Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 149 / Thursday, August 4, 2022 / Notices to extend the Demonstration beyond its expiration on December 31, 2023. While much information has been learned about ABA while administering services under the Demonstration authority, the Department needs time to further evaluate the goals of the Demonstration, collect and evaluate outcome measures, incorporate the results of the CDMRP study award, and address recommendations from the National Academies. In addition, by extending the Demonstration, the Department will not only be able to fully implement the program improvements, but also will continue to gain greater insight and understanding of the effectiveness of ABA services being delivered to TRICARE beneficiaries based on outcome data. As the Department is pending a benefit determination, this extension will determine whether the Demonstration meets its stated purpose and will provide the Department with consistent and reliable information necessary to make a formal decision regarding the provision of the ABA services benefit. The Demonstration continues to be authorized by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1092. Dated: July 29, 2022. Aaron T. Siegel, Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
