2011 (76 FR 29249), there was a 

technical error that has been identified 

and corrected in the section III. of this

II. Summary of Errors 

On page 29250 of the notice in the 

DATES section, we inadvertently 

requested that the Office of the Federal 

Register base the application submission 

deadline on the 60th day after 

publication of the notice (that is, July 

19, 2011) instead of postmarked on or 

before July 18, 2011 which was noted in 

the information posted on our Center for 

Medicare and Medicaid Innovation 

(CMMI) Web site and in the Pioneer 

ACO Application. (For more 

information see http:// 

innovations.cms.gov/areas-of-focus/ 

seamless-and-coordinated-care-models/ 

pioneer-aco/.) Therefore, in section III. 

of this correction notice, we correct this 

error by inserting the date of the 

application submission deadline that 

coincides with the application 

submission deadline announced in the 

Request for Application posted on the 

CMMI Web site, which is postmarked 

on or before July 18, 2011.
