  <title><![CDATA[  Medicare Program; Home Health Prospective Payment System Rate  Update for Calendar Year 2005]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2004-06-02-04-12314</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This proposed rule would set forth an update to the 60-day 
national episode rates and the national pervisit amounts under the 
Medicare prospective payment system for home health agencies. As part 
of this proposed rule, we also are proposing to rebase and revise the 
home health market basket to ensure it continues to adequately reflect 
the price changes of efficiently providing home health services. In 
addition, we are proposing to revise the fixed dollar loss ratio, which 
is used in the calculation of outlier payments. This proposed rule 
would be the first update of the home health prospective payment system 
(HH PPS) rates on a calendar year update cycle. HH PPS was moved to a 
calendar year update cycle as a result the provisions of the Medicare 
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.

  <title><![CDATA[
Agency Policy and Guidance: Small Local Governments Compliance  Assistance Policy]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2004-06-02-04-12417</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today issues 
the Small Local Governments Compliance Assistance Policy (the Revised 
Policy), which revises and supercedes EPA's Policy on Flexible State 
Enforcement Responses to Small Community Violations (the Prior Policy). 
EPA issues the Revised Policy to clarify who are the intended 
recipients of state penalty mitigation benefits under the Prior Policy, 
and to make those benefits available, in defined circumstances, to 
local governments with larger resident populations and in response to a 
wider variety of environmental compliance activities. By establishing 
parameters within which EPA will generally defer to a states decision 
to reduce or waive the normal noncompliance penalty of a unit of small, 
generalpurpose local government, the Revised Policy provides an 
incentive for small local governments to seek compliance assistance 
from their states and take the actions necessary to achieve and sustain 
comprehensive environmental compliance.

  <title><![CDATA[  Noise Certification Regulations for Helicopters ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2004-06-02-04-12069</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is amending the 
noise certification regulations for helicopters. These changes are 
based on a joint effort by the FAA, the European Joint Aviation 
Authorities (JAA), and the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee 
(ARAC), to harmonize the U.S. noise certification regulations with the 
European Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) for helicopters. These 
changes will provide nearly uniform noise certification standards for 
helicopters certificated in the United States, the JAA countries, and 
other countries that have adopted as their national regulation, either 
the United States regulations, the JAA regulations, or the 
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. Harmonizing 
the noise certification standards will simplify airworthiness approvals 
for imported and exported helicopters.
