Background The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible for administering the Medicare and Medicaid programs and coordination and oversight of private health insurance. Administration and oversight of these programs involves the following: (1) Furnishing information to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, health care providers, and the public; and (2) maintaining effective communications with CMS regional offices, state governments, state Medicaid agencies, state survey agencies, various providers of health care, all Medicare contractors that process claims and pay bills, National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), health insurers, and other stakeholders. To implement the various statutes on which the programs are based, we issue regulations under the authority granted to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services under sections 1102, 1871, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:44 May 06, 2016 Jkt 238001 1902, and related provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act) and Public Health Service Act. We also issue various manuals, memoranda, and statements necessary to administer and oversee the programs efficiently. Section 1871(c) of the Act requires that we publish a list of all Medicare manual instructions, interpretive rules, statements of policy, and guidelines of general applicability not issued as regulations at least every 3 months in the Federal Register. II. Format for the Quarterly Issuance Notices This quarterly notice provides only the specific updates that have occurred in the 3-month period along with a hyperlink to the full listing that is available on the CMS Web site or the appropriate data registries that are used as our resources. This is the most current up-to-date information and will be available earlier than we publish our quarterly notice.

We also believe the Web site offers a more convenient tool for the public to find the full list of qualified providers for these specific services and offers more flexibility and ‘‘real time’’ accessibility. In addition, many of the Web sites have listservs; that is, the public can subscribe and receive immediate notification of any updates to the Web site. These listservs avoid the need to check the Web site, as notification of updates is automatic and sent to the subscriber as they occur. If assessing a Web site proves to be difficult, the contact person listed can provide information. III. How To Use the Notice This notice is organized into 15 addenda so that a reader may access the subjects published during the quarter covered by the notice to determine whether any are of particular interest.

Commission: Anne L. Schwartz, Executive Director, (202) 350-2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Children's Health Insurance Program 
Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA) established MACPAC to report to 
Congress on Medicaid and CHIP access and payment policies and make 
recommendations to Congress, the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services, and the states concerning access to Medicaid and CHIP covered 
services. CHIPRA gave the Comptroller General of the United States 
responsibility for appointing MACPAC's 17 members. Appointments are for 
3 years, except for members appointed to fill vacancies and for initial 
members, for which staggered terms were required.
    Pursuant to that authority, all initial appointments were effective 
January 1, 2010, but were staggered so that 5 ended in December 2010, 6 
ended in December 2011, and 6 ended in December 2012. The Comptroller 
General has continued to make appointments effective in January of each 
year since the initial appointments.
    In consultation with the Commission, the Comptroller General has 
concluded that members' terms should be changed to more closely match 
the Commission's business cycle. The current January 1 to December 31 
terms are out of step with that cycle; the Commission carries out 
significant planning activities in the summer and finalizes its two 
reports in late January and April of each year. Terms that begin May 1 
and end April 30 would coincide more closely with the Commission's work 
schedule and

the terms of all current members are hereby extended for 4 months. The 
following members' terms will expire on April 30, 2017: Sharon Carte, 
Andrea Cohen, Herman Gray, Norma Martinez Rogers, and Sara Rosenbaum.

Lampkin, Penny Thompson, and Alan Weil.
    Subsequent appointments will be for 3 years.

Gene L. Dodaro,
Comptroller General of the United States.
