**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

In FR Doc. 2010–19092 of August 16, 2010 (75 FR 50042), there were a number of technical errors that are identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section below. The provisions in this correction notice are effective as if they had been included in the document entitled ‘‘Medicare Program; Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems for Acute Care Hospitals and the Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System Changes and FY 2011 Rates; Provider Agreements and Supplier Approvals; and Hospital Conditions of Participation for Rehabilitation and Respiratory Care Services; Medicaid Program: Accreditation for Providers of Inpatient Psychiatric Services ’’ (hereinafter referred to as the fiscal year (FY) 2011 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule) that appeared in August 16, 2010 Federal Register . Accordingly, the corrections are effective October 1, 2010. II. Summary of Errors The following is a summary of the errors identified in the FY 2011 IPPS/ LTCH PPS final rule and corrected in section III. of this notice: A. Summary of Errors in the Preamble

On page 50099, we are correcting errors in the present on admission (POA) indicator ‘‘Y ’’ percentage for two previously considered hospital acquired conditions (HACs) that are listed in Chart H ‘‘POA Status of Previously Considered ‘Candidate’ HAC Conditions—October 2008 Through September 2009. ’’

On page 50161, we are correcting a website reference error in the first footnote to the table regarding the Frontier States identified for the FY 2011 wage index floor adjustment.

On page 50224, in our discussion of the data submission and reporting requirements for the Reporting Hospital Quality Data for Annual Payment Update (RHQDAPU) program, we inadvertently indicated that the Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI) measure would be part of the measure set for the FY 2012 payment determination rather than the FY 2013 payment determination. We had previously, on page 50202, finalized the CLABSI measure for the FY 2013 payment determination and the information on page 50224 should have reflected this policy. B. Summary of Errors in the Addendum

On page 50432, in the table

‘‘ Comparison of FY 2010 Standardized Amounts to the FY 2011 Standardized


### 60641 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

Amount with Full and Reduced Update ’’ we inadvertently indicated the incorrect figures in the column headings.

On page 50433, in our discussion of the Federal rate, we inadvertently indicated an incorrect amount for the low-volume payment adjustment.

On pages 50451 through 50547 in Table 2, we are correcting the provider and wage index data to reflect corrections to Tables 4C, 4J, and 9A.

On pages 50516 through 50520, Table 4C, we inadvertently made technical errors in several hospitals’ geographic reclassifications that were used in calculating the wage index that was published in the FY 2011 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule. As a result of reclassification corrections in Table 9A, the wage index for CBSA 22180 increased from 0.9193 to 0.9254. The wage indices for CBSA 26580 (KY, OH, WV) decreased from 0.8726 to 0.8672. The addition of provider 360096 to Table 9A also results in a wage index for Ohio hospitals reclassifying to CBSA 49660 of 0.8558.

On pages 50540 through 50547 in Table 4J, we inadvertently omitted providers located in Tarrant County, TXthat are eligible to receive the outmigration adjustment. As a result of the reclassification correction to provider 360096, we are correcting Table 4J to indicate that the provider will be reclassified for FY 2011.

On pages 50593 through 50604, in Table 9A.—Hospital Reclassifications and Redesignations—FY 2011, we are correcting an error in the reclassification of provider 340008; the provider was reclassified to CBSA 22180 rather than CBSA 26580. Also, we have added provider to 360096 to Table 9A.

IV. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking and Delay in Effective Date

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.

Section 553(d) of the APA ordinarily requires a 30-day delay in effective date of final rules after the date of their publication in the Federal Register

. This 30-day delay in effective date can be waived, however, if an agency finds for good cause that the delay is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, and the agency incorporates a statement of the findings and its reasons in the rule issued.

In our view, this notice does not constitute a rulemaking that would be subject to the APA notice and comment or delayed effective date requirements. This notice merely corrects typographical and technical errors in the preamble and addendum of the FY 2011 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule and does not make substantive changes to the policies or payment methodologies that were adopted in the final rule. As a result, this notice is intended to ensure that the FY 2011 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule accurately reflects the policies adopted in that rule.

In addition, even if this were a rulemaking to which the notice and comment and delayed effective date requirements applied, we find that there is good cause to waive such requirements. Undertaking further notice and comment procedures to incorporate the corrections in this notice into the final rule or delaying the effective date would delay these corrections beyond the October 1 start of the fiscal year, and would be contrary to the public interest. Furthermore, such procedures would be unnecessary, as we are not altering the policies that were already subject to comment and finalized in our final rule.

Therefore, we believe we have good cause to waive the notice and comment and effective date requirements.
