FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rory Howe, (410) 786–4878; or Richard Strauss, (410) 786–2019. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: I. Background A. Fiscal Year DSH Allotments A state’s federal fiscal year (FY) disproportionate share hospital (DSH) allotment represents the aggregate limit on the federal share amount of the state’s payments to DSH hospitals in the state for the FY. The amount of such allotment is determined in accordance with the provisions of section 1923(f)(3) of the Social Security Act (the Act). Under such provisions, in general a state’s FY DSH allotment is calculated by increasing the amount of its DSH allotment for the preceding FY by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI–U) for the previous FY. The Affordable Care Act amended Medicaid DSH provisions, adding section 1923(f)(7) of the Act which would have required reductions to states’ FY DSH allotments beginning with FY 2014, the calculation of which was described in the Disproportionate Share Hospital Payment Reduction final rule published in the September 18, 2013 Federal Register (78 FR 57293). Under the DSH reduction methodology, first, each state’s unreduced FY DSH allotment would have been calculated in accordance with the provisions of section 1923(f) of the Act, excluding section 1923(f)(7) of the Act; then, the reduction amount for each state would have been determined under the provisions of section 1923(f)(7) of the Act and implementing regulations at 42 CFR 447.294; and, finally, the net FY DSH allotment for each state would have been determined by subtracting the DSH reduction amount for the state from its unreduced FY 2014 DSH allotment. The reductions under section 1923(f)(7) of the Act were delayed and modified by section 1204 of Division B (Medicare and Other Health Provisions) PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of the ‘‘Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013’’ (Pub. L. 113–67), which was enacted on December 26, 2013. The reductions of states’ fiscal year DSH allotments under section 1923(f)(7) of the Act that were applicable to FY 2014 and 2015 were repealed, and the FY 2016 was increased substantially. Because there is no reduction to DSH allotments for FY 2014 under section 1923(f)(7) of the Act, this notice contains only the state-specific FY 2014 DSH allotments, as calculated under the statute without application of the reductions that would have been imposed under the Affordable Care Act provisions beginning with FY 2014. This notice also provides information on the calculation of such FY DSH allotments, the calculation of the states’ IMD DSH limits, and the amounts of states’ preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH limits. B. Determination of Fiscal Year DSH Allotments Generally, in accordance with the methodology specified under section 1923(f)(3) of the Act, a state’s FY DSH allotment is calculated by increasing the amount of its DSH allotment for the preceding FY by the percentage change in the CPI–U for the previous FY. Also in accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of the Act, a state’s DSH allotment for a FY is subject to the limitation that an increase to a state’s DSH allotment for a FY cannot result in the DSH allotment exceeding the greater of the state’s DSH allotment for the previous FY or 12 percent of the state’s total medical assistance expenditures for the allotment year (this is referred to as the 12 percent limit). Furthermore, under section 1923(h) of the Act, federal financial participation (FFP) for DSH payments to institutions for mental diseases (IMDs) and other mental health facilities is limited to state-specific aggregate amounts. Under this provision, the aggregate limit for DSH payments to IMDs and other mental health facilities is the lesser of a state’s FY 1995 total computable (state and federal share) IMD and other mental health facility DSH expenditures applicable to the state’s FY 1995 DSH allotment (as reported on the Form CMS–64 as of January 1, 1997), or the amount equal to the product of the state’s current year total computable DSH allotment and the applicable percentage specified in section 1902(h) of the Act (the applicable percentage is the IMD share of DSH total computable expenditures as of FY 1995). In general, we determine states’ DSH allotments for a FY and the IMD DSH limits for the same FY using the most E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM 28FEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 40 / Friday, February 28, 2014 / Notices recent available estimates of or actual medical assistance expenditures, including DSH expenditures in their Medicaid programs and the most recent available change in the CPI–U used for the FY in accordance with the methodology prescribed in the statute. The indicated estimated or actual expenditures are obtained from states for each relevant FY from the most recent available quarterly Medicaid budget reports (Form CMS–37) or quarterly Medicaid expenditure reports (Form CMS–64), respectively, submitted by the states. For example, as part of the initial determination of a state’s FY DSH allotment (referred to as the preliminary DSH allotments) that is determined before the beginning of the FY for which the DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits are being determined, we use estimated expenditures for the FY obtained from the August submission of the CMS–37 submitted by states prior to the beginning of the FY; such estimated expenditures are subject to update and revision during the FY before such actual expenditure data become available. We also use the most recent available estimated CPI–U percentage change that is available before the beginning of the FY for determining the states’ preliminary FY DSH allotments; such estimated CPI–U percentage change is subject to update and revision during the FY before the actual CPI–U percentage change becomes available. In determining the final DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits for a FY we use the actual expenditures for the FY and actual CPI–U percentage change for the previous FY. II. Provisions of the Notice tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES A. Calculation of the Preliminary FY 2014 Federal Share State DSH Allotments and the Preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH Limits 1. Calculation of the Preliminary FY 2014 Federal Share State DSH Allotments Addendum 1 to this notice provides the preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments determined in accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of the Act. The preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments contained in this notice were determined based on the most recent available estimates from states of their FY 2014 total computable Medicaid expenditures. Also, the preliminary FY 2014 allotments contained in this notice were determined by increasing the preliminary FY 2013 DSH allotments as contained in the notice published in the Federal Register on July 26, 2013 (78 FR 