| beginning on the date on which an inpatient hospital code is issued with respect to the service or technology. | any code that is used with respect to inpatient hospital services for which payment may be made under the IPPS and includes ICD-9-CM codes and any subsequent revisions. Although the TAH-t has been described by the ICD-9-CM code(s) (described below in the cost threshold discussion) since the time of its FDA approval, because the TAH-t has not been covered under the Medicare program (and, therefore, no Medicare payment has been made for this technology), this code is not “used with respect to inpatient hospital services for which payment” is made under the IPPS, and thus we assume that none of the costs associated with this technology would be reflected in the Medicare claims data used to recalibrate the MS-DRG weights for FY 2009. For this reason, as discussed in the proposed rule, despite its FDA approval date, it appeared that this technology would still be eligible to be considered “new” for purposes of the new technology add-on payment if and when the proposal to reverse the national noncoverage determination concerning this technology was finalized. Therefore, based on this information, we stated that we believed that the TAH-t would meet the newness criterion on the date that Medicare coverage began, consistent with issuance of the final NCD. Because the final NCD was issued and became effective on May 1, 2008, we believe that the TAH-t meets the newness criterion as of May 1, 2008. | United States | 73 FR 48434 |

Under the SPTT, the number of U.S. purse seine vessels that may be authorized to fish in the SPTT Area, including its areas of high seas, is strictly limited to 45, five of which are reserved for vessels engaged in joint ventures with Pacific Island Parties to the SPTT. These fishing rights of the United States under the SPTT provide the basis under CMM 2008-01 for determining effort limits. That is, the determination of the effort limits is based on the product of the number of licenses available under the SPTT and the average numbers of fishing days spent per vessel on the high seas and in the U.S. EEZ in 2004. Finally, although CMM 2008-01 expressly prohibits the use of “bilateral agreements or arrangements” to establish effort levels on the high seas, such restriction does not apply to the SPTT, which is a regional fisheries agreement among seventeen parties.

| build and maintain good bone health, | to convey this information, prompted the agency to request comment in the calcium and vitamin D proposed rule on whether to make information of the mechanism by which calcium reduces the risk of osteoporosis optional in the health claim. Therefore, for the reasons set forth previously in this document, FDA is eliminating the requirement that the claims identify the mechanism by which calcium reduces the risk of osteoporosis, and instead is making such information optional. FDA is also revising the language from the proposed rule for use of the optional statement about slowing the rate of bone loss, by removing the following phrase: “When reference is made to persons with a family history of the disease, post-menopausal women, and elderly men and women * * *” so the language now reads: “The claim may also state that adequate intake of calcium, or when appropriate, adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, is linked to reduced risk of osteoporosis through the mechanism of slowing the rate of bone loss for persons with a family history of the disease, post-menopausal women, and elderly men and women.” This change makes the use of the optional language related to the mechanism of slowing the rate of bone loss consistent with the final rule to remove reference to specific targeted populations as to risk of osteoporosis, but allows reference to family history of the disease, post-menopausal women, and elderly men and women in the context of the mechanism of slowing the rate of bone loss. | United States | 73 FR 56477 |

| but for | by which they seek to achieve that objective. The “but for” test requires an applicant to show that a facility would not be constructed unless the incentive is granted. We reject that test because it erects an evidentiary hurdle that could only, in very rare cases, be satisfied. There are many impediments to investing in new transmission, including siting concerns, financing challenges, rate recovery concerns, etc. It is therefore unreasonable to expect or require an applicant to show that a facility could not be constructed “but for” the removal of a single impediment— e.g. , increased cash flow through 100 percent construction work-in-progress (CWIP) or an enhanced ROE. This test could rarely, if ever, be satisfied, particularly given that incentives are ordinarily sought before investment decisions are made and, hence, before any siting impediments are even confronted. | United States | 72 FR 1152 |
