ACTION: Withdrawal in part of direct final rule. AGENCY: On September 19, 2012, the Federal Register published a direct final rule and a companion proposed rule issuing listings for three fire suppressants under EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy program. Because EPA received adverse comment concerning C7 Fluoroketone, we are withdrawing that part of the direct final rule that listed C7 Fluoroketone acceptable subject to narrowed use limits as a substitute for halon 1211.

The published versions of notices and rulemakings under the SNAP program are available on EPA’s Stratospheric Ozone Web site at https://www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/regs. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 19, 2012, the Federal Register published a direct final rule and a companion proposed rule issuing listings for three fire suppressants under EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy program (77 FR 58035). Because EPA received adverse comment concerning C7 Fluoroketone, we are withdrawing that part of the direct final rule that listed C7 Fluoroketone. The listing would have found C7 Fluoroketone acceptable subject to narrowed use limits, as a substitute for halon 1211 for use as a streaming agent in portable fire extinguishers in nonresidential applications. We stated in that direct final rule that if we received adverse comment by October 19, 2012, that we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. We subsequently received one adverse comment on that part of the direct final rule, but no comments on the other listings in the direct final rule. The other listings in that direct final rule, finding Powdered Aerosol F and Powdered Aerosol G acceptable subject to use conditions as substitutes for halon 1301 for use as a total flooding agent in normally unoccupied areas, will take effect on December 18, 2012. EPA intends to address the adverse comment concerning C7 Fluoroketone in a subsequent final action, which will be based on the parallel proposed rule published on September 19, 2012 (77 FR 58081). As stated in the direct final rule and the parallel proposed rule, we will not institute a second comment period on this action. DATES: Dated: December 5, 2012.

Background In FR Doc. 2012–26507 of November 6, 2012 (77 FR 66670), there were a number of technical errors that are identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section below. The provisions in this correction document are effective as if they had been included in the document published November 6, 2012. Accordingly, the corrections are effective January 1, 2013. II. Summary of Errors In the November 6, 2012 final rule (77 FR 66670), we inadvertently published E:\FR\FM\14DER1.SGM 14DER1 74382 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 241 / Friday, December 14, 2012 / Rules and Regulations technical errors in § 447.400(a) and § 447.405 listed on page 66701. One correction ensures consistency between two sentences in the same paragraph and the other restores text inadvertently omitted from the final rule that had been included in the May 11, 2012 notice of proposed rulemaking (77 FR 27671) on pages 26789–90. Thus, we are correcting page 66701 to reflect the correct information. Correct the sentence to read, ‘‘Such physician then attests that he/she:’’. 2. On the same page, in the same column; in the last full paragraph, paragraph (a) reads, ‘‘For CYs 2013 and 2014, a state must pay for physician services described in § 447.400 based on:’’. Correct the sentence to read, ‘‘For CYs 2013 and 2014, a state must pay for physician services described in § 447.400 based on the lower of:’’. III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Program No. 93.773, Medicare—Hospital Insurance; and Program No. 93.774, Medicare—Supplementary Medical Insurance Program) 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 comment process is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, and incorporates a statement of the finding and the reasons therefore in the notice. Section 553(d) of the APA ordinarily requires a 30-day delay in effective date of final rules after the date of their publication in the Federal Register. 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. The policies expressed in final rule (77 FR 66670) have been previously subjected to notice and comment procedures. This notice merely provides a technical correction to the final rule and does not make substantive changes to the policies or methodologies that were expressed in the final rule. One technical correction ensures consistency of two sentences of the same paragraph, and the other restores text that had been present in the notice of proposed rulemaking (77 FR 27671) but inadvertently omitted from the final rule text. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to undertake further notice and comment procedures with respect to this correction notice and find good cause to waive notice and comment procedures and the 30-day delay in the effective date for this correction notice. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with IV.

