Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 236 / Monday, December 10, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.1D,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety
zone of limited size and duration. It is
categorically excluded from further
review under Categorical Exclusion
L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act; Adoption of the Methodology for
the HHS-Operated Permanent Risk
Adjustment Program for the 2018
Benefit Year Final Rule
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule adopts the
HHS-operated risk adjustment
methodology for the 2018 benefit year.
In February 2018, a district court
vacated the use of statewide average
premium in the HHS-operated risk
adjustment methodology for the 2014
through 2018 benefit years. Following
review of all submitted comments to the
proposed rule, HHS is adopting for the
2018 benefit year an HHS-operated risk
adjustment methodology that utilizes
the statewide average premium and is
operated in a budget-neutral manner, as
established in the final rules published
in the March 23, 2012 and the December
22, 2016 editions of the Federal
Register.
SUMMARY:
The provisions of this final rule
are effective on February 8, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Background
A. Legislative and Regulatory Overview
The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148) was enacted
on March 23, 2010; the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(Pub. L. 111–152) was enacted on March

Jkt 247001
30, 2010. These statutes are collectively
referred to as ‘‘PPACA’’ in this final
rule. Section 1343 of the PPACA
established an annual permanent risk
adjustment program under which
payments are collected from health
insurance issuers that enroll relatively
low-risk populations, and payments are
made to health insurance issuers that
enroll relatively higher-risk populations.
Consistent with section 1321(c)(1) of the
PPACA, the Secretary is responsible for
operating the risk adjustment program
on behalf of any state that elects not to
do so. For the 2018 benefit year, HHS
is responsible for operation of the risk
adjustment program in all 50 states and
the District of Columbia.
HHS sets the risk adjustment
methodology that it uses in states that
elect not to operate risk adjustment in
advance of each benefit year through a
notice-and-comment rulemaking
process with the intention that issuers
will be able to rely on the methodology
to price their plans appropriately (see 45
CFR 153.320; 76 FR 41930, 41932
through 41933; 81 FR 94058, 94702
(explaining the importance of setting
rules ahead of time and describing
comments supporting that practice)).
In the July 15, 2011 Federal Register
(76 FR 41929), we published a proposed
rule outlining the framework for the risk
adjustment program. We implemented
the risk adjustment program in a final
rule, published in the March 23, 2012
Federal Register (77 FR 17219)
(Premium Stabilization Rule). In the
December 7, 2012 Federal Register (77
FR 73117), we published a proposed
rule outlining the proposed Federally
certified risk adjustment methodologies
for the 2014 benefit year and other
parameters related to the risk
adjustment program (proposed 2014
Payment Notice). We published the
2014 Payment Notice final rule in the
March 11, 2013 Federal Register (78 FR
15409). In the June 19, 2013 Federal
Register (78 FR 37032), we proposed a
modification to the HHS-operated risk
adjustment methodology related to
community rating states. In the October
30, 2013 Federal Register (78 FR
65046), we finalized this proposed
modification related to community
rating states. We published a correcting
amendment to the 2014 Payment Notice
final rule in the November 6, 2013
Federal Register (78 FR 66653) to
address how an enrollee’s age for the
risk score calculation would be
determined under the HHS-operated
risk adjustment methodology.
In the December 2, 2013 Federal
Register (78 FR 72321), we published a
proposed rule outlining the Federally
certified risk adjustment methodologies

for the 2015 benefit year and other
parameters related to the risk
adjustment program (proposed 2015
Payment Notice). We published the
2015 Payment Notice final rule in the
March 11, 2014 Federal Register (79 FR
13743). In the May 27, 2014 Federal
Register (79 FR 30240), the 2015 fiscal
year sequestration rate for the risk
adjustment program was announced.
In the November 26, 2014 Federal
Register (79 FR 70673), we published a
proposed rule outlining the proposed
Federally certified risk adjustment
methodologies for the 2016 benefit year
and other parameters related to the risk
adjustment program (proposed 2016
Payment Notice). We published the
2016 Payment Notice final rule in the
February 27, 2015 Federal Register (80
FR 10749).
In the December 2, 2015 Federal
Register (80 FR 75487), we published a
proposed rule outlining the Federally
certified risk adjustment methodology
for the 2017 benefit year and other
parameters related to the risk
adjustment program (proposed 2017
Payment Notice). We published the
2017 Payment Notice final rule in the
March 8, 2016 Federal Register (81 FR
12204).
In the September 6, 2016 Federal
Register (81 FR 61455), we published a
proposed rule outlining the Federally
certified risk adjustment methodology
for the 2018 benefit year and other
parameters related to the risk
adjustment program (proposed 2018
Payment Notice). We published the
2018 Payment Notice final rule in the
December 22, 2016 Federal Register (81
FR 94058).
In the November 2, 2017 Federal
Register (82 FR 51042), we published a
proposed rule outlining the federally
certified risk adjustment methodology
for the 2019 benefit year. In that
proposed rule, we proposed updates to
the risk adjustment methodology and
amendments to the risk adjustment data
validation process (proposed 2019
Payment Notice). We published the
2019 Payment Notice final rule in the
April 17, 2018 Federal Register (83 FR
16930). We published a correction to the
2019 risk adjustment coefficients in the
2019 Payment Notice final rule in the
May 11, 2018 Federal Register (83 FR
21925). On July 27, 2018, consistent
with § 153.320(b)(1)(i), we updated the
2019 benefit year final risk adjustment
model coefficients to reflect an
additional recalibration related to an
