Abstract: In accordance with the
memorandum of January 20, 2009, from
the Assistant to the President and Chief
of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Review
Plan,’’ this action temporarily delays for
60 days the effective date of the final
rule entitled ‘‘Medicare Program;
Changes to the Competitive Acquisition
of Certain Durable Medical Equipment,
Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies
(DMEPOS) by Certain Provisions of the
Medicare Improvements for Patients and
Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA)’’
published in the January 16, 2009
Federal Register (74 FR 2873). The
temporary 60-day delay in effective date
is necessary to give Department officials
the opportunity for further review of the
issues of law and policy raised by this
rule. In addition, this action solicits
additional comments on the delay of the
effective date.
