should have had an EFMAP .01% lower than that published in January.

published in the Federal Register (PP. 1805-1808) the Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages (FMAP) and the Enhanced Federal Assistance
Percentages (EFMAP). The FMAP values were correct. The EFMAP values for

FMAP values from which the EFMAP values were computed. The correct
EFMAP values for the eight states are:
