SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In FR Doc. 2011-12383 of May 20, 2011 (76 FR 29249), there was a 
technical error that has been identified and corrected in the section 
III. of this notice (Correction of Errors section).

II. Summary of Errors

    On page 29250 of the notice in the DATES section, we inadvertently 
requested that the Office of the Federal Register base the application 
submission deadline on the 60th day after publication of the notice 
(that is, July 19, 2011) instead of postmarked on or before July 18, 
2011 which was noted in the information posted on our Center for 
Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Web site and in the Pioneer ACO 
Application. (For more information see http://innovations.cms.gov/areas-of-focus/seamless-and-coordinated-care-models/pioneer-aco/.) 
Therefore, in section III. of this correction notice, we correct this 
error by inserting the date of the application submission deadline that 
coincides with the application submission deadline announced in the 
Request for Application posted on the CMMI Web site, which is 
postmarked on or before July 18, 2011.

III. Correction of Errors

    In FR Doc. 2011-12383 of May 20, 2011 (76 FR 29249), make the 
following correction:
    1. On page 29250, in the DATES section, lines 10 and 11, the 
sentence ``Applications must be received on or before July 19, 2011.'' 
is corrected to read ``Applications must be postmarked on or before 
July 18, 2011.''

    Authority:  Section 1115A of the Social Security Act.

    Dated: June 2, 2011.