45217) by 1.5 percent, representing the most recent available estimate of the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:47 Feb 27, 2014 Jkt 232001 percentage increase in the CPI–U for FY 2013 (the previous FY to FY 2014). We will publish states’s final FY 2014 DSH allotments in future notices based on the states’ four quarterly Medicaid expenditure reports (Form CMS–64) for FY 2014 available following the end of FY 2014 and the actual change in the CPI–U for FY 2013. B. Calculation of the Preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH Limits Section 1923(h) of the Act specifies the methodology to be used to establish the limits on the amount of DSH payments that a state can make to IMDs and other mental health facilities. FFP is not available for IMD or DSH payments that exceed the IMD limits. In this notice, we are publishing the preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH Limits determined in accordance with the provisions discussed above. Addendum 2 to this notice details each state’s preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH Limit, determined in accordance with section 1923(h) of the Act. III. Collection of Information Requirements This notice does not impose any new or revised information collection, recordkeeping, or third-party disclosure requirements. The currently approved requirements and burden estimates associated with Form CMS–37 (OCN 0938–0101) and Form CMS–64 (OCN 0938–0067) are unaffected by this notice. Consequently, this notice, Form CMS–37, and Form CMS–64 are not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). IV. Regulatory Impact Analysis We have examined the impact of this notice as required by Executive Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review (September 1993), the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (September 19, 1980, Pub. L. 96–354), section 1102(b) of the Act, section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (March 22, 1995; Pub. L. 104– 4), Executive Order 13132 on Federalism (August 4, 1999) and the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 804(2)). Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). A regulatory impact analysis (RIA) must be prepared for PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11437 major rules with economically significant effects ($100 million or more in any 1 year). This notice reaches the $100 million economic threshold and thus is considered a major rule under the Congressional Review Act. The preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments being published in this notice are about $108 million more than the preliminary FY 2013 DSH allotments previously published in the July 26, 2013 Federal Register (78 FR 45217). The increase in the FY DSH allotments is due to the application of the statutory formula for calculating DSH allotments under which the prior fiscal year allotments are increased by the percentage increase in the CPI–U for the prior fiscal year. The preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH limits being published in this notice are about $9 million more than the preliminary FY 2013 IMD DSH limits previously published in the FR on July 26, 2013 (78 FR 45217). The increase in the IMD DSH limits is because the DSH allotment for a FY is a factor in the determination of the IMD DSH limit for the FY. Since the preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments were increased as compared to the preliminary FY 2013 DSH allotments previously published in the Federal Register, the associated FY 2014 IMD DSH limits for some states were also increased. The RFA requires agencies to analyze options for regulatory relief of small businesses, if a rule has a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. For purposes of the RFA, small entities include small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. Most hospitals and most other providers and suppliers are small entities, either by nonprofit status or by having revenues of less than $7.0 million to less than $35.5 million in any one year. Individuals and states are not included in the definition of a small entity. We are not preparing an analysis for the RFA because the Secretary has determined that this notice will not have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Specifically, any impact on providers is due to the effect of the various controlling statutes; providers are not impacted as a result of the independent regulatory action in publishing this notice. The purpose of the notice is to announce the latest state distributions as required by the statute. In addition, section 1102(b) of the 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 E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM 28FEN1 11438 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 40 / Friday, February 28, 2014 / Notices 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 Core-Based Statistical Area for Medicaid payment regulations and has fewer than 100 beds. We are not preparing 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. The Medicaid statute specifies the methodology for determining the amounts of states’ DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits; and as described previously, the application of the methodology specified in statute results in the changes in states’ DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits for the applicable FYs. The statute applicable to these allotments and limits does not apply to the determination of the amounts of DSH payments made to specific DSH hospitals; rather, these allotments and limits represent an overall limit on the total of such DSH payments a state can make. In this regard, we do not believe that this notice will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 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. Currently the threshhold is approximately $141 million. This notice will have no consequential effect on state, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or on the private sector. 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, the requirements of E.O. 13132 are not applicable. A. Alternatives Considered We calculated the state-specific FY 2014 DSH allotments and the associated state-specific IMD DSH limits in accordance with the methodologies specified in statute and regulation. This notice does not put forward any further discretionary administrative policies for determining such allotments. B. Accounting Statement As required by OMB Circular A–4 (available at https:// www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/ a004/a-4.pdf), in the Table 1, we have prepared an accounting statement showing the classification of the estimated expenditures associated with the provisions of this notice. Table 1 provides our best estimate of the change (decrease) in the federal share of states’ Medicaid DSH payments resulting from the application of the provisions of the Medicaid statute relating to the calculation of states’ FY DSH allotments and the increase in the FY DSH allotments from FY 2013 to FY 2014.

