SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under section 1115 of the Social Security Act (the Act), the 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may consider and approve 
research and demonstration proposals with a broad range of policy 
objectives. These demonstrations can lead to improvements in achieving 
the purposes of the Act.
    As part of our established procedures, we normally publish a 
monthly notice in the Federal Register with a listing of all new 
submissions, pending proposals, approvals, disapprovals, and withdrawn 
proposals. Proposals submitted in response to a grant solicitation or 
other competitive process are reported as received during the month 
that such grant or bid is awarded, so as to prevent interference with 
the awards process. In the month of December we received no new 
proposals and no changes to pending proposals.

II. New, Pending, Approved, and Withdrawn Proposals for the Month 
of January 1996

    During the month of January 1996 we received no new Comprehensive 
Health Reform Programs or Other Section 1115 Demonstration Proposals. 
We did not approve or disapprove any proposals during January 1996 nor 
were any proposals withdrawn during that month. Pending proposals for 
the month of November, 1995 published in the Federal Register on 
January 23, 1996, 61 FR 1769, remain unchanged for the month of 
January.

III. Requests for Copies of a Proposal

    Requests for copies of a specific Medicaid proposal should be made 
to the State contact listed for the specific proposal in the notice 
published on January 23, 1996. If further help or information is 
needed, inquiries should be directed to HCFA at the address above.
