Organ-Specific Warnings; Internal Analgesic, Antipyretic, and Antirheumatic Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use; Final Monograph; Corrections
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of April 29, 2009. The document requires important new organ-specific warnings and related labeling for over-the-counter (OTC) internal analgesic, antipyretic, and antirheumatic drug products. The new labeling informs consumers about the risk of liver injury when using acetaminophen and the risk of stomach bleeding when using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The document was published with an incorrect Analysis of Impacts section and omitted a reference from the reference section of the final rule. The document was also published with an error in the codified text regarding the introductory sentence to the stomach bleeding warning for NSAIDs. This document replaces the incorrect Analysis of Impacts section with the correct Analysis of Impacts section, adds a reference to the reference section of the final rule, and corrects the codified text.

Medicaid Program; Health Care-Related Taxes
This rule finalizes our proposal to delay enforcement of certain clarifications regarding standards for determining hold harmless arrangements in the final rule entitled, ``Medicaid Program; Health Care-Related Taxes'' from the expiration of a Congressional moratorium on enforcement from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010.
Medicaid Program: Rescission of School-Based Administration/Transportation Final Rule, Outpatient Hospital Services Final Rule, and Partial Rescission of Case Management Interim Final Rule
This rule finalizes our proposal to rescind the December 28, 2007 final rule entitled, ``Elimination of Reimbursement under Medicaid for School Administration Expenditures and Costs Related to Transportation of School-Age Children Between Home and School;'' the November 7, 2008 final rule entitled, ``Clarification of Outpatient Hospital Facility (Including Outpatient Hospital Clinic) Services Definition;'' and certain provisions of the December 4, 2007 interim final rule entitled, ``Optional State Plan Case Management Services.'' These regulations have been the subject of Congressional moratoria and have not yet been implemented (or, with respect to the case management interim final rule, have only been partially implemented) by CMS. In light of concerns raised about the adverse effects that could result from these regulations, in particular, the potential restrictions on services available to beneficiaries and the lack of clear evidence demonstrating that the approaches taken in the regulations are warranted, CMS is rescinding the two final rules in full, and partially rescinding the interim final rule. Rescinding these provisions will permit further opportunity to determine the best approach to further the objectives of the Medicaid program in providing necessary health benefits coverage to needy individuals.