OMB No.: 0970–0151. Description: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing to collect data for the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES). Featuring a new ‘‘Core Plus’’ study design, FACES will provide data on a set of key indicators, including information for performance measures. This design also allows for more rapid and frequent data reporting (Core study) and serves as a vehicle for studying more complex issues and topics in greater detail and with increased efficiency (Plus studies). The FACES Core study will assess the school readiness skills of Head Start children, survey their parents, and ask their Head Start teachers to rate children’s social and emotional skills. In addition, FACES will include observations in Head Start classrooms, and program director, center director, and teacher surveys. FACES Plus studies include additional survey content of policy or programmatic interest, and may include additional programs or respondents beyond those participating in the Core FACES study. Previous notices provided the opportunity for public comment on the proposed Head Start program recruitment and center selection process (FR V.78, pg. 75569 12/12/2013; FR V.79, pg. 8461 02/12/2014). This notice describes the planned data collection activities for the FACES Core study and Plus studies. Direct child assessments, parent surveys, and teacher child reports for the Core study are included in this clearance package. Additionally, we describe instruments to support the Core study at the program and classroom levels and the Plus studies anticipated for future submission. Since these instruments will be informed by initial findings of FACES and emerging policy needs, they cannot be fully specified at this time. However, we describe the respondents and data collection methods, estimated respondent burden, and how the information will be used to the extent possible at this time. Subsequently, when fully developed in a manner consistent with the description provided in this 60-day notice and prior to use, we will submit these materials for a 30-day public comment period under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Methods for Core data collection start with site visits in fall 2014 to 60 Head Start programs to directly assess the school readiness skills of 2,400 children sampled to participate in FACES. Parents of sampled children will complete surveys on the Web or by telephone about their children and family background. Head Start teachers will rate each sampled child (approximately 10 children per classroom) using the Web or paper-andpencil forms. These activities will occur a second time in spring 2015. Additionally, the program sample size will increase to 180 programs in the spring to collect program- and classroom-level data. The methods of data collection for this phase will feature site visitors conducting observations of the types and quality of classroom activities. Head Start program Total number of respondents Instrument Annual number of respondents directors, center directors, and teachers will complete surveys about themselves and the services and instruction at Head Start. The program- and classroom-level data collection will occur a second time in spring 2017. Plus study data collection will parallel the Core design in many ways, including recruitment and data collection procedures, to add new respondents, include new populations, or expand on the information gathered in the Core study. Additional early care and education administrators or providers (such as Education Coordinators or Family Service Staff) may be sampled. Plus studies may involve data collection in additional programs, such as programs serving different populations or programs implementing specific interventions. Data collection for these Plus studies may include child assessments, parent surveys, teacher child reports, and staff surveys. Plus studies may also feature topical modules to gather information in greater depth on particular topics (for example, parent engagement or program functioning). The methods of data collection will involve new methodologies such as qualitative interviews and supplemental surveys with expanded content. The purpose of the Core data collection is to support the 2007 reauthorization of the Head Start program (P.L. 110–134), which calls for periodic assessments of Head Start’s quality and effectiveness. Plus data collection will further support understanding Head Start functioning for a broader set of programs or in more depth for particular topics.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

