42 CFR Parts 401 and 405

[BPD-869-CN]


Medicare Program; Waiver of Recovery of Overpayments

AGENCY: Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), HHS.

ACTION: Correction notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 19, 1996, we published a final rule (61 FR 
49269), which duplicated in HCFA's regulations the content of two 
sections of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) regulations 
concerning waiver of recovery of overpayments. Since SSA was 
restructuring its regulations to apply only to the Federal Old-Age, 
Survivors and Disability Insurance Program, we established the content 
of these sections in 42 CFR part 405 to preserve the content of the SSA 
regulations that are applicable to the Medicare Program. This notice 
corrects an error in the authority citation in that document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are effective on October 21, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Walczak, (410) 786-4475.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 19, 1996, we published a final 
rule (61 FR 49269) concerning waiver of recovery of overpayments. This 
notice corrects an error in the authority citation in that document.
    On page 49271, in column one, under part 405, amendment 1, the 
authority citation for part 405, ``Authority: Secs. 1102, 1862, and 
1871 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302, 1395y, and 1895hh).'' 
is corrected to read, ``Authority: Secs. 1102, 1861, 1862(a), 1871, 
1874, and 1881 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302, 1395x,

Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 263a), unless otherwise noted.''
