Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 129 / Tuesday, July 7, 2015 / Rules and Regulations ‘‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2016,’’ there was a technical error in the regulation text that is identified and corrected in this correcting amendment. srobinson on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES II. Summary of Errors in the Regulation Text On page 10867 of the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2016 final rule, there was a technical error in § 155.420(d)(2)(ii). In the preamble, we acknowledged that Exchanges may need more time to implement the necessary functional IT changes, and stated that we were making § 155.420(d)(2)(ii) effective January 1, 2017. However, in the regulatory text, we inadvertently omitted the phrase ‘‘Effective January 1, 2017 or earlier . . .’’ before the phrase ‘‘at the option of the Exchange’’. III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking and Delay in Effective Date 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, this notice and comment procedure can be waived 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. This document corrects a technical error in the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2016 final rule and is not a substantive change to the standards set forth in the final rule. Therefore, we believe that undertaking further notice and comment procedures to incorporate this correction and delay the effective date for this change is unnecessary. In addition, we believe it is important for the public to have the correct information as soon as possible, and believe it is contrary to the public interest to delay when they become effective. For the reasons stated previously, we find there is good cause to waive notice and comment VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:51 Jul 06, 2015 Jkt 235001 procedures and the 30-day delay in the effective date for this correction notice.

The Verizon Petitioners state that this additional labeling requirement is necessary to inform purchasers of fixed Consumer Signal Boosters that they may not lawfully be installed and operated in a moving vehicle or outdoor location. We recognize that our labeling requirement imposes additional costs on entities that manufacture Consumer Signal Boosters; however, on balance, we find that such costs are outweighed by the benefits of ensuring that consumers purchase appropriate devices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: FRA’s Post-Accident Toxicological Testing Program Since 1985, as part of its accident investigation program, FRA has routinely conducted alcohol and drug tests on railroad employees involved in serious train accidents that meet certain criteria specified in FRA’s regulations. See 49 CFR 219.201.1 This post-accident testing is used to determine if alcohol misuse or drug abuse played a role in the occurrence or severity of an accident. Since the program’s inception, FRA has routinely conducted postaccident tests for alcohol and certain drugs the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classifies as controlled substances. Controlled substances are drugs or chemicals that are prohibited or strictly regulated because of their potential for abuse or addiction. See 77 FR 29307, 29307, May 17, 2002. The DEA oversees the classification of controlled substances into five schedules. Section I contains illicit drugs such as marijuana and heroin, which have no legitimate medical use under Federal law. Schedules II–V contain legal drugs that are available only by prescription. See generally The Controlled Substances Act (CSA), Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention Substances Act of 1970 (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.). FRA has historically conducted postaccident tests for the following controlled substances: Marijuana, cocaine, phencyclidine (PCP), and selected opioids, amphetamines, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines. Under 49 CFR 219.211(b), FRA reports post-accident test results for these substances to the employee tested and the employing railroad’s Medical Review Officer (MRO). See 49 CFR 219.211(b). 1 All references to sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in this document refer to sections within title 49 of the CFR. E:\FR\FM\07JYR1.SGM 07JYR1
