SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In FR Doc. No. 2019-03461 of March 4, 2019 (84 FR 7714 through 
7791), there were several technical errors that are identified and 
corrected in the Correction of Errors section below. The provisions in 
this correction document are effective as if they had been included in 
the document published March 4, 2019.

II. Summary of Errors

    Due to a technical error, on page 7714, in the 1st column, line 5, 
the Department inadvertently included an incorrect RIN number. The 
Department is correcting this error by inserting the correct RIN 
number.
    Due to a technical error, on page 7787, in the 1st column, line 4, 
the Department included an extra comma after ``award'' and omitted a 
comma after ``grantee.'' The Department is correcting this error by 
removing the comma in the one instance and adding a comma in the other 
instance.
    Due to a technical error, on page 7787, in the 2nd column, line 25 
and the 3rd column, line 1, the Department included quotation marks 
around ``low income family.'' In the first instance, also due to a 
technical error, the Department capitalized ``low.'' The Department is 
correcting these errors by removing the quotation marks in both 
instances and replacing the capital ``L'' with a lower case ``l'' in 
the first instance.
    Due to a technical error, on page 7789, in the 3rd column, line 23, 
the Department simply described ``section 1008 of the Act . . .'' 
without specifying ``Public Health Service.'' The Department is 
correcting this error by clarifying ``section 1008 of the Public Health 
Service Act . . .''
    Due to a technical error, on page 7791, in the 2nd column, lines 6 
and 15, the Department included unnecessary commas. The Department is 
correcting this error by removing these commas.
    Due to a technical error, on page 7791, in the 3rd column, line 10, 
the Department inadvertently included a reference to a subsection 
``gg'' regarding Sec.  59.18. The Department is correcting this error 
by removing the incorrect subsection (gg) notation regarding Sec.  
59.18.

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    The Department will ordinarily publish a notice of proposed 
rulemaking in the Federal Register to provide a period for public 
comment before the provisions of a rule take effect in accordance with 
section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)). However, the Department can waive this notice and comment 
procedure if the Secretary finds, for good cause, that the notice and 
comment process is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the 
public interest, and incorporates a statement of the finding and the 
reasons therefore in the notice.
    Section 553(d) of the APA ordinarily requires a 30-day delay in 
effective date of final rules after the date of their publication in 
the Federal Register. This 30-day delay in effective date can be 
waived, however, if an agency finds for good cause that the delay is 
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, and the 
agency incorporates a statement of the findings and its reasons in the 
rule issued.
    The Department finds it unnecessary to undertake notice and comment 
rulemaking because this notice merely provides technical corrections to 
the regulations. Therefore, the Department finds good cause to waive 
notice and comment procedures.