This final rule contains several administrative changes that will not substantially change the content of the regulation. Changes include adding correct citations; correcting office names; updating vehicle license tag ordering procedures; correcting the excess personal property screening timeframe; revising the contractor’s reporting of sensitive item listing; and retaining the definition of ‘‘Capital Equipment’’ which was included in the proposed rule for deletion. After further analysis, it is necessary to retain the ‘‘Capital Equipment’’ definition for the purpose of this rule. In addition, during the review of the final rule, it was discovered that section 952.245–5 referenced FAR 52.245–5 which is ‘‘Reserved’’ under the FAR rewrite. II. Comment Resolution. This final rule follows a notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on March 4, 2011, 76 FR 11985. There were no comments received as a result of that proposed rulemaking. III. Section-by-Section Analysis DOE is amending the DEAR as follows: 1. Section 908.1102 is amended by redesignating paragraph (a) (4) as 908.1102–70 Vehicle leasing to conform to the FAR convention, and adding the phrase ‘‘All subsequent lease renewals or extensions may be exercised only when General Service Administration (GSA) has advised that it cannot furnish the vehicle(s) as prescribed herein.’’ 2. Section 908.1104(f) is amended by removing ‘‘Federal Property Management Regulation (FPMR) 41 CFR 101–38.6.’’ and adding in its place ‘‘Federal Management Regulation (FMR) 41 CFR 102–34.160, 102–34.175 and 102–34.80’’ to provide the updated citation. 3. Section 908.7101–2 (a) is amended by removing ‘‘FPMR 41 CFR 101– 25.304, 101–26.501, and 101–38.13 and DOE–PMR 41 CFR 109–25.304, 109– E:\FR\FM\14DER1.SGM 14DER1

Medicaid Program; Payments for Services Furnished by Certain 
Primary Care Physicians and Charges for Vaccine Administration Under

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects technical errors that appeared in the 
final rule published in the November 6, 2012 Federal Register entitled 
``Medicaid Program; Payments for Services Furnished by Certain Primary 
Care Physicians and Charges for Vaccine Administration under the 
Vaccines for Children Program.''

DATES: Effective Date: The provisions of this final rule are effective 
on January 1, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Mary Cieslicki, (410) 786-4576, or 
Linda Tavener, (410) 786-3838, for issues related to payments for 
primary care physicians.
    Mary Beth Hance, (410) 786-4299, for issues related to charges for 
the administration of pediatric vaccines.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In FR Doc. 2012-26507 of November 6, 2012 (77 FR 66670), there were 
a number of technical errors that are identified and corrected in the 
Correction of Errors section below. The provisions in this correction 
document are effective as if they had been included in the document 
published November 6, 2012. Accordingly, the corrections are effective 
January 1, 2013.

II. Summary of Errors

    In the November 6, 2012 final rule (77 FR 66670), we inadvertently 
published

[[Page 74382]]

technical errors in Sec.  447.400(a) and Sec.  447.405 listed on page 
66701. One correction ensures consistency between two sentences in the 
same paragraph and the other restores text inadvertently omitted from 
the final rule that had been included in the May 11, 2012 notice of 
proposed rulemaking (77 FR 27671) on pages 26789-90. Thus, we are 
correcting page 66701 to reflect the correct information.

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    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 comment process is impracticable, 
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, and incorporates a 
statement of the finding and the reasons therefore in the notice.
    Section 553(d) of the APA ordinarily requires a 30-day delay in 
effective date of final rules after the date of their publication in 
the Federal Register. 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. The policies expressed in final rule (77 FR 66670) have 
been previously subjected to notice and comment procedures. This notice 
merely provides a technical correction to the final rule and does not 
make substantive changes to the policies or methodologies that were 
expressed in the final rule. One technical correction ensures 
consistency of two sentences of the same paragraph, and the other 
restores text that had been present in the notice of proposed 
rulemaking (77 FR 27671) but inadvertently omitted from the final rule 
text. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to undertake further notice and 
comment procedures with respect to this correction notice and find good 
cause to waive notice and comment procedures and the 30-day delay in 
the effective date for this correction notice.

IV. Correction of Errors

    In FR Doc. 2012-26507 of November 6, 2012 (77 FR 66670), make the 
following corrections:
    1. On page 66701, in the first column; in the last full sentence, 
in the first partial paragraph, the sentence reads, ``A physician self-
attests that he/she:''. Correct the sentence to read, ``Such physician 
then attests that he/she:''.
    2. On the same page, in the same column; in the last full 
paragraph, paragraph (a) reads, ``For CYs 2013 and 2014, a state must 
pay for physician services described in Sec.  447.400 based on:''. 
Correct the sentence to read, ``For CYs 2013 and 2014, a state must pay 
for physician services described in Sec.  447.400 based on the lower 
of:''.
