2018-12-10; vol. 83 # 236 - Monday, December 10, 2018
83 FR 63419 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Adoption of the Methodology for the HHS-Operated Permanent Risk Adjustment Program for the 2018 Benefit Year Final Rule
FR Doc. 2018-26591
RIN 0938-AT66
CMS-9919-F
The provisions of this final rule are effective on February 8, 2019.
This final rule adopts the HHS-operated risk adjustment methodology for the 2018 benefit year. In February 2018, a district court vacated the use of statewide average premium in the HHS-operated risk adjustment methodology for the 2014 through 2018 benefit years. Following review of all submitted comments to the proposed rule, HHS is adopting for the 2018 benefit year an HHS-operated risk adjustment methodology that utilizes the statewide average premium and is operated in a budget-neutral manner, as established in the final rules published in the March 23, 2012 and the December 22, 2016 editions of the Federal Register .
2018-12-04; vol. 83 # 233 - Tuesday, December 4, 2018
83 FR 62496 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Elimination of Internal Agency Process for Implementation of the Federally-Facilitated User Fee Adjustment
FR Doc. 2018-26332
RIN 0938-AT93
CMS-9917-F
These regulations are effective on January 3, 2019.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is issuing this final rule to eliminate references to internal Executive Branch procedures provided for under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circular A-25R in connection with an adjustment to the Federally-facilitated Exchange (FFE) user fee. HHS is amending these regulations because it has determined that an exception to OMB circular A-25R is not required to effectuate the FFE user fee adjustment. Thus, this final rule removes the language that refers to an exception under OMB circular A-25R as an aspect of reducing a participating issuer&apos;s FFE user fee obligation. This rule does not affect the ability of an issuer to obtain an applicable reduction in FFE user fee obligations, amend the calculation of the FFE user fee credit provided to a participating issuer, change the application of the monthly user fee adjustment, or alter any of the other standards that participating issuers must meet to qualify for the user fee adjustment.
FR Doc. 2018-24512
RIN 1545-BN92
TD-9840
CMS-9940-F2
Effective date: These regulations are effective on January 14, 2019.
These rules finalize, with changes based on public comments, interim final rules concerning religious exemptions and accommodations regarding coverage of certain preventive services issued in the Federal Register on October 13, 2017. These rules expand exemptions to protect religious beliefs for certain entities and individuals whose health plans are subject to a mandate of contraceptive coverage through guidance issued pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. These rules do not alter the discretion of the Health Resources and Services Administration, a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to maintain the guidelines requiring contraceptive coverage where no regulatorily recognized objection exists. These rules also leave in place an “accommodation” process as an optional process for certain exempt entities that wish to use it voluntarily. These rules do not alter multiple other federal programs that provide free or subsidized contraceptives for women at risk of unintended pregnancy.

These rules finalize, with changes based on public comments, the interim final rules issued in the Federal Register on October 13, 2017 concerning moral exemptions and accommodations regarding coverage of certain preventive services. These rules finalize expanded exemptions to protect moral beliefs for certain entities and individuals whose health plans are subject to a mandate of contraceptive coverage through guidance issued pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. These rules do not alter the discretion of the Health Resources and Services Administration, a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to maintain the guidelines requiring contraceptive coverage where no regulatorily recognized objection exists. These rules also leave in place an optional “accommodation” process for certain exempt entities that wish to use it voluntarily.

83 FR 56015 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Exchange Program Integrity
FR Doc. 2018-24504
RIN 0938-AT53
CMS-9922-P
Comments: To be assured consideration, comments must be received at one of the addresses provided below, no later than 5 p.m. on January 8, 2019.
This proposed rule would revise standards relating to oversight of Exchanges established by states, periodic data matching frequency and authority, and the length of a consumer&apos;s authorization for the Exchange to obtain updated tax information. This proposed rule would also propose new requirements for certain issuers related to the collection of a separate payment for the premium portion attributable to coverage for certain abortion services. Many of these proposed changes would help strengthen Exchange program integrity.
