### FR 24971 (April 27, 2006). Need for Corrections

As published inthe final rule, the definition for the term "excitation current" which can also be referred to
as "no-load current" contains a typographical error that may prove to be misleading, and needs tobe corrected. In the final rule, the conjunction "or" appearing between the terms "excitation current" and "no-load current" was italicized, such that the two terms 

### excitation current and 

### no-load current appeared as one continuous phrase (i.e., 

### excitation current or

### no-load current). The Department is concernedthat the italicization ofthe word "or" may lead to confusion about the defined term. This technical correction document
removes the italicization ofthe word "or." Theremainder ofthe definition (Le., "means the currentthat flows in any winding used to excite the transformer when all other windings are open-circuited") was correct in the final rule and is not amendedbythis technical correction.

In a comment submitted after the publication ofthe final rule, NEMA broughtto the Department's attention two typographical errors thathave an impact onthe calculation ofdistribution transformer efficiency and mustbe corrected. (NEMA, No. 61 at p. 1) In the final rule notice, Equation 5-1 was given as: 

# Pic =

# ~C2

# [Pos] =

# P lc2

# L 2 

### P

or 

### And an explanation ofone ofthe terms in equation 5-1, Pos, was given as follows:

Pos is the specified energy efficiency load level, where, Pos = 

### PorL2, and

NEMA determined that there are typographical errors inboth equation 5- 1 and the explanation ofthe term Pos. The Department carefully reviewed this comment, and agrees with NEMA's determination. In equation 5-1, the quantity contained in the square brackets shouldbe squared (Le., ra:ised to the secondpower). In the explanation ofthe term Po" the variable represented by the letter "L" shouldnotbe squared. These errors were present inthe Department's previous supplemental notice ofproposed rulemaking for this test procedure (69 FR 45532), but were not identified at that time.

Today's technical correction document amends equation 5-1, raising the contents ofthe square brackets to the second power, so the corrected equation reads as follows:

Similarly, this technical correction document amends the explanation of the term Pos to remove the square from the variable L, so the corrected equation reads as follows:



### Pos is the specified energy efficiency load level, where Pos

Before August 5, 1997, section 1902(a)(10)(E) of the Act specified that the State Medicaid plan must provide for some or all types of Medicare cost sharing for three eligibility groups of low-income Medicare beneficiaries. These three groups included qualified Medicare beneficiaries (QMBs), specified low-income Medicare beneficiaries (SLMBs), and qualified disabled and working individuals (QDWIs). A QMB is an individual entitled to Medicare Part A with income at or below the Federal poverty line (FPL) and resources below $4,000 for an individual and $6,000 for a couple. A SLMB is an individual who meets the QMB criteria, except that his or her income is above 100 percent of the FPL and does not exceed 120 percent of the FPL. A QDWI is a disabled individual qualifying individuals (QIs). Specifically, a new section 1902(a)(10)(E)(iv)(I) of the Act was added, under which States must pay the full amount of the Medicare Part B premium for qualifying individuals who are eligible QMBs but for the fact that their income level is at least 120 percent of the FPL but less than 135 percent of the FPL for a family of the size involved. These individuals cannot otherwise be eligible for medical assistance under the approved State Medicaid plan. The second group of QIs added under section 1902(a)(10)(E)(iv)(II) of the Act includes Medicare beneficiaries who would be QMBs except that their income is at least 135 percent but less than 175 percent of the FPL for a family of the size involved, who are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid under the approved State plan. These QIs were eligible for only a portion of Medicare cost sharing consisting of a percentage of the increase in the Medicare Part B premium attributable to the shift of Medicare home health coverage from Part A to Part B (as provided in section 4611 of the BBA). Coverage of the second group of QIs ended on December 31, 2002, and in 2003, section 401 of the Welfare Reform Bill (Pub. L. 108-89), enacted on October 1, 2003, eliminated reference to the QI-2 benefit. In each of the years 2002 and 2003, continuing resolutions extended the coverage of the first group of QIs (whose income is at least 120 percent but less than 135 percent of the Federal poverty line) through the following fiscal year, but maintained the annual funding at the FY 2002 level. In 2004, Public Law 108-448 was enacted, which continued coverage of this group through September 30, 2005, again with no change in funding. The BBA also added a new section 1933 to the Act to provide for Medicaid payment of Medicare Part B premiums

### AllotmentsPrior to 

### FY2005

Section 1902 ofthe Social Security Act (the Act) sets forth the requirements for State plans for medical assistance. Before August 5,1997, section 1902(a)(10)(E) ofthe Act specifiedthat the State Medicaid plan must provide for some or all types ofMedicare cost sharing for three eligibility groups of low-income Medicare beneficiaries. These three groups included qualified Medicare beneficiaries (QMBs), specified low-income Medicare beneficiaries (SLMBs), and qualified disabled and working individuals (QDWIs).

A QMB is an individual entitled to Medicare Part A with income at or belowthe Federal poverty line (FPL) and resources below $4,000 for an individual and $6,000 for a couple. A SLMB is an individual who meets the QMB criteria, exceptthat his orher income is above 100 percent ofthe FPL and does not exceed 120 percent ofthe FPL. A QnWI is a disabled individual who is entitled to enroll inMedicare PartA under section 1818A ofthe Act, whose income does not exceed 200 percent ofthe FPL for a family ofthe size involved, whose resources do not exceedtwice the amount allowed under the Supplementary SecurityIncome (SSI) program, and who is not otherwise eligible for Medicaid. The definition of Medicare cost-sharing at section 1905(p)(3) ofthe Act includes payment for premiums for Medicare Part B.

Section 4732 ofthe Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA), enacted on August 5, 1997, amended section 1902(a)(10)(E) ofthe Act to require States to provide for Medicaid payment ofthe Medicare PartB premiums for two additional eligibility groups oflow-income Medicare beneficiaries, referred to as qualifying individuals (QIs).

Specifically, a new section 1902(a)(10)(E)(iv)(I) ofthe Act was added, under which States must paythe full amount ofthe Medicare Part B premium for qualifying individuals who
are eligible QMBs but for the fact that their income level is at least 120 percent ofthe FPL but less than 135 percent of the FPL for a family ofthe size involved. These individuals cannot otherwise be eligible for medical assistance under the approved State Medicaid plan. The second group ofQIs added under section 1902(a)(10)(E)(iv)(II) ofthe Act includes Medicare beneficiaries who wouldbe QMBs exceptthat their income is at least 135 percentbut less than 175 percent ofthe FPL for a family ofthe size involved, who are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid under the approved State plan. These QIs were eligible for only a portion ofMedicare cost sharing consisting ofa percentage ofthe increase inthe Medicare Part B premium attributable to the shift of Medicare home health coverage from PartA to Part B (as provided in section 4611 ofthe BBA).

Coverage ofthe second group ofQIs ended onDecember 31,2002, and in 2003, section 401 ofthe Welfare Reform Bill (Pub. L. 108-89), enacted on October 1, 2003, eliminated reference to the QI-2 benefit. In each ofthe years 2002 and 2003, continuingresolutions extendedthe coverage ofthe first group ofQIs (whose income is at least 120 percentbut less than 135 percent ofthe Federal poverty line) through the following fiscal year, but maintained the annual funding at the FY 2002 level.

In 2004, Public Law 108-448 was enacted, which continued coverage of this group through September 30,2005, again with no change in funding.

The BBA also added a new section 1933 to the Act to provide for Medicaid payment ofMedicare Part B premiums