A. Fiscal Year DSH Allotments

    A state's federal fiscal year (FY) disproportionate share hospital 
(DSH) allotment represents the aggregate limit on the federal share 
amount of the state's payments to DSH hospitals in the state for the 
FY. The amount of such allotment is determined in accordance with the 
provisions of section 1923(f)(3) of the Social Security Act (the Act). 
Under such provisions, in general a state's FY DSH allotment is 
calculated by increasing the amount of its DSH allotment for the 
preceding FY by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for 
all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the previous FY.
    The Affordable Care Act amended Medicaid DSH provisions, adding 
section 1923(f)(7) of the Act which would have required reductions to 
states' FY DSH allotments beginning with FY 2014, the calculation of 
which was described in the Disproportionate Share Hospital Payment 
Reduction final rule published in the September 18, 2013 Federal 
Register (78 FR 57293). Under the DSH reduction methodology, first, 
each state's unreduced FY DSH allotment would have been calculated in 
accordance with the provisions of section 1923(f) of the Act, excluding 
section 1923(f)(7) of the Act; then, the reduction amount for each 
state would have been determined under the provisions of section 
1923(f)(7) of the Act and implementing regulations at 42 CFR 447.294; 
and, finally, the net FY DSH allotment for each state would have been 
determined by subtracting the DSH reduction amount for the state from 
its unreduced FY 2014 DSH allotment.
    The reductions under section 1923(f)(7) of the Act were delayed and 
modified by section 1204 of Division B (Medicare and Other Health 
Provisions) of the ``Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013'' (Pub. L. 113-
67), which was enacted on December 26, 2013. The reductions of states' 
fiscal year DSH allotments under section 1923(f)(7) of the Act that 
were applicable to FY 2014 and 2015 were repealed, and the FY 2016 was 
increased substantially.
    Because there is no reduction to DSH allotments for FY 2014 under 
section 1923(f)(7) of the Act, this notice contains only the state-
specific FY 2014 DSH allotments, as calculated under the statute 
without application of the reductions that would have been imposed 
under the Affordable Care Act provisions beginning with FY 2014. This 
notice also provides information on the calculation of such FY DSH 
allotments, the calculation of the states' IMD DSH limits, and the 
amounts of states' preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH limits.

B. Determination of Fiscal Year DSH Allotments

    Generally, in accordance with the methodology specified under 
section 1923(f)(3) of the Act, a state's FY DSH allotment is calculated 
by increasing the amount of its DSH allotment for the preceding FY by 
the percentage change in the CPI-U for the previous FY. Also in 
accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of the Act, a state's DSH allotment 
for a FY is subject to the limitation that an increase to a state's DSH 
allotment for a FY cannot result in the DSH allotment exceeding the 
greater of the state's DSH allotment for the previous FY or 12 percent 
of the state's total medical assistance expenditures for the allotment 
year (this is referred to as the 12 percent limit).
    Furthermore, under section 1923(h) of the Act, federal financial 
participation (FFP) for DSH payments to institutions for mental 
diseases (IMDs) and other mental health facilities is limited to state-
specific aggregate amounts. Under this provision, the aggregate limit 
for DSH payments to IMDs and other mental health facilities is the 
lesser of a state's FY 1995 total computable (state and federal share) 
IMD and other mental health facility DSH expenditures applicable to the 
state's FY 1995 DSH allotment (as reported on the Form CMS-64 as of 
January 1, 1997), or the amount equal to the product of the state's 
current year total computable DSH allotment and the applicable 
percentage specified in section 1902(h) of the Act (the applicable 
percentage is the IMD share of DSH total computable expenditures as of 
FY 1995).
    In general, we determine states' DSH allotments for a FY and the 
IMD DSH limits for the same FY using the most

