Medicare, Medicaid, and CLIA Programs; Continuance of the 
Approval of COLA as a CLIA Accreditation Organization; Correction

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

ACTION: Correction notice.

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

SUMMARY: In the October 31, 2000 issue of the Federal Register (65 FR 
64966), we published a notice announcing the continued approval of COLA 
(formerly the Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation) as an 
accreditation organization for laboratories under the Clinical 
Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) program. This document 
corrects a technical error that appeared in that document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The notice published on October 31, 2000 (64 FR 64966) 
is effective for the period October 31, 2000 through December 31, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In FR Doc. 00-27956 of October 31, 2000 (65 FR 64966), there was 
one technical error. The error relates to our inadvertently placing an 
incorrect effective date in section II (Notice of Continued Approval of 
COLA as an Accreditation Organization) of the Federal Register 
document. That date is inconsistent with the correct effective date, as 
presented in the EFFECTIVE DATE section of the October 31, 2000 notice.

II. Correction of Error

    In FR Doc. 00-27956 of October 31, 2000 (65 FR 64966), make the 
following correction:
    On page 64966, in the third column, in the first full paragraph, 
remove ``August 31, 2002'' and in its place add ``December 31, 2002''.

    Authority: Section 353 of the Public Health Service Act (42 
U.S.C. 263a).

    Dated: November 17, 2000.
Brian P. Burns,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Information Resources Management.
