Medicare Program; Partial Hospitalization Services in Community

Mental Health Centers; Correction

AGENCY: Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), HHS.

ACTION: Interim final rule with comment period; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In the February 11, 1994, issue of the Federal Register (FR

Doc. 94-2680) (59 FR 6570), we set forth the coverage criteria and

payment methodology for partial hospitalization services in community

mental health centers. This rule also established regulations governing

this coverage under the provisions of section 4162 of the Omnibus

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. This notice corrects errors made in

that document.

DATES: The interim final rule published February 11, 1994 (59 FR 6570)

is effective March 13, 1994. This correction to that rule is effective

February 11, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Regina Walker, (410) 966-6735.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In our February 11, 1994, interim final rule

with comment period (FR Doc. 94-2680) (59 FR 6570), we inadvertently

stated that the effective date of the regulations was the date of

publication. However, the regulations should take effect 30 days after

publication, that is, on March 13, 1994.

Therefore, we are making the following corrections to the February

11, 1994, interim final rule with comment period:

1. On page 6570, in the third column, the first paragraph of the

``DATES'' section that read:

``DATES: Effective date: These rules are effective February 11, 1994.''

is revised to read:

``DATES: Effective date: These regulations are effective on March 13,

1994.''

2. On page 6575, in the second column, the section title that read:

``VI. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking and of Delayed Effective Date''

is revised to read:

``VI. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking''.