83 FR 55504 - Implementing the Freedom of Information Act
FR Doc. 2018-23481
RIN 3135-AA27
NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES, National Endowment for the Arts
45 CFR Part 1148
On June 9, 2017, the NEA proposed a rule titled Implementing the Freedom of Information Act. This rule proposes amending the National Endowment for the Arts&apos; (NEA) regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The new proposed rule reflects statutory changes to FOIA, current NEA organizational structure, and current NEA policies and practices with respect to FOIA. Finally, the proposed rule uses current cost figures in calculating and charging fees. Due to delays in publishing the final rule, the agency is re-opening the comment period on these rules for an additional 30 days.
83 FR 54420 - Health Reimbursement Arrangements and Other Account-Based Group Health Plans
FR Doc. 2018-23183
REG-136724-17
CMS-9918-P
Comments are due on or before December 28, 2018.
83 FR 53575 - State Relief and Empowerment Waivers
FR Doc. 2018-23182
This guidance relates to section 1332 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and its implementing regulations. Section 1332 provides the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of the Treasury (collectively, the Secretaries) with the discretion to approve a state&apos;s proposal to waive specific provisions of the PPACA (a State Innovation Waiver, now also referred to as a State Relief and Empowerment Waiver), provided the section 1332 state plan meets certain requirements. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of the Treasury (collectively, the Departments) finalized implementing regulations on February 27, 2012. This updated guidance provides supplementary information about the requirements that must be met for the approval of a State Innovation Waiver, the Secretaries&apos; application review procedures, the calculation of pass-through funding, certain analytical requirements, and operational considerations. This guidance supersedes the guidance related to section 1332 of the PPACA that was previously published on December 16, 2015. Changes include increasing flexibility with respect to the manner in which a section 1332 state plan may meet section 1332 standards in order to be eligible to be approved by the Secretaries, clarifying the adjustments the Secretaries may make to maintain federal deficit neutrality, and allowing for states to use existing legislative authority to authorize section 1332 waivers in certain scenarios. The Departments are committed to empowering states to innovate in ways that will strengthen their health insurance markets, expand choices of coverage, target public resources to those most in need, and meet the unique circumstances of each state. This guidance aims to lower barriers to innovation for states seeking to reform their health insurance markets.
83 FR 51369 - Annual Civil Monetary Penalties Inflation Adjustment
FR Doc. 2018-22005
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources
83 FR 48558 - Head Start Program
FR Doc. 2018-20848
RIN 0970-AC78
The Office of Head Start will further delay the compliance date for programs to meet background checks requirements and participate in their state or local Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS). The Department delayed the compliance dates for these standards through a previous document in the Federal Register . Since then, we have learned programs could benefit from more time as they work to align with state systems to meet these federal standards.
83 FR 42627 - Privacy Act; Implementation
FR Doc. 2018-17888
RIN 0991-AC10
Comments on this notice must be received by September 24, 2018.
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (the Act), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or Department) is proposing to exempt a new system of records, System No. 09-90-1701, HHS Insider Threat Program Records, from certain requirements of the Act.
2018-08-21; vol. 83 # 162 - Tuesday, August 21, 2018
83 FR 42225 - Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System
FR Doc. 2018-17947
RIN 0970-AC76
The Children&apos;s Bureau will delay the compliance and effective dates in the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) 2016 final rule for title IV-E agencies to comply with agency rules for an additional one fiscal year. We are delaying the effective date due to our advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM), published on March 15, 2018, seeking public comment on suggestions for streamlining the AFCARS data elements and removing any undue burden related to reporting AFCARS data.
83 FR 39644 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Adoption of the Methodology for the HHS-Operated Permanent Risk Adjustment Program for the 2018 Benefit Year Proposed Rule
FR Doc. 2018-17142
This rule proposes to adopt the risk adjustment methodology that HHS previously established for the 2018 benefit year. In February 2018, a district court vacated the use of statewide average premium in the HHS-operated risk adjustment methodology for the 2014 through 2018 benefit years. HHS is proposing to adopt the HHS-operated risk adjustment methodology for the 2018 benefit year as established in the final rules published in the March 23, 2012 Federal Register and the December 22, 2016 Federal Register .
