 rule
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 rule
in accordance with section 553(d) of the
APA (5 U.S.C. 553(d)). However, we can
waive both notice and comment
procedures and the 30-day delay in
effective date if the Secretary finds, for
good cause, that such procedures are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, and incorporates
a statement of the finding and the
reasons into the notice.
The policies and payment
methodology expressed in the FY 2011
IRF PPS notice (75 FR 42836) have
previously been subjected to notice and
comment procedures. This correction
notice merely provides a technical
correction to the FY 2011 notice, and
does not make substantive changes to
the policies or payment methodologies
that were expressed in that notice.
Therefore, we find it unnecessary to
undertake further notice and comment
procedures with respect to this
correction notice. We also believe that it
is in the public interest (and would be
contrary to the public interest to do
otherwise) to waive notice and comment
procedures and the 30-day delay in
effective date for this notice. This
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
70013
correction notice is intended to ensure
that the FY 2011 IRF PPS notice
accurately reflects the payment
methodologies and policies expressed in
the notice, and that the correct
information is made available to the
public. Therefore, we find good cause to
waive notice and comment procedures
and the 30-day delay in the effective
date for this correction notice.
