    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    I. Background
    
        Under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act (the Act), the 
    Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) may approve research and 
    demonstration project proposals with a broad range of policy 
    objectives.
        In exercising her discretionary authority, the Secretary has 
    developed a number of policies and procedures for reviewing proposals. 
    On September 27, 1994, we published a notice in the Federal Register 
    (59 FR 49249) that specified (1) the principles that we ordinarily will 
    consider when approving or disapproving demonstration projects under 
    the authority in section 1115(a) of the Act; (2) the procedures we 
    expect States to use in involving the public in the development of 
    proposed demonstration projects under section 1115; and (3) the 
    procedures we ordinarily will follow in reviewing demonstration 
    proposals. We are committed to a thorough and expeditious review of 
    State requests to conduct such demonstrations.
