SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 9/13/2013 (78 FR 56680) and 

9/20/2013 (78 FR 57844), the Committee 

for Purchase From People Who Are 

Blind or Severely Disabled published 

notices of proposed additions to the 

Procurement List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the services and impact of the additions 

on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the services listed 

below are suitable for procurement by 

the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 

8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this 

certification were: 

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will provide the 

services to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to provide the 

services to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in 

connection with the services proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

TRICARE; Civilian Health and Medical 

Program of the Uniformed Services 

(CHAMPUS); Fiscal Year 2014 

Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) 

Updates 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of DRG revised rates. 

SUMMARY: This notice describes the 

changes made to the TRICARE DRGbased payment system in order to 

conform to changes made to the 

Medicare Prospective Payment System 

(PPS). It also provides the updated fixed 

loss cost outlier threshold, cost-tocharge ratios, and the data necessary to 

update the FY 2014 rates. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The rates, 

weights, and Medicare PPS changes 

which affect the TRICARE DRG-based 

payment system contained in this notice 

are effective for admissions occurring on 

or after October 1, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management 

Activity (TMA), Medical Benefits and 

Reimbursement Branch, 16401 East 

Centretech Parkway, Aurora, CO 80011– 

9066. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amber L. Butterfield, Medical Benefits 

and Reimbursement Office, TMA, 

telephone (303) 676–3565. 

Questions regarding payment of 

specific claims under the TRICARE 

DRG-based payment system should be 

addressed to the appropriate contractor. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final 

rule published on September 1, 1987 (52 

FR 32992) set forth the basic procedures 

used under the CHAMPUS DRG-based 

payment system. This was subsequently 

amended by final rules published 

August 31, 1988 (53 FR 33461); October 

21, 1988 (53 FR 41331); December 16, 

1988 (53 FR 50515); May 30, 1990 (55 

FR 21863); October 22, 1990 (55 FR 

42560); and September 10, 1998 (63 FR 

48439). 

An explicit tenet of these final rules, 

and one based on the statute authorizing 

the use of DRGs by TRICARE, is that the 

TRICARE DRG-based payment system is 

modeled on the Medicare PPS, and that, 

whenever practicable, the TRICARE 

system will follow the same rules that
