Section 2794(c) requires the Secretary to establish Premium Review Grants to States to assist States to implement this provision. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the Rate Review Grants Cycle I funding opportunity twice; first to States (and the District of Columbia) in June 2010 and then to the territories and the five States that did not apply during the first release, (https://www.hhs.gov/ociio/ initiative/final_premium_review_grant_ solicitation.pdf). The second release was due to the decision that the territories were subject to provisions of the ACA and hence eligible for the Rate Review Grants. 46 States and 5 U.S. territories plus the District of Columbia were awarded grants. CCIIO is seeking to publish the Cycle II Funding Opportunity Announcement and associated grantee reporting requirements consisting of (4) quarterly reports, rate review transaction data (quarterly), (1) annual report per year, and (1) final report from all grantees.

ACTION: Correction of notice of CMS ruling. AGENCY: This document corrects technical errors that appeared in the notice of CMS ruling published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2011 entitled ‘‘Hospice Wage Index for Fiscal Year 2012’’.

SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In FR Doc. 2011–10694 of May 9, 2011 (76 FR 26731), there were technical errors that are identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section below. The provisions in this correction notice are effective as if they had been included in the notice of CMS ruling published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2011. Accordingly, the corrections are effective May 9, 2011. II. Summary of Errors The title of the notice of CMS Ruling published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2011 (76 FR 26731) was incorrectly titled as ‘‘Hospice Wage Index for Fiscal Year 2012’’. We note that the title should have been ‘‘Hospice Appeals for Review of an Overpayment Determination’’, to coincide with the ruling posted on our CMS Web site on April 14, 2011. In addition, the effective date of the notice of CMS Ruling was incorrectly listed. We are correcting the date by changing it from ‘‘April 14, 2011’’ to ‘‘May 9, 2011’’, the date it was published in the Federal Register. III. Correction of Errors In FR Doc. 2011–10694 of May 9, 2011 (76 FR 26731), make the following corrections: 1. On page 26731, in the second column, in the heading, change the title of the notice of CMS ruling from ‘‘Hospice Wage Index for Fiscal Year 2012’’ to ‘‘Hospice Appeals for Review of an Overpayment Determination’’. 2. On page 26731, in the second column, under ‘‘Dates: Effective Date:’’ change the effective date from ‘‘April 14, 2011’’ to ‘‘May 9, 2011’’. Therefore, for reasons noted below, we find good cause to waive proposed rulemaking and the 30 day delayed effective date for the technical corrections in this notice. This notice merely provides technical corrections to the title and the effective date of the Notice of CMS ruling that was published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2011, and does not make substantive changes to the notice or to the CMS Ruling. Specifically, this correction notice corrects the title of the notice of CMS ruling from ‘‘Hospice Wage Index for Fiscal Year 2012’’ to ‘‘Hospice Appeals for Review of an Overpayment Determination,’’ to conform the title of the notice of CMS ruling to the title of CMS Ruling 1355– R; it also corrects the effective date of the notice of CMS ruling from the date the Ruling was signed to the date the notice of CMS ruling was published in the Federal Register.
