Summary of Errors in the Preamble On page 80252, in our discussion of certain primary care services, we made typographical errors and referenced the final HCPCS G-codes incorrectly. On page 80268, we made a typographical error in the new locality number for Stockton-Lodi-CA. On page 80330, due to a drafting error, we inadvertently stated that we did not receive any comments on our proposals for the Electroencephalogram (EEG) family of codes, CPT Codes 95812, 95813, and 95957. On page 80540, we inadvertently included language in our discussion of ICRs regarding payment to organizations that provide Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program Services. On page 80543, due to a drafting error, in our discussion of RVUs relative to 2016, we inadvertently used the result descriptors incorrectly. On page 80543, due to typographical errors the title of Table 51 and the CY 2017 RVU Budget Neutrality Adjustment are incorrect. B. Summary and Correction of Errors in the Addenda on the CMS Web Site Due to a data error, the incorrect CY 2017 PE RVUs are included in Addendum B for HCPCS codes G0422 E:\FR\FM\29DER1.SGM 29DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 250 / Thursday, December 29, 2016 / Rules and Regulations and G0423. The corrected CY 2017 PE RVUs for these codes are reflected in the corrected Addendum B available on the CMS Web site at www.cms.gov// PhysicianFeeSched/. III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the agency is required to publish a notice of the proposed rule in the Federal Register before the provisions of a rule take effect. Similarly, section 1871(b)(1) of the Act requires the Secretary to provide for notice of the proposed rule in the Federal Register and provide a period of not less than 60 days for public comment. In addition, section 553(d) of the APA and section 1871(e)(1)(B)(i) of the Act mandate a 30day delay in effective date after issuance or publication of a rule. Sections 553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3) of the APA provide for exceptions from the APA notice and comment, and delay in effective date requirements; in cases in which these exceptions apply, sections 1871(b)(2)(C) and 1871(e)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act provide exceptions from the notice and 60-day comment period and delay in effective date requirements of the Act as well. Section 553(b)(B) of the APA and section 1871(b)(2)(C) of the Act authorize an agency to dispense with normal notice and comment rulemaking procedures for good cause if the agency makes a finding that the notice and comment process is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public Current locality No. interest; and includes a statement of the finding and the reasons for it in the rule. In addition, section 553(d)(3) of the APA and section 1871(e)(1)(B)(ii) allow the agency to avoid the 30-day delay in effective date where such delay is contrary to the public interest and the agency includes in the rule a statement of the finding and the reasons for it. In our view, this correcting document does not constitute a rulemaking that would be subject to these requirements. This document merely corrects technical errors in the CY 2017 PFS final rule. The corrections contained in this document are consistent with, and do not make substantive changes to, the policies and payment methodologies that were proposed subject to notice and comment procedures and adopted in the CY 2017 PFS final rule. As a result, the corrections made through this correcting document are intended to resolve inadvertent errors so that the rule accurately reflects the policies adopted in the final rule. 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 document into the CY 2017 PFS final rule or delaying the effective date of the corrections would be contrary to the public interest because it is in the public interest to ensure that the rule accurately reflects New locality No. 99 .................................. 73 95891 our policies as of the date they take effect. Further, such procedures would be unnecessary because we are not making any substantive revisions to the final rule, but rather, we are simply correcting the Federal Register document to reflect the policies that we previously proposed, received public comment on, and subsequently finalized in the final rule. For these reasons, we believe there is good cause to waive the requirements for notice and comment and delay in effective date. IV. Correction of Errors In FR Doc. 2016–26668 of November 15, 2016 (81 FR 80170–80562), make the following corrections: 1. On page 80252, a. First column; in the section heading, 5.

ACTION: Temporary orders; inseason orders. AGENCY: NMFS publishes Fraser River salmon inseason orders to regulate treaty and non-treaty (all citizen) commercial salmon fisheries in U.S. waters. The orders were issued by the Fraser River Panel (Panel) of the Pacific Salmon Commission (Commission) and subsequently approved and issued by NMFS during the 2016 salmon fisheries within the U.S. Fraser River Panel Area. These orders established fishing dates, times, and areas for the gear types of U.S. treaty Indian and all citizen commercial fisheries during the period the Panel exercised jurisdiction over these fisheries. In 2016, only treaty Indian fisheries were affected by these orders.

