II. Summary of Errors
On page 70465 of the November 17,
2010 final rule, we made a technical
error in the amendatory instruction for
§ 424.550. In the amendatory instruction
#11, the phrase ‘‘adding paragraphs
(b)(1) and (b)(2)’’ is corrected to read
‘‘revising paragraph (b)(1) and adding
paragraph (b)(2)’’.
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 the notice and comment
procedure if the Secretary finds, for
good cause, that the 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
rule.
Section 553(d) of the APA ordinarily
requires a 30-day delay in the effective
date of final rules after the date of their
publication. This 30-day delay in
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 action merely corrects a
technical error in the amendatory
instruction for the regulations text in the
November 17, 2010 final rule that was
promulgated through notice and
comment rulemaking. We are in no way
changing the policy contained in that
rule. For this reason, we find that both
notice and comment and the 30-day
delay in effective date for this action are
unnecessary.
IV. Correction of Errors
In FR Doc. 2010–27778 of November
17, 2010 (75 FR 70372), make the
following correction:
§ 424.550
[Corrected]
On page 70465, in the 1st column;
amendatory instruction #11, the phrase
‘‘adding paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2)’’ is
corrected to read ‘‘revising paragraph
(b)(1) and adding paragraph (b)(2)’’.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In FR Doc. 2010-27778 of November 17, 2010 (75 FR 70372), there was
a technical error that is identified and corrected in this document.
The provisions of this notice are effective as if they had been
included in the Medicare Program; Home Health Prospective Payment
System Rate Update for Calendar Year 2011; Changes in Certification
Requirements for Home Health Agencies and Hospices'' final rule.
Accordingly, the corrections are effective January 1, 2011.
II. Summary of Errors
On page 70465 of the November 17, 2010 final rule, we made a
technical error in the amendatory instruction for Sec. 424.550. In the
amendatory instruction 11, the phrase ``adding paragraphs
(b)(1) and (b)(2)'' is corrected to read ``revising paragraph (b)(1)
and adding paragraph (b)(2)''.
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 the notice and comment procedure if the Secretary finds, for
good cause, that the 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 rule.
Section 553(d) of the APA ordinarily requires a 30-day delay in the
effective date of final rules after the date of their publication. This
30-day delay in 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 action merely corrects a technical error in the amendatory
instruction for the regulations text in the November 17, 2010 final
rule that was promulgated through notice and comment rulemaking. We are
in no way changing the policy contained in that rule. For this reason,
we find that both notice and comment and the 30-day delay in effective
date for this action are unnecessary.
