Abstract:	This proposed rule would make regulatory revisions based on a change in our interpretation of section 1860D–22(b) of the Social Security Act. We would interpret this provision as providing us with the authority to ‘‘waive or modify’’ statutory requirements pertaining to the Retiree Drug Subsidy (RDS) program in order to facilitate the offering of a prescription drug plan covering employees or retirees.
