2. Effects of the Extension of the MDH
Program
1. Effects of the Extension of the
Payment Adjustment for Low-Volume
Hospitals
The extension of the MDH program in
FY 2013 as provided for under section
606 of the ATRA is a non-budget neutral
payment provision. Hospitals that
qualify to be MDHs receive the higher
of operating IPPS payments made under
the Federal standardized amount or the
payments made under the Federal
standardized amount plus 75 percent of
the difference between the Federal
standardized amount and the hospitalspecific rate (a hospital-specific costbased rate). Because this provision is
not budget neutral, we estimate that the
extension of this payment provision will
result in a 0.2 percent increase in
payments overall. Prior to the extension
of the MDH program, there were 213
MDHs, of which 98 were estimated to be
paid under the blended payment of the
Federal standardized amount and
hospital-specific rate in FY 2013.
Because those 98 MDHs will now
receive the blended payment (that is,
the Federal standardized amount plus
75 percent of the difference between the
Federal standardized amount and the
hospital-specific rate) in FY 2013, we
estimate that those hospitals will
This notice provides descriptions of
the statutory provisions that are
addressed and identifies policies for
implementing these provisions. Due to
the prescriptive nature of the statutory
provisions, no alternatives were
considered.
The extension, for FY 2013, of the
temporary changes to the payment
adjustment for low-volume hospitals
(originally provided for by the
Affordable Care Act for FYs 2011 and
2012) as provided for under section 605
of the ATRA is a non-budget neutral
payment provision. The provisions of
the Affordable Care Act expanded the
definition of low-volume hospital and
modified the methodology for
determining the payment adjustment for
hospitals meeting that definition for FYs
2011 and 2012. Prior to the enactment
of the ATRA, beginning with FY 2013,
the low-volume hospital definition and
payment adjustment methodology was
to return to the statutory requirements
that were in effect prior to the
amendments made by the Affordable
Care Act. With the additional year
extension provided for by the ATRA,
based on FY 2011 claims data (March
2012 update of the MedPAR file), we
estimate that approximately 600
hospitals will now qualify as a low-

F. Accounting Statement and Table
As required by OMB Circular A–4
(available at https://www.whitehousegov/
omb/circulars/a004/a-4.pdf), in Table I
below, we have prepared an accounting
statement showing the classification of
expenditures associated with the
provisions of this notice as they relate
to acute care hospitals. This table
provides our best estimate of the change
in Medicare payments to providers as a
result of the changes to the IPPS
presented in this notice. All
expenditures are classified as transfers
from the Federal government to
Medicare providers. As previously
discussed, relative to what was
projected in the FY 2013 IPPS/LTCH
PPS final rule, the changes in this notice
for implementing sections 605 and 606
of the ATRA are projected to increase
FY 2013 payments to IPPS hospitals by
$509 million.

from FEMA’s Community Status Book
(CSB). The CSB is available at https://
www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.
DATES: Effective dates: The effective
date of each community’s scheduled
suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’)
listed in the third column of the
following tables.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended
on the suspension date or for further
information, contact David Stearrett,
Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP
enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not
otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities
agree to adopt and administer local
floodplain management measures aimed
at protecting lives and new construction
from future flooding. Section 1315 of
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022,
prohibits the sale of NFIP flood
insurance unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain
management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The
communities listed in this document no
longer meet that statutory requirement
for compliance with program
regulations, 44 CFR part 59.
Accordingly, the communities will be
suspended on the effective date in the
third column. As of that date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in
the community. We recognize that some
of these communities may adopt and
submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain
management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual
suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue
to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood
insurance. A notice withdrawing the

suspension of such communities will be
published in the Federal Register.
In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been
published, is indicated in the fourth
column of the table. No direct Federal
financial assistance (except assistance
pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act not in connection with a
flood) may be provided for construction
or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not
participating in the NFIP and identified
for more than a year on FEMA’s initial
FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This
prohibition against certain types of
Federal assistance becomes effective for
the communities listed on the date
shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and
public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and
unnecessary because communities listed
in this final rule have been adequately
notified.
Each community receives 6-month,
90-day, and 30-day notification letters
addressed to the Chief Executive Officer
stating that the community will be
suspended unless the required
floodplain management measures are
met prior to the effective suspension
date. Since these notifications were
made, this final rule may take effect
within less than 30 days.

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying
the current participation status of a community can be obtained
[[Page 14695]]
from FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at https://www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.
DATES: Effective dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third

particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-2953.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue to be eligible for the sale of
NFIP flood insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of such
communities will be published in the Federal Register.
In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
