Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 51 / Thursday, March 18, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
do not make substantive changes to, the policies and payment methodologies that were proposed, subject to notice and comment procedures, and adopted in the CY 2021 PFS final rule. As a result, the corrections made through this correcting document are intended to resolve inadvertent errors so that the CY
2021 PFS final rule accurately reflects the policies adopted in the final rule.
Even if this were a rulemaking to which the notice and comment and delayed effective date requirements applied, we find that there is good cause to waive such requirements. Undertaking further notice and comment procedures to incorporate the corrections in this document into the CY 2021 PFS final rule or delaying the effective date of the corrections would be contrary to the public interest because it is in the public interest to ensure that the rule accurately reflects our policies as of the
date they take effect. Further, such procedures would be unnecessary because we are not making any substantive revisions to the final rule, but rather, we are simply correcting the Federal Register document to reflect the policies that we previously proposed, received public comment on, and subsequently finalized in the CY 2021
PFS final rule. For these reasons, we believe there is good cause to waive the requirements for notice and comment and delay in effective date.
