This emergency approval expires on

In a notice of proposed rulemaking

The temporary certification program, 

which is anticipated to sunset on 

December 31, 2011, requires: Applicants 

that wish to become ONC-Authorized 

Testing and Certification Bodies (ONC– 

ATCBs) to respond to and submit an 

application; collection and reporting

records of tests and certifications and 

disclose the final results of all 

completed tests and certifications (i.e.,

activities under the temporary 

certification program.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Federal Financial Participation in State 

Assistance Expenditures; Federal 

Matching Shares for Medicaid, the 

Children’s Health Insurance Program, 

and Aid to Needy Aged, Blind, or 

Disabled Persons for October 1, 2011 

through September 30, 2012 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Medical 

Assistance Percentages (FMAP) and 

Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance 

Percentages (eFMAP) for Fiscal Year 

2012 have been calculated pursuant to 

the Social Security Act (the Act). These 

percentages will be effective from 

October 1, 2011 through September 30, 

2012. This notice announces the 

calculated FMAP and eFMAP rates that 

the U.S. Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) will use in 

determining the amount of Federal 

matching for state medical assistance 

(Medicaid) and Children’s Health 

Insurance Program (CHIP) expenditures, 

Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF) Contingency Funds, 

Child Support Enforcement collections, 

Child Care Mandatory and Matching 

Funds of the Child Care and 

Development Fund, Foster Care Title 

IV–E Maintenance payments, and 

Adoption Assistance payments. The 

table gives figures for each of the 50 

states, the District of Columbia, Puerto 

Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, 

American Samoa, and the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands. 

Programs under title XIX of the Act 

exist in each jurisdiction. Programs 

under titles I, X, and XIV operate only 

in Guam and the Virgin Islands, while 

a program under title XVI (Aid to the 

Aged, Blind, or Disabled) operates only 

in Puerto Rico. The percentages in this 

notice apply to state expenditures for 

most medical assistance and child 

health assistance, and assistance 

payments for certain social services. The 

Act provides separately for Federal 

matching of administrative costs. 

Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of 

the Act require the Secretary of HHS to 

publish the FMAP rates each year. The 

Secretary calculates the percentages, 

using formulas in sections 1905(b) and 

1101(a)(8)(B), and calculations by the 

Department of Commerce of average 

income per person in each state and for 

the Nation as a whole. The percentages 

must fall within the upper and lower 

limits given in section 1905(b) of the 

Act. The percentages for the District of 

Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin 

Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and 

the Northern Mariana Islands are 

specified in statute, and thus are not 

based on the statutory formula that 

determines the percentages for the 50 

states. 

Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies 

the formula for calculating FMAPs as 

follows: 

‘‘Federal medical assistance percentage’’ for 

any State shall be 100 per centum less the 

State percentage; and the State percentage 

shall be that percentage which bears the same 

ratio to 45 per centum as the square of the 

per capita income of such State bears to the 

square of the per capita income of the 

continental United States (including Alaska) 

and Hawaii; except that (1) the Federal 

medical assistance percentage shall in no 

case be less than 50 per centum or more than 

83 per centum, (2) the Federal medical 

assistance percentage for Puerto Rico, the 

Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana 

Islands, and American Samoa shall be 50 per 

centum. 

Section 4725(b) of the Balanced 

Budget Act of 1997 amended section 

1905(b) to provide that the FMAP for 

the District of Columbia for purposes of 

titles XIX and XXI shall be 70 percent. 

For the District of Columbia, we note 

under the table of FMAPs that other 

rates may apply in certain other 

programs. In addition, we note the rate 

that applies for Puerto Rico, the Virgin 

Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands in certain other 

programs pursuant to section 1118 of 

the Act. 

Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies 

the formula for calculating the eFMAP 

rates as follows: 

The ‘‘enhanced FMAP’’, for a State for a 

fiscal year, is equal to the Federal medical 

assistance percentage (as defined in the first 

sentence of section 1905(b)) for the State 

increased by a number of percentage points 

equal to 30 percent of the number of 

percentage points by which (1) such Federal 

medical assistance percentage for the State, is 

less than (2) 100 percent; but in no case shall 

the enhanced FMAP for a state exceed 85 

percent. 

The eFMAP rates are used in the 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

under Title XXI, and in the Medicaid 

program for certain children for 

expenditures for medical assistance 

described in sections 1905(u)(2) and 

1905(u)(3) of the Act. There is no 

specific requirement to publish the 

eFMAP rates. We include them in this 

notice for the convenience of the states. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The percentages 

listed will be effective for each of the 

four quarter-year periods beginning 

October 1, 2011 and ending September 

30, 2012.
