TRICARE; Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS); Adoption of Medicare's Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Adjustments for Reimbursement Under TRICARE's Home Health Prospective Payment System Demonstration
This notice describes the adoption of Medicare's Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) adjustments for reimbursement under TRICARE's Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS). In recognition that the Defense Health Agency (DHA) strongly supports the implementation of value-based incentive programs, in accordance with Section 705(a) of National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017, the adoption of this model establishes a new value-based initiative within the TRICARE program, based on Medicare's similar pilot. In the Medicare HHVBP model, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) determines a payment adjustment up to the maximum percentage, upward or downward, based on the Home Health Agency's (HHA) Total Performance Score (TPS). As a result, the model incentivizes quality improvements and encourages efficiency. States selected for participation in the Medicare HHVBP model include Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington. CMS cannot release HHVBP adjustment factors to TRICARE, so Home Health Agencies (HHAs) in the participating states will be required to send their annual payment adjustment reports to the applicable TRICARE contractors prior to January 1 each year. Failure to submit the required payment adjustment documentation would result in full application of the negative adjustment factor for the calendar year. This requirement allows TRICARE to mirror Medicare's HHVBP payment adjustments. The TRICARE HHVBP model will only apply to Medicare- certified HHAs in the nine participating states. Specialized HHAs that qualify for corporate services provider status but are not Medicare- certified will continue to be reimbursed under the CHAMPUS Maximum Allowable Charge (CMAC) system and will not be subject to the TRICARE HHVBP model.

Transitional Compensation (TC) for Abused Dependents
Transitional compensation is one of the many resources available to victims of domestic abuse.

Transition Assistance Program (TAP) for Military Personnel
This final rule removes the regulation concerning the DoD Transition Assistance Program (TAP). TAP provides information and training to ensure Service members and eligible spouses transitioning from active-duty are prepared for their next step in life, whether it is to pursue additional education, find a job in the public or private sector, or start their own business. This part summarizes the benefits in statute and internal policy. Therefore, this part is duplicative and unnecessary and should be removed from the CFR.
Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes; Implementation of the REAL ID Act Modification for Freely Associated States Act; Correction
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is correcting a final rule that published in the Federal Register on September 4, 2019. On September 4, 2019, DHS published two documents in the Federal Register related to the implementation of the REAL ID Modification for Freely Associated States Act: A final rule implementing the REAL ID Modification for Freely Associated States Act, and a notice designating an unexpired foreign passport and valid Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) as acceptable identity documentation for purposes of obtaining a REAL ID driver's license or identification card for eligible citizens of the Freely Associated States. The text of footnote 9, which was included in the final rule, was overtaken by the notice published on the same date. Through this correction, the text of footnote 9 is being revised.

Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Privacy Program
This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Privacy Program. On April 11, 2019, the Department of Defense published a revised DoD-level Privacy Program rule, which contains the necessary information for an agency-wide privacy program regulation under the Privacy Act and now serves as the single Privacy Program rule for the Department. That revised Privacy Program rule also includes all DoD component exemption rules. Therefore, the part is now unnecessary and may be removed from the CFR.
National Industrial Security Program
This final rule removes the DoD's regulations on the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) regarding industrial security procedures and practices related to foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) for U.S. Government activities. The interim final rule currently in effect is duplicative and obsolete. The Director of the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) is responsible for implementing and monitoring Executive Branch implementation of the NISP, and DoD's rule duplicates an amendment to the NARA rule on the same subject.
Withdrawal of Certain Proposed Rules
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is announcing that it has withdrawn certain proposed rules that were either published in the Federal Register more than 3 years ago without subsequent action or determined to no longer be candidates for final action. USDA is taking this action to reduce its regulatory backlog and focus its resources on higher priority actions. The Department's actions are part of an overall regulatory reform strategy to reduce regulatory burden on the public and to ensure that future Unified Agendas of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions provide the public accurate information about rulemakings the Department intends to undertake.
Completion of Interim Rules
The United States Department of Agriculture is announcing the completion of certain interim rules that published in the Federal Register more than 3 years ago. USDA is taking this action because the published interim rules have been fully implemented and no further rulemaking publication is required.

Defense Threat Reduction Agency Privacy Program
This final rule removes the Department of Defense (DoD) regulation concerning the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Privacy Program. On April 11, 2019, DoD published a revised DoD-level Privacy Program rule, which contains the necessary information for an agency-wide privacy program regulation under the Privacy Act and now serves as the single Privacy Program rule for the Department. That revised Privacy Program rule also includes all DoD component exemption rules. Therefore, this part is now unnecessary and may be removed from the CFR.
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records; DOT/FMCSA-011; Military Under 21 Pilot Program System of Records
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Transportation proposes to issue a new Department of Transportation system of records titled, ``Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration-011Military Under 21 Pilot Program System of Records.'' FMCSA is required by Section 5404 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, 2015 (FAST Act), to conduct a pilot program to allow 18- to 20-year-old persons with military driving experience to operate CMVs in interstate commerce. The pilot program seeks to determine the safety benefits or risks posed by military service members aged 18, 19, and 20 with specialized training in heavy vehicle operations operating a freight-carrying CMV in interstate commerce as compared to current entry-level commercial motor vehicle drivers aged 21-24 when operating a freight-carrying CMV in interstate commerce. The goal of this pilot program is to determine whether the group of under-21 military CDL holders operating in interstate commerce have similar or better safety performance outcomes than the 21-24 year old entry level drivers operating in interstate commerce. The information collected as part of the pilot program is necessary to: (1) Determine the eligibility of drivers to participate in the pilot program; (2) effectively implement and monitor the pilot program, given that participating under-21 military drivers will be participating with an exemption; (3) contact drivers if necessary throughout the pilot program (e.g., for follow-on questions or clarification on data), and (4) to conduct analysis on the safety performance of the participating drivers and make safety decisions accordingly. Specific details concerning eligibility for pilot program participation were previously published at 81 FR 56745 (September 21, 2016); 83 FR 31631 (July 6, 2018); and 83 FR 60950 (November 27, 2018). Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 31315(c)(3) and 49 CFR 381.515, the FMCSA Administrator has the authority to immediately revoke the participation of a motor carrier, CMV, or driver in the Under 21 Military Pilot Program for failure to comply with the program's terms and conditions. Participation in the Under 21 Military Pilot Program does not provide for any right, entitlement, or benefit.
Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes; Implementation of the REAL ID Act Modification for Freely Associated States Act
This final rule implements the REAL ID Act Modification for Freely Associated States Act by amending the regulatory definition of ``temporary lawful status.'' With this change, citizens of the Freely Associated States residing in the United States are eligible for full- term REAL ID licenses and identification cards, provided they satisfy the other requirements of the REAL ID Act and regulations.
