Medicare Program; Revisions to the Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Benefit Programs

Fri, May 16 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This proposed rule would make revisions to the Medicare Advantage (MA) program (Part C) and prescription drug benefit program (Part D). The regulation contains new regulatory provisions regarding special needs plans, medical savings accounts (MSA) plans, and cost sharing for dual eligible enrollees in the MA program, the prescription drug payment and novation processes in the Part D program, and the enrollment, appeals, and marketing processes for both programs. We are proposing these changes based on lessons learned since 2006, the initial year of the prescription drug program and the revised MA program.

Livestock Mandatory Reporting; Reestablishment and Revision of the Reporting Regulation for Swine, Cattle, Lamb, and

Fri, May 16 2008 11:00:00 GMT

On April 2, 2001, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) implemented the Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR) program as required by the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 (1999 Act). The statutory authority for the program lapsed on September 30, 2005. In October 2006, legislation was enacted to reauthorize the 1999 Act until September 30, 2010, and to amend the swine reporting requirements of the 1999 Act (Pub. L. 109296) (Reauthorization Act). This final rule will reestablish the regulatory authority for the program's continued operation and incorporate the swine reporting changes contained within the Reauthorization Act as well as make other changes to enhance the program's overall effectiveness and efficiency based on AMS' experience in the administration of the program over the last 6 years.
