AGENCY: Centers for Medicare &

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This document makes a 

technical correction to the proposed 

rule published in the January 22, 2013 

Federal Register entitled ‘‘Medicaid, 

Children’s Health Insurance Programs, 

and Exchanges: Essential Health 

Benefits in Alternative Benefit Plans, 

Eligibility Notices, Fair Hearing and 

Appeal Processes for Medicaid and 

Exchange Eligibility Appeals and Other 

Provisions Related to Eligibility and 

Enrollment for Exchanges, Medicaid 

and CHIP, and Medicaid Premiums and 

Cost Sharing.’’ The proposed rule 

provided for the close of the comment 

period to be February 13, 2013, whereas 

the close of the comment period was 

intended to be February 21, 2013. This 

document makes this technical 

correction. 

DATES: The comment close date for the 

proposed rule under the same heading 

published in the January 22, 2013 

Federal Register is correctly extended to 

February 21, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Annette Brewer, (410) 786–6580. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In FR Doc. 2013–00659 of January 22, 

2013 (78 FR 4594), there was a technical 

error that is identified and corrected in 

the Correction of Errors section below. 

The provision in this correction 

document is effective as if it had been 

included in the document published on 

January 22, 2013. 

II. Summary of Errors 

In the DATES section of the proposed 

rule, we established a closing date of the 

30-day comment period as February 13, 

2013. In this notice we are making a 

technical correction to the comment 

period, which now closes on February 

21, 2013. 

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking 

We ordinarily publish a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register to provide a period for public 

comment before the provisions of a rule 

take effect in accordance with section 

553(b) of the Administrative Procedure 

Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). However, 

we can waive this notice and comment 

procedure if the Secretary finds, for 

good cause, that the notice and 

comment process is impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest, and incorporates a statement of 

the finding and the reasons therefore in 

the notice. This correction notice has 

the effect of extending the period for 

public comment that was initially 

established in the proposed rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 22, 2013 (78 FR 4594). This 

correction notice makes no changes to 

any of the substantive matters discussed 

in the proposed rule. Rather, this 

correction notice makes a technical 

correction to the date on which the 

period for public comment on the 

previously published proposed rule 

ends. This technical correction will not 

disadvantage any member of the public, 

and it is in the public interest to permit 

the full intended time period for 

comment. Therefore, we find it 

unnecessary to issue a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this correction 

notice. 

IV. Correction of Errors 

In FR Doc. 2013–00659 of January 22, 

2013 (78 FR 4594), make the following 

corrections: 

In the DATES section, the date 

‘‘February 13, 2013’’ is corrected to read 

‘‘February 21, 2013’’.