[[Page 11437]]

recent available estimates of or actual medical assistance 
expenditures, including DSH expenditures in their Medicaid programs and 
the most recent available change in the CPI-U used for the FY in 
accordance with the methodology prescribed in the statute. The 
indicated estimated or actual expenditures are obtained from states for 
each relevant FY from the most recent available quarterly Medicaid 
budget reports (Form CMS-37) or quarterly Medicaid expenditure reports 
(Form CMS-64), respectively, submitted by the states. For example, as 
part of the initial determination of a state's FY DSH allotment 
(referred to as the preliminary DSH allotments) that is determined 
before the beginning of the FY for which the DSH allotments and IMD DSH 
limits are being determined, we use estimated expenditures for the FY 
obtained from the August submission of the CMS-37 submitted by states 
prior to the beginning of the FY; such estimated expenditures are 
subject to update and revision during the FY before such actual 
expenditure data become available. We also use the most recent 
available estimated CPI-U percentage change that is available before 
the beginning of the FY for determining the states' preliminary FY DSH 
allotments; such estimated CPI-U percentage change is subject to update 
and revision during the FY before the actual CPI-U percentage change 
becomes available. In determining the final DSH allotments and IMD DSH 
limits for a FY we use the actual expenditures for the FY and actual 
CPI-U percentage change for the previous FY.

II. Provisions of the Notice

A. Calculation of the Preliminary FY 2014 Federal Share State DSH 
Allotments and the Preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH Limits

1. Calculation of the Preliminary FY 2014 Federal Share State DSH 
Allotments
    Addendum 1 to this notice provides the preliminary FY 2014 DSH 
allotments determined in accordance with section 1923(f)(3) of the Act. 
The preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments contained in this notice were 
determined based on the most recent available estimates from states of 
their FY 2014 total computable Medicaid expenditures. Also, the 
preliminary FY 2014 allotments contained in this notice were determined 
by increasing the preliminary FY 2013 DSH allotments as contained in 
the notice published in the Federal Register on July 26, 2013 (78 FR 
45217) by 1.5 percent, representing the most recent available estimate 
of the percentage increase in the CPI-U for FY 2013 (the previous FY to 
FY 2014).
    We will publish states's final FY 2014 DSH allotments in future 
notices based on the states' four quarterly Medicaid expenditure 
reports (Form CMS-64) for FY 2014 available following the end of FY 
2014 and the actual change in the CPI-U for FY 2013.

B. Calculation of the Preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH Limits

    Section 1923(h) of the Act specifies the methodology to be used to 
establish the limits on the amount of DSH payments that a state can 
make to IMDs and other mental health facilities. FFP is not available 
for IMD or DSH payments that exceed the IMD limits. In this notice, we 
are publishing the preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH Limits determined in 
accordance with the provisions discussed above.
    Addendum 2 to this notice details each state's preliminary FY 2014 
IMD DSH Limit, determined in accordance with section 1923(h) of the 
Act.

III. Collection of Information Requirements

    This notice does not impose any new or revised information 
collection, recordkeeping, or third-party disclosure requirements. The 
currently approved requirements and burden estimates associated with 
Form CMS-37 (OCN 0938-0101) and Form CMS-64 (OCN 0938-0067) are 
unaffected by this notice. Consequently, this notice, Form CMS-37, and 
Form CMS-64 are not subject to Office of Management and Budget review 
under the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.).

