Medicare program; authority citations: technical amendments--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
This technical regulation provides uniform simplified authority citations for most of the parts that pertain to the Medicare program, and revises the sections or paragraphs that explain the statutory basis for the substance of the rules. These changes are consistent with the use of authority citations and paragraphs identified as "statutory basis" in the regulations that pertain to the Medicaid program. They are intended to put an end to the continual changing of the current lengthy authority citations and, by clarifying and, where needed, expanding the "statutory basis" portions, ensure better understanding of that basis.
