Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee; Notice of Meeting, 64956-64957 [2013-25588]

Download as PDF 64956 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 30, 2013 / Notices analysis for the RFA because the Secretary has determined that this notice will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In addition, section 1102(b) of the Social Security Act requires us to prepare a regulatory impact analysis if a rule may have a significant impact on the operations of a substantial number of small rural hospitals. This analysis must conform to the provisions of section 604 of the RFA. For purposes of section 1102(b) of the Act, we define a small rural hospital as a hospital that is located outside of a Metropolitan Statistical Area for Medicare payment regulations and has fewer than 100 beds. As discussed above, we are not preparing an analysis for section 1102(b) of the Act because the Secretary has determined that this notice will not have a significant impact on the operations of a substantial number of small rural hospitals. Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 also requires that agencies assess anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule whose mandates require spending in any 1 year of $100 million in 1995 dollars, updated annually for inflation. For 2013, that threshold accounting for inflation is approximately $141 million. This notice does not impose mandates that will have a consequential effect of $141 million or more on state, local, or tribal governments or on the private sector. However, states may be required to pay the deductibles and coinsurance for dually-eligible beneficiaries. Executive Order 13132 establishes certain requirements that an agency must meet when it promulgates a proposed rule (and subsequent final rule) that imposes substantial direct requirement costs on state and local governments, preempts state law, or otherwise has Federalism implications. Since this notice does not impose any costs on state or local governments, preempt state law or have Federalism implications, the requirements of Executive Order 13132 are not applicable. emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Program No. 93.773, Medicare—Hospital Insurance) Dated: September 20, 2013.
