SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In FR Doc. 2014–26183 of November 

13, 2014 (79 FR 67547 through 68092), 

there were a number of technical errors 

that are identified and corrected in the 

Correction of Errors section below. 

These corrections are effective January 

1, 2015. We note that the ambulance fee 

schedule ZIP code files for the CY 2015 

Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule 

with comment period as corrected in 

this correction notice are available on 

the CMS Web site at http://

www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Feefor-Service-Payment/

AmbulanceFeeSchedule/index.html. 

II. Summary of Errors 

A. Summary of Errors in the Preamble 

On page 67548, we inadvertently only 

listed § 403.904(c)(8) with a compliance 

date of January 1, 2016 for new data 

collection requirements. However, all of 

the changes in § 403.904 are effective 

January 1, 2016. 

On pages 67747, 67749, 67750 and 

67993 in our discussion of the updated 

Zip code analysis based on OMB’s 

revised delineations and updated RuralUrban Commuting Area (RUCA) codes, 

the percentages and totals of the ZIP 

codes changing from urban to rural and 

from rural to urban, the percentages and 

totals of the ZIP codes not changed, and 

the referenced state impacts are 

incorrect due to a technical error in the 

application of the updated RUCA codes. 

In addition, the total number of ZIP 

codes is incorrect. 

On pages 67748 through 67749, in 

Table 47: Updated ZIP Codes Analysis 

Based on OMB’s Revised Delineations 

and Updated RUCA Codes, the totals 

and percentages of the ZIP codes 

changing from urban to rural and from 

rural to urban, and the totals and 

percentages of the ZIP codes not 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 250 / Wednesday, December 31, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 78717 

changed are incorrect in certain rows of 

the table due to a technical error in the 

application of the updated RUCA codes. 

In addition, the total number of ZIP 

codes in East Missouri and the total 

number of ZIP codes in the country are 

incorrect. 

B. Summary and Correction of Errors on 

the CMS Web Site 

As discussed in section II.A. of this 

correcting document, as a result of a 

technical error in the application of the 

updated RUCA codes, certain ZIP code 

data in Table 47 of the CY 2015 PFS 

final rule with comment period and the 

updated analysis of this data in that 

final rule with comment period were 

incorrect. For the same reason, there 

were errors in the ambulance fee 

schedule ZIP code files that were made 

available on the CMS Web site. These 

errors are corrected in the revised ZIP 

code files available on the CMS Web site 

at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/

Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/

AmbulanceFeeSchedule/index.html. 

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking 

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 the 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. 

This document merely corrects 

typographical and technical errors in 

the preamble of the CY 2015 PFS final 

rule with comment period. The 

provisions of that final rule with 

comment period have been subjected to 

notice and comment procedures. The 

corrections contained in this document 

are consistent with, and do not make 

substantive changes to, the policies and 

payment methodologies that were 

adopted in the CY 2015 PFS final rule 

with comment period. As a result, the 

corrections made through this correcting 

document are intended to ensure that 

the CY 2015 PFS final rule with 

comment period accurately reflects the 

policies adopted in that rule. Therefore, 

we find for good cause that it is 

unnecessary and would be contrary to 

the public interest to undertake further 

notice and comment procedures to 

incorporate the corrections in this 

document into the CY 2015 PFS final 

rule with comment period. For the same 

reasons, we find that there is good cause 

to waive the 30-day delay in the 

effective date for these corrections. 

Further, we believe that it is in the 

public interest to ensure that the CY 

2015 PFS final rule with comment 

period accurately reflects our policies as 

of the date they take effect. Therefore, 

we find that delaying the effective date 

of these corrections beyond the effective 

date of the final rule with comment 

period would be contrary to the public 

interest. In so doing, we find good cause 

to waive the 30-day delay in effective 

date.

[Docket ID FEMA–2014–0002; Internal 

Agency Docket No. FEMA–8363] 

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at http://

www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective 

date of each community’s scheduled 

suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) 

listed in the third column of the 

following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact David Stearrett, 

Federal Insurance and Mitigation 

Administration, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction 

from future flooding. Section 1315 of 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, 

prohibits the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed in this document no 

longer meet that statutory requirement 

for compliance with program 

regulations, 44 CFR part 59. 

Accordingly, the communities will be 

suspended on the effective date in the 

third column. As of that date, flood 

insurance will no longer be available in 

the community. We recognize that some 

of these communities may adopt and 

submit the required documentation of 

legally enforceable floodplain 

management measures after this rule is 

published but prior to the actual 

suspension date. These communities 

will not be suspended and will continue 

to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance. A notice withdrawing the 

suspension of such communities will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that 

identifies the Special Flood Hazard 

Areas (SFHAs) in these communities. 

The date of the FIRM, if one has been 

published, is indicated in the fourth 

column of the table. No direct Federal 

financial assistance (except assistance 

pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act not in connection with a 

flood) may be provided for construction 

or acquisition of buildings in identified 

SFHAs for communities not 

participating in the NFIP and identified 

for more than a year on FEMA’s initial 

FIRM for the community as having 

flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the 

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 

42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This 

prohibition against certain types of 

Federal assistance becomes effective for 

the communities listed on the date 

shown in the last column. The 

Administrator finds that notice and 

public comment procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and 

unnecessary because communities listed 

in this final rule have been adequately 

notified. 

Each community receives 6-month, 

90-day, and 30-day notification letters 

addressed to the Chief Executive Officer 

stating that the community will be 

suspended unless the required 

floodplain management measures are 

met prior to the effective suspension 

date. Since these notifications were 

made, this final rule may take effect 

within less than 30 days. 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

This rule is categorically excluded from 

the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, 

Environmental Considerations. No 

environmental impact assessment has 

been prepared. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 

Administrator has determined that this 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, Section 1315, 42 

U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance 

coverage unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed no longer comply 

with the statutory requirements, and 

after the effective date, flood insurance 

will no longer be available in the 

communities unless remedial action 

takes place. 

Regulatory Classification. This final 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

under the criteria of section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 

1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 

58 FR 51735. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. 

This rule involves no policies that have 

federalism implications under Executive 

Order 13132. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. This rule meets the applicable 

standards of Executive Order 12988. 

Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule 

does not involve any collection of 

information for purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.