IV. Regulatory Impact Analysis

    We have examined the impact of this notice as required by Executive 
Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review (September 1993), the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (September 19, 1980, Pub. L. 96-354), 
section 1102(b) of the Act, section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act of 1995 (March 22, 1995; Pub. L. 104-4), Executive Order 13132 on 
Federalism (August 4, 1999) and the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 
804(2)).
    Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and 
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is 
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits 
(including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety 
effects, distributive impacts, and equity). A regulatory impact 
analysis (RIA) must be prepared for major rules with economically 
significant effects ($100 million or more in any 1 year). This notice 
reaches the $100 million economic threshold and thus is considered a 
major rule under the Congressional Review Act.
    The preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments being published in this 
notice are about $108 million more than the preliminary FY 2013 DSH 
allotments previously published in the July 26, 2013 Federal Register 
(78 FR 45217). The increase in the FY DSH allotments is due to the 
application of the statutory formula for calculating DSH allotments 
under which the prior fiscal year allotments are increased by the 
percentage increase in the CPI-U for the prior fiscal year.
    The preliminary FY 2014 IMD DSH limits being published in this 
notice are about $9 million more than the preliminary FY 2013 IMD DSH 
limits previously published in the FR on July 26, 2013 (78 FR 45217). 
The increase in the IMD DSH limits is because the DSH allotment for a 
FY is a factor in the determination of the IMD DSH limit for the FY. 
Since the preliminary FY 2014 DSH allotments were increased as compared 
to the preliminary FY 2013 DSH allotments previously published in the 
Federal Register, the associated FY 2014 IMD DSH limits for some states 
were also increased.
    The RFA requires agencies to analyze options for regulatory relief 
of small businesses, if a rule has a significant impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. For purposes of the RFA, small 
entities include small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and small 
governmental jurisdictions. Most hospitals and most other providers and 
suppliers are small entities, either by nonprofit status or by having 
revenues of less than $7.0 million to less than $35.5 million in any 
one year. Individuals and states are not included in the definition of 
a small entity. We are not preparing an analysis for the RFA because 
the Secretary has determined that this notice will not have significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Specifically, any impact on providers is due to the effect of the 
various controlling statutes; providers are not impacted as a result of 
the independent regulatory action in publishing this notice. The 
purpose of the notice is to announce the latest state distributions as 
required by the statute.
    In addition, section 1102(b) of the 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

[[Page 11438]]

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 Core-Based Statistical Area for Medicaid 
payment regulations and has fewer than 100 beds. We are not preparing 
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.
    The Medicaid statute specifies the methodology for determining the 
amounts of states' DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits; and as described 
previously, the application of the methodology specified in statute 
results in the changes in states' DSH allotments and IMD DSH limits for 
the applicable FYs. The statute applicable to these allotments and 
limits does not apply to the determination of the amounts of DSH 
payments made to specific DSH hospitals; rather, these allotments and 
limits represent an overall limit on the total of such DSH payments a 
state can make. In this regard, we do not believe that this notice will 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    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. Currently the 
threshhold is approximately $141 million. This notice will have no 
consequential effect on state, local, or tribal governments, in the 
aggregate, or on the private sector.
    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, the requirements of E.O. 13132 are not applicable.

A. Alternatives Considered

    We calculated the state-specific FY 2014 DSH allotments and the 
associated state-specific IMD DSH limits in accordance with the 
methodologies specified in statute and regulation. This notice does not 
put forward any further discretionary administrative policies for 
determining such allotments.

B. Accounting Statement

    As required by OMB Circular A-4 (available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a004/a-4.pdf), in the Table 1, we have 
prepared an accounting statement showing the classification of the 
estimated expenditures associated with the provisions of this notice. 
Table 1 provides our best estimate of the change (decrease) in the 
federal share of states' Medicaid DSH payments resulting from the 
application of the provisions of the Medicaid statute relating to the 
calculation of states' FY DSH allotments and the increase in the FY DSH 
allotments from FY 2013 to FY 2014.

C. Congressional Review Act

    This proposed regulation is subject to the Congressional Review Act 
provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) and has been transmitted to the Congress 
and the Comptroller General for review.
    In accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12866, this 
notice was reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
