Non-formulary pharmaceutical agents shall be generally available under the pharmacy benefits program from retail non-network pharmacies and the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP). (ii) Availability of non-formulary pharmaceutical agents at military treatment facilities and retail network pharmacies. Even when particular nonformulary agents are not generally available at military treatment facilities or retail network pharmacies, they will be made available to eligible covered beneficiaries through those points of service for prescriptions approved through the non-formulary special approval process that validates the medical necessity for use of the nonformulary pharmaceutical agent.

(B) $5.00 co-payment per prescription for up to a 30-day supply of a generic pharmaceutical agent. For especially cost-effective drugs, upon the recommendation of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, prescriptions for a longer period supply, not to exceed 90 days, may be authorized for the same co-payment.

Any such adjusted amount will maintain compliance with the requirements of 10 U.S.C. 1074g(a)(6) with respect to maximum copayment amounts for non-formulary drugs, which also apply to formulary drugs. In adjusting copayment amounts, there is no requirement that amounts be the same for dependents of active duty members (and other beneficiaries covered by 10 U.S.C. 1079) as for retirees (and other beneficiaries covered by 10 U.S.C. 1086). (B) For purposes of paragraph (i)(2)(x)(A) of this section (the requirement that non-formulary cost sharing shall not exceed amounts generally comparable to 20 percent for active duty dependents and 25 percent for retirees and their dependents), those maximum amounts will be calculated based on the average government cost of PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 all prescriptions, other than prescriptions for generic drugs, in the following four groups: (1) Retail prescriptions for active duty dependents; (2) Retail prescriptions for beneficiaries covered by 10 U.S.C. 1086; (3) Mail order prescriptions for active duty dependents; (4) Mail order prescriptions for beneficiaries covered by 10 U.S.C. 1086. * * * * * (j) * * * (4) Upon the recommendation of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, a generic drug may be classified as nonformulary if it is less cost effective than non-generic formulary drugs in the same drug class.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period. AGENCY: On May 11, 2012, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to regulate hydraulic fracturing on public land and Indian land.

This rule is necessary to provide useful information to the public and to help ensure that hydraulic fracturing is conducted in a way that adequately protects the environment. Due to the complexity of the rule and the issues surrounding it, the BLM is extending the comment period for 60 days beyond the end of the initial comment period. As a result of this extension, the comment period will now close on September 10, 2012. DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published May 11, 2012, at 77 FR 27691, is extended.
