Medicare Program; Use of Restraint

and Seclusion in Residential Treatment

Facilities Providing Inpatient

Psychiatric Services to Individuals

Under Age 21: Delay of Effective Date

AGENCY: Health Care Financing

Administration (HCFA), HHS.

ACTION: Interim final rule; delay of

effective date.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

memorandum of January 20, 2001, from

the Assistant to the President and Chief

of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Review

Plan,’’ published in the January 24, 2001

Federal Register, this action temporarily

delays for 60 days the effective date of

the interim final rule entitled ‘‘Use of

Restraint and Seclusion in Residential

Treatment Facilities Providing Inpatient

Psychiatric Service to Individuals Under

Age 21’’ published in the January 22,

2001 Federal Register (66 FR 7148).

That interim final rule establishes a

definition of a ‘‘psychiatric residential

treatment facility’’ that is not a hospital

and that may furnish covered Medicaid

inpatient psychiatric services for

individuals under age 21. This rule also

sets forth a Condition of Participation

that psychiatric residential treatment

facilities that are not hospitals must

meet to provide, or to continue to

provide, the Medicaid inpatient

psychiatric services benefit to

individuals under age 21. The effective

date of that rule, which would have

been March 23, 2001, is now May 22,

2001. The temporary 60-day delay in

effective date is necessary to give

Department officials the opportunity for

further review and consideration of new

regulations, consistent with the

Assistant to the President’s

memorandum of January 20, 2001. To

the extent that 5 U.S.C. section 553

applies to this action, it is exempt from

notice and comment because it

constitutes a rule of procedure under 5

U.S.C. section 553(b)(3)(a).

Alternatively, HCFA’s implementation

of this rule without opportunity for

public comment, effective immediately

upon publication today in the Federal

Register, is based on the good cause

exceptions in 5 U.S.C. section

553(b)(3)(B) and 553(d)(3), in that

seeking public comment is

impracticable, unnecessary, and

contrary to the public interest. Given the

imminence of the effective date, seeking

prior public comment on this temporary

delay would have been impractical, as

well as contrary to the public interest,

in the orderly promulgation and

implementation of regulations.

DATES: The effective date of the interim

final rule amending 42 CFR parts 441

and 483 published in the January 22,

2001 Federal Register (66 FR 7148), is

delayed 60 days, from March 23, 2001

to a new effective date of May 22, 2001.
