AGENCY:

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

ACTION:

Notice of retraction of a new system of records.

SUMMARY:

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services CMS inadvertently published a new system of records titled “Post Acute Care Payment Reform/Continuity of Assessment Report and Evaluation Demonstration and Evaluation (PAC-CARE)” System No. 09-70-0569 in the Federal Register (FR) on Thursday, April 19, 2007 (72 FR 19711).

The notice of a new system of records will be republished at a later date with the routine use included.