Government of Canada concerning Pacific Salmon was signed at Ottawa on January 28, 1985, and subsequently was given effect in the United States by the Pacific Salmon Treaty Act (Act) at 16 U.S.C. 3631–3644. Under authority of the Act, Federal regulations at 50 CFR part 300, subpart F, provide a framework for the implementation of certain regulations of the Commission and inseason orders of the Commission’s Fraser River Panel for U.S. sockeye and pink salmon fisheries in the Fraser River Panel Area. The regulations close the U.S. portion of the Fraser River Panel Area to U.S. sockeye and pink salmon tribal and non-tribal commercial fishing unless opened by Panel orders that are given effect by inseason regulations published by NMFS. During the fishing season, NMFS may issue regulations that establish fishing times and areas consistent with the Commission agreements and inseason orders of the Panel. Such orders must be consistent with domestic legal obligations and are issued by the Regional Administrator, West Coast Region, NMFS. Official notification of these inseason actions is provided by two telephone hotline numbers described at 50 CFR 300.97(b)(1) and in 81 FR 26157 (May 2, 2016). The inseason orders are published in the Federal Register as soon as practicable after they are issued. Due to the frequency with which inseason orders are issued, publication of individual orders is impractical. Inseason Orders The following inseason orders were adopted by the Panel and issued for U.S. fisheries by NMFS during the 2016 fishing season. Each of the following inseason actions were effective upon announcement on telephone hotline numbers as specified at 50 CFR 300.97(b)(1) and in 81 FR 26157 (May 2, 2016); those dates and times are listed herein.

In FR Doc 2016-26668 (81 FR 80170 through 80562), the final rule
entitled, ``Medicare Program; Revisions to Payment Policies under the
Model; Medicare Shared Savings Program Requirements'' there were a
number of technical and typographical errors that are identified and
corrected in this correcting document. These corrections are effective
as if they had been included in the document published November 15,
2016. Accordingly, the corrections are effective January 1, 2017.

addition, section 553(d) of the APA and section 1871(e)(1)(B)(i) of the
Act mandate a 30-day delay in effective date after issuance or
provide for exceptions from the APA notice and comment, and delay in
effective date requirements; in cases in which these exceptions apply,
sections 1871(b)(2)(C) and 1871(e)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act provide
exceptions from the notice and 60-day comment period and delay in
effective date requirements of the Act as well. Section 553(b)(B) of
the APA and section 1871(b)(2)(C) of the Act authorize an agency to
dispense with normal notice and comment rulemaking procedures for good
cause if the agency makes a finding that the notice and comment process
is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest; and
includes a statement of the finding and the reasons for it in the rule.
In addition, section 553(d)(3) of the APA and section 1871(e)(1)(B)(ii)
allow the agency to avoid the 30-day delay in effective date where such
delay is contrary to the public interest and the agency includes in the
rule a statement of the finding and the reasons for it.
In our view, this correcting document does not constitute a
rulemaking that would be subject to these requirements. This document
merely corrects technical errors in the CY 2017 PFS final rule. The
corrections contained in this document are consistent with, and do not
make substantive changes to, the policies and payment methodologies
that were proposed subject to notice and comment procedures and adopted

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 document into
the CY 2017 PFS final rule or delaying the effective date of the
corrections would be contrary to the public interest because it is in
the public interest to ensure that the rule accurately reflects our
policies as of the date they take effect. Further, such procedures
would be unnecessary because we are not making any substantive
revisions to the final rule, but rather, we are simply correcting the
Federal Register document to reflect the policies that we previously
proposed, received public comment on, and subsequently finalized in the
final rule. For these reasons, we believe there is good cause to waive
the requirements for notice and comment and delay in effective date.
