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, Medicaid Program; State Flexibility for Medicaid Benefit Packages’’ published in the December 3, 2008 Federal Register (73 FR 73694). 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 reopens the comment period on the policies set out in the December 3, 2008 final rule to allow interested parties to provide comments about issues of law and policy raised by the rule.