2018-08-06; vol. 83 # 151 - Monday, August 6, 2018
83 FR 38270 - Governing Bodies
FR Doc. 2018-16765
45 CFR Part 1607
This proposed rule revises the Legal Services Corporation (LSC or Corporation) regulation regarding recipient governing bodies. LSC is proposing two revisions to give recipient governing bodies flexibility in how they recruit, appoint, and retain client eligible members while remaining faithful to the LSC Act&apos;s requirement to appoint client-eligible board members who may also represent associations or organizations of eligible clients. First, LSC proposes to revise the definition of the term eligible client to remove the requirement that a client-eligible board member must be financially eligible “at the time of appointment to each term of office” (emphasis added). Second, LSC proposes to eliminate the requirement that client-eligible members be appointed by outside groups.
FR Doc. 2018-16568
Effective date: These final regulations are effective on October 2, 2018. Applicability date: Insurance policies sold on or after October 2, 2018 must meet the definition of short-term, limited-duration insurance contained in this final rule in order to be considered such insurance.
83 FR 36456 - Adoption of the Methodology for the HHS-Operated Permanent Risk Adjustment Program Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for the 2017 Benefit Year
FR Doc. 2018-16190
RIN 0938-AT65
83 FR 21925 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2019; Correction
FR Doc. 2018-10089
83 FR 18257 - Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System
FR Doc. 2018-08736
This document corrects the Regulatory Identification Number (RIN) that appeared in the heading of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published in the Federal Register of March 15, 2018. Through that document, the Children&apos;s Bureau proposed to delay the compliance and effective dates in the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) 2016 final rule for title IV-E agencies to comply with agency rules for an additional two fiscal years.
83 FR 17086 - Requests for Documents and Testimony
FR Doc. 2018-07964
This final rule is effective on May 18, 2018.
45 CFR Part 1603
83 FR 16785 - State Advisory Councils
FR Doc. 2018-07963
This final rule is effective on May 17, 2018.
This final rule removes the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) regulation on state advisory councils. LSC believes this action is appropriate because the state advisory councils are no longer active and their oversight functions have been replaced adequately by other offices and processes established since the regulation was promulgated. Executive Orders 13563, “Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,” and 13771, “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,” direct agencies to review their existing regulations and repeal or revise any that are obsolete or unnecessarily burdensome. Although LSC is not an agency of the Federal government subject to either Executive order, LSC regularly reviews its regulations and has determined that this regulation can be eliminated.
83 FR 16930 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2019
FR Doc. 2018-07355
Effective Date: These regulations are effective on June 18, 2018.
This final rule sets forth payment parameters and provisions related to the risk adjustment and risk adjustment data validation programs; cost-sharing parameters; and user fees for Federally-facilitated Exchanges and State Exchanges on the Federal platform. It finalizes changes that provide additional flexibility to States to apply the definition of essential health benefits (EHB) to their markets, enhance the role of States regarding the certification of qualified health plans (QHPs); and provide States with additional flexibility in the operation and establishment of Exchanges, including the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Exchanges. It includes changes to standards related to Exchanges; the required functions of the SHOPs; actuarial value for stand-alone dental plans; the rate review program; the medical loss ratio program; eligibility and enrollment; exemptions; and other related topics.
83 FR 14183 - Privacy Act; Implementation
FR Doc. 2018-06676
This final rule is effective April 3, 2018.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or Department), through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is issuing this final rule to make effective the exemptions that HHS/NIH proposed for a subset of records covered in a new Privacy Act system of records, System No. 09-25-0225, NIH Electronic Research Administration (eRA) Records (NIH eRA Records). The new system covers records used in managing NIH research and development applications and awards throughout the award lifecycle. The listed exemptions are necessary to maintain the integrity of the NIH extramural peer review and award processes, and will enable the agency to prevent, when appropriate, individual record subjects from having access to, and other rights under the Privacy Act with respect to, confidential source-identifying material in the records.
83 FR 11449 - Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System
FR Doc. 2018-05038
RIN 0970-AC47
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; delay of compliance and effective dates.
In order to be considered, we must receive written comments on this NPRM on or before April 16, 2018.
The Children&apos;s Bureau proposes to delay the compliance and effective dates in the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) 2016 final rule for title IV-E agencies to comply with agency rules for an additional two fiscal years. We propose to delay the compliance and effective dates at the same time we seek public comment through an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, on suggestions to streamline the AFCARS data elements and remove any undue burden related to reporting AFCARS.
