I. Background

    In FR Doc. 2022-19099 of September 6, 2022 (87 FR 54510), there was 
a technical error that is identified and corrected in this correcting 
document. The provision in this correction document is effective as if 
it had been included in the document published September 6, 2022. 
Accordingly, the correction is effective through September 26, 2026.

II. Summary of Errors

    On page 54512, we inadvertently listed the accrediting organization 
as ``TJC''. Therefore, we are replacing ``TJC's'' with ``DNV's''.

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    We 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, we 
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.
    We believe that this final notice correction does not constitute a 
rule that would be subject to the notice and comment requirements. This 
document corrects a technical and typographical error in the final 
notice. This final notice correction is intended to ensure that the 
information in the final notice is accurate.
    We find that there is good cause to waive such requirements as 
unnecessary, as we are not altering our decision to approve the 
application by DNV for its continued hospital accrediting program, but 
rather, we are simply making a technical correction. This final notice 
correction is intended solely to ensure that the final notice 
accurately reflects the correct information.

IV. Correction of Errors

    In FR Doc. 2022-19099 of September 6, 2022 (87 FR 54510), make the 
following correction:
    1. On page 54512, in the first column; in the first partial 
paragraph, line 4, correct ``TJC's'' to read ``DNV's''.
    The Director, Office of Strategic Operations and Regulatory Affairs 
of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Kathleen 
Cantwell, having reviewed and approved this document on September 20, 
2022, authorizes Lynette Wilson, who is the Federal Register Liaison, 
to electronically sign this document for purposes of publication in the 
Federal Register.

    Dated: September 27, 2022.
Lynette Wilson,
Federal Register Liaison, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
