26310 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2018 / Notices 

in any federal health care program any 

individual who has been convicted of a 

criminal offense ‘‘related to the delivery 

of an item or service under [42 U.S.C. 

1395 et seq.] or under any State health 

care program.’’ The Agency has long 

held that the underlying conviction 

forming the basis for a registrant’s 

mandatory exclusion from participation 

in federal health care programs need not 

involve controlled substances for the 

Agency to revoke a DEA registration 

pursuant to § 824(a)(5). E.g., Orlando 

Ortega–Ortiz, M.D., 70 FR 15122, 15123 

(2005); Juan Pillot-Costas, M.D., 69 FR 

62084, 62085 (2004); Daniel OrtizVargas, M.D., 69 FR 62095, 62095– 

62096 (2004); KK Pharmacy, 64 FR 

49507, 49510 (1999); Stanley Dubin, 

D.D.S., 61 FR 60727, 60728 (1996); 

Nelson Ramirez-Gonzalez, M.D., 58 FR 

52787, 52788 (1993). 

Here, Registrant was convicted of two 

counts of felony Health Care Fraud 

related to billing for services that were 

not rendered. The Agency has 

previously held that a mandatory 

exclusion based on a felony fraud 

conviction for overbilling warranted 

revocation of a Registrant’s registration 

pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(5). E.g., 

Johnnie Melvin Turner, M.D., 67 FR 

71203, 71203–71204 (2002) (revocation 

where mandatory exclusion was based 

on guilty plea to one felony count of 

mail fraud ‘‘by billing for services that 

were not rendered’’); Dubin, 61 FR at 

60728 (revocation where mandatory 

exclusion ‘‘based upon fraudulent 

billing’’); Ramirez-Gonzalez, 58 FR at 

52788 (revocation where mandatory 

exclusion based on submission of false 

claims). Moreover, Registrant has failed 

to come forward with any evidence 

explaining or mitigating his overbilling 

conduct or otherwise explaining why 

his registration should not be revoked, 

and the record reflects no such 

evidence. See Joseph M. Piacentile, 

M.D., 62 FR 35527, 35528 (1997) 

(revoking DEA registration where 

Registrant ‘‘did not offer any evidence 

into the record regarding why his 

registration should not be revoked’’ 

pursuant to § 824(a)(5)). 

Based on the 2017 HHS letter, I find 

that the evidence shows that HHS 

excluded Registrant from participation 

in any federal health care program based 

on his federal convictions for health 

care fraud related to overbilling. 

Registrant has thus been excluded 

pursuant to the mandatory exclusion 

provisions of 42 U.S.C. 1320a–7(a), and 

I hold that this unchallenged basis for 

his mandatory exclusion is sufficient to 

warrant revocation of his DEA 

registration pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 

824(a)(5). 

Accordingly, I will order that his 

registration be revoked and deny any 

pending applications to renew or to 

modify his registration, as requested in 

the Show Cause Order. Order to Show 

Cause, at 1. Finally, because Registrant’s 

DATA-Waiver authority is contingent 

on Registrant being a practitioner with 

a valid DEA registration, see 21 U.S.C. 

823(g)(2)(A); 21 CFR 1301.28(a), I will 

revoke his DATA-Waiver authority as 

well. 

Order 

Pursuant to the authority vested in me 

by 21 U.S.C. 823(f) and 824(a), as well 

as 28 CFR 0.100(b), I order that DEA 

Certificate of Registration No. 

BH2140692 and DATA-Waiver 

Identification Number XH2140692, 

issued to Richard Hauser, M.D., be, and 

they hereby are, revoked. I further order 

that any pending application of Richard 

Hauser to renew or to modify the above 

registration, be, and it hereby is, denied. 

This Order is effective July 6, 2018. 

Dated: May 25, 2018.

Acting Administrator.

II. Discussion 

The NRC is issuing for public 

comment a draft plant-specific 

Supplement 58 to the GEIS for license 

renewal of nuclear plants, NUREG– 

1437, regarding the renewal of operating 

license NPF–47 for an additional 20 

years of operation for RBS. Supplement 

58 to the GEIS includes the preliminary 

analysis that evaluates the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and alternatives to the proposed 

action. The NRC’s preliminary 

recommendation is that the adverse 

environmental impacts of license 

renewal for RBS are not so great that 

preserving the option of license renewal 

for energy-planning decisionmakers 

would be unreasonable.

of June 2018.
